试论贵州地区“石棺葬”的分区与年代

Prolegomenon on Guizhou Cist-tomb Classification and Periodization

汉晋以降，贵州出现一类以天然薄石板营建墓室、形制与川滇地区石棺葬相似的小型石墓，至宋明时尤为流行，迄今仍有孑遗。早在20世纪40年代，德人鲍克兰在贵州普定进行仡佬族调查时就注意到这类被当地人称为“仡佬坟”的墓葬，并在其《贵州仡佬族的历史和现状》一文中，将之称为“石板墓”[1]。

Cist-tomb is a special kind of relic from minority group s in Guizhou Province. We have found more than 20 sites in Guizhou province, it shows that some Miao and Hui people still keep this custom. Based on the tomb＇ shapes and funeral objects, they are divided into 2 sub-areas, the south-west and middlelands. In the southwest, cist-tombs were from Han and Jill Dynasties, and the ones in middlelands were from Song and Ming Dynasties.
