河南新郑望京楼二里岗文化城址东一城门发掘简报

Excavation Report of the Eastern Gate No. 1 of the City Site of Erligang Culture in Wangjinglou, Xinzheng, Henan

2010年9月至2011年4月,郑州市文物考古研究院在新郑市望京楼遗址发掘了一座二里头文化城址和一座二里岗文化城址。在二里岗文化城址共发现3座城门,其中东一城门保存最为完整,形制奇特,已出现瓮城的雏形,带有浓厚的军事防御色彩。发掘者推测,望京楼二里岗文化城址可能是郑州商城南部的一座军事重镇。东一城门的发掘,为研究商代城门形制以及早期城池建设提供了重要的实物资料。

From September of 2010 to April of 2011, the Zhengzhou Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology uncovered a city site of the Erlitou Culture and a city site of the Erligang Culture at the Wangjinglou site in Xinzheng City. In the city site of the Erligang Culture, 3 city gates were found. One of the two eastern gates （dubbed No. 1） was well-preserved, having an unusual structure suggesting the early emergence of the wengcheng-type barbican, which is strongly suggestive of military defense. Archaeologists suggest that this city site was possibly one of the important military settlements in the southern part of the Shang City in Zhengzhou. The excavation of the Eastern Gate No. 1 provides important materials to the study of the structure of city gates of the Shang dynasty and the construction of early cities.
