岭南战国秦汉墓的“架棺”葬俗

The Burial Custom of "Stilting Coffin" in the Lingnan Region

在部分岭南战国秦汉墓葬中,随葬器物的空间分布和保存状态显示出"架棺"的迹象。结合广州汉墓中"架棺"和"架举棺室"的实例,以及部分岭南战国秦汉墓葬中墓底柱洞和凹槽的发现情况,推测"架棺"葬俗在战国秦汉时期岭南地区的越人墓葬中使用较为普遍。"架棺"的方式较为复杂,此葬俗的文化含义也值得深入研究。

In the Lingnan Region, some archaeologically excavated tombs of the Warring-States Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties showed the traces of the burial custom of ＂stilting coffin＂ by the spatial distribution and positions of the grave goods. Referring to the facts of ＂stilting coffin＂ and ＂stilting coffin chamber＂ found from the Han tombs in Guangzhou and the postholes and grooves found on the bottoms of some tombs of the Warring-States Period through the Han Dynasty in the Lingnan Region, it is inferred that the burial custom of stilting coffins several dozens of centimeters above the tomb bottoms was very popular among the tombs of the Yue people living in the Lingnan Region during the Warring-States Period through the Han Dynasty. The way of ＂stilting coffin＂ was rather complicated and the meaning of this burial custom is worthy of in-depth researching.
