河南新乡市五陵村汉代墓葬

The Tombs of the Han Dynasty at Wuling Village,Xinxiang City,Henan

2003年7月，为配合新乡水电厂扩建工程，新乡市文物工作队在新乡市北部20公里的凤泉区五陵村西发掘了一批两汉时期墓葬（图一）。这次发掘的墓葬与河南新乡五陵村战国两汉墓属同一墓地。现将这次发掘的墓葬简报如下。

In July 2003, Xinxiang Municipal Archaeological Team excavated some tombs of the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties located to the west of Wuling Village, Fengquan District in the north of Xinxiang City. The types of these tombs are earthen cave tomb with shaft passage and brick-chamber tomb, the grave goods of which are potteries including Ding-tripods, cases, pots, jars, bowls, Fu-cauldrons, Yah-steamers, imitation barns, Zun-wine vessels, ladles, pans, horse heads, owls and dogs, the bronzes are mainly belt hooks. The types of these tombs and the grave good assemblages varied from each other, which might be related to their different dates. The sizes of these tombs are usually small and the grave goods are not rich, reflecting that they would be the tombs of common people. The excavation of these tombs will be helpful for exploring the evolution routes of the funeral customs of the common people in Xinxiang area during the Han Dynasty and understanding the situations of the handi- crafts in these area and the influences of the traditional ritual system to the daily lives of the common people at that time.
