河姆渡遗址发掘记忆碎片

Unearthing the Debris of Memories at the Hemudu Site

1973年发现并开始发掘的浙江余姚河姆渡遗址,以距今7000余年前的精美黑陶,骨雕,干栏式建筑,稻谷等重大发现著称于世,曾入编中小学历史课本,并拍摄成彩色记录片,被苏秉琦先生赞为"一朵花"。当时农田水利建设迅猛发展的形势,这样一处内涵全新的新石器时代遗址,艰苦的生活条件,让发掘队员们经历了各种考验,但并没能击垮人们的工作热忱。同时这也是一处在那个年代备受瞩目和重视的遗址,第二次发掘伴随着"浙江省第一届亦工亦农考古训练班"的举办,对遗址进行了大面积揭露,每天在探方内作业的人员及农民工多达200多人,可谓浙江省考古发掘史上前所未有。在遗址发现即将迎来60周年之际,本文作者作为发掘者之一,执笔感念那个火热年代里的生活和工作,以为纪念。
