武汉市盘龙城遗址杨家湾北坡发掘简报

A Preliminary Report on the Excavation of the Northern Slop of Yangjiawan at the Panlongcheng Archaeological Site in Wuhan

2014年,武汉大学历史学院等单位在盘龙城遗址杨家湾岗地北坡进行了发掘,发现较厚的商代文化堆积,并发现一处建筑基址。遗存年代主要为盘龙城第五期至第七期,说明盘龙城较晚阶段杨家湾北坡有较为频繁的人类活动。此外,本次发掘发现部分单位印纹硬陶比例明显偏高,且烧流鼓泡硬陶片所占比例也偏高,说明该区域可能靠近印纹硬陶生产作坊区。

In 2014,archaeologists from the History School of Wuhan University and associated institutions conducted excavation on the northern slope of the Yangjiawan mound at Panlongcheng.We discovered a thick layer of Shang period anthropogenic deposits as well as the remains of structural foundations.These remains were dated to Panlongcheng Period 5through Panlongcheng Period 7,and indicate fairly constant anthropogenic activity at the Panlongcheng site during its later occupation phases.Additionally,our excavation revealed a relatively high amount of stamped pottery as well as stamped pottery sherds bearing ash and firing residue,which suggests that this area may have been a near an area of ancient pottery production.
