2010年度秦始皇帝陵园礼制建筑遗址考古勘探简报

A Brief Report on the 2010 Archaeological Survey of the Architectural Remains in the Qinshihuangdi Mausoleum

为进一步探索秦始皇帝陵园的陵寝布局及结构，2010年度，陕西省考古研究院秦陵考古队在此前工作的基础上继续对陵园进行了考古勘探，本年度的工作集中在历年未进行考古工作的内城以内西北部区域。通过勘探，基本探明了此区域内地下遗存的分布情况及内涵，发现了秦始皇帝陵园内面积达15万平方米的大型礼制建筑遗址。现将本次建筑遗址勘探收获简报如下。

In 2010, the Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology carried out an archaeological survey of the Qinshihuangdi Mausoleum. The surveyed area is within the mausoleum＇s inner city, on its northwest part. It measures 598 meters from north to south, and 241 meters from east to west. In this 150,000 square meter surveyed area, archaeologists found a well preserved architectural site. The structures on each side of the site were built symmetrically in the form of ten courtyards and nine alleys. These well preserved architectural remains show a perfect design, complicated structures, and are large in scale. Such architectural remains are rarely seen in imperial mausoleums in China, thus, they are important new materials for understanding the Qinshihuangdi Mausoleum as well as the imperial mortuary system of ancient China.
