回望曲村——山西晋文化墓地发掘历程

Looking back to Qucun:the excavations of the Jin cemeteries in Shanxi

1963年,北大和山西开启了至今已近半个世纪的合作探索晋文化之路,从1980年至今,天马一曲村遗址的发掘持续进行了多次,以大量的材料,确凿的证据证明曲村—天马遗址是又一处西周晋国的都城,已发掘晋侯及夫人墓9组19座、陪葬墓、祭祀坑各数+座,车马坑1座《发现10座),发掘者确定这批晋侯墓葬属于晋国第二代国君燮父至第十代文侯共9位晋侯及其夫人之墓,这是迄今西周考古最重大的发现。它不仅证实了司马迁《史记·晋世家>关于晋国世系记载的正确,复原了西周晋国的历史,还为西周考古提供了更为准确的分期标尺,而今天,在已经建成晋国博物馆的曲村遗址上,分别走过60年发展历程的北大考古专业和山西考古研究所的合作,注定会铸成一座丰碑,

In 1963,Beijing University and Shanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology started their now nearly 50 years cooperation for the exploration of the Jin culture.Many excavations had been conducted sine 1980s. Archaeological date demonstrates that the Qucun - Tianma area had been another capital of the Jin State in the Western Zhou period.Nineteen tombs of the Jin Dukes(the second Jin Duke Xiefu to the tenth Jin Duke Wenhou) and their wives,as well as tens of subordinate tombs,sacrificial pits and chariot pits had been discovered.This is one the most significant discoveries of the Western Zhou archaeology by present.The newly built museum at Qucun will be memorial hall of the cooperation between Beijing University and Shanxi Institure.
