新疆温泉县阿敦乔鲁遗址与墓地

The Aduun Chuluu Site and Cemetery in Wenquan(Arixang)County,Xinjiang

2012年,阿敦乔鲁遗址发掘了3座大型建筑遗迹和9座石板墓。出土了陶器、石器、铜器以及包金铜耳环、石人等遗物。遗址与墓葬的年代集中在公元前19世纪至公元前17世纪间,属于青铜时代早期。这批材料对揭示西天山地区青铜时代遗址的面貌、探索新疆地区早期青铜时代的文化及与亚欧草原地区的文化交流提供了重要线索。

In 2012, three large-scale architectural remains and nine in Aduun Chuluu Site and Cemetery, from which potteries, stone implements stone slab tombs were excavated and small bronze wares and gold- plated bronze earrings and stone human statues were unearthed. The dates of the remains and burials were concentrated between the 19th to the 17th centuries BC, which was the early Bronze Age in this region. This discovery is helpful for revealing the features of the sites of the early Bronze Age in the western Tianshan Mountains and provides important clues for the explorations on the cultural connotations of the early Bronze Age in Xinjiang and the cultural intercommunication in the Eurasian Steppe area at that time.
