山东龙口市归城两周城址调查简报

The Preliminary Report of the Survey to the Western and Eastern Zhou Guicheng City Site in Longkou City,Shandong

山东龙口市归城遗址是胶东地区重要的周代城址，曾出土包括启尊、启卣，以及黄县冥器等在内的重要青铜器，为学术界所重视。归城遗址也是胶东地区青铜时代规模最大、内涵最为丰富的一处城址，对它的系统研究可以对胶东地区古代文明和国家形成过程的探索起到极为重要的作用。

In 2007- 2009, the Sino-American Archaeological Team sponsored by the joint effort of the Institute of Archaeology（CASS）, Columbia University, and Shandong Provincial Institute of Archaeology conducted systematic survey of the Guicheng city site, located to the southeast of present-day Longkou City, Shandong Province. The survey reveals that the Guicheng city site is composed of two concentric wall enclosures, the outer wall encircling an area of ca. 8 sq km. The L-shaped inner city has been the focus of intensive coring, which confirmed the locations of 17 architectural foundations, 2 sections of the road network, the main city gate, the water system, and other important features. The outer city wall stretches to a total length of 8.15 km, running over the hilltops lying to the north of Lai Mountain. The wide zone between the two wall circles was fully covered with systematic surface sampling to determine the continuous distribution of pottery shards. The survey yielded a rich inventory of pottery that shows a division between two distinctive production traditions： A） that which features elements evidently introduced from the Central Plain in the west, and B） that which is identifiable to the local pottery tradition in eastern Shandong. The main occupation of the Guicheng city site can be dated to the Western Zhou （1045-771 BC） through the Spring and Autumn period （770-481 BC）. The discoveries break new ground for understanding the material cultures as well as the complex sociopolitical processes in the Shandong peninsula during the late Bronze Age.
