西安市汉唐昆明池遗址区西周遗存的重要考古发现

The Important Archaeological Discovery of the Western Zhou Remains in the Ruins of the Kunming Lake of the Han and Tang Dynasties in Xi'an

昆明池是汉上林苑中最重要的池沼。2012年秋至2013年春，中国社会科学院考古研究所与西安市文物保护考古研究院联合组成的阿房宫与上林苑考古队，对位于昆明池文化生态景区约200万平方米的范围开展考古勘探。在汉唐昆明池遗址的淤积层下发现了大量的古代遗存，集中分布于一条大型壕沟（G1）西侧。为确定G1及周边遗存的时代及性质，2012年秋至2013年4月，我们对G1选点进行了解剖，并清理了其西侧的一处车马坑遗存，取得了重要的学术成果。现将有关情况简要介绍如下。

In the autumn 2012 through the spring 2013, the Joint Epang Palace and Shanglin Park Archaeological Team conducted coring test to the ruins of the Kunming Lake of the Han and Tang Dynasties in Xi＇an, by which a large-sized ditch or channel （numbered as G1） stretching in southwest-northeast orientation was found beneath the silt layers of the lake bottom. Sectioning result showed that the date of the use of this ditch was the Western Zhou Dynasty, and two chariot and horse pits of the Western Zhou Dynasty were also found and excavated to its west. The coring test revealed densely distributed ash pits, burials, chariot and horse pits and other remains of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the west of this ditch but no remains of the Western Zhou Dynasty have been found to its east, indicating that the G1 was an important border of the Western Zhou remains in the Kunming Lake area, which provided new data for confirming the scope of Haojing. The discoveries of the chariot and horse pits and other remains of the Western Zhou Dynasty surrounding them filled up the blank of the Western Zhou archaeology in this area and are very valuable for the research on the planning of the Haojing Site.
