河南巩义唐墓发掘简报

The Excavation of the Tombs of the Tang Dynasty in Gongyi, Henan

2004年4月,郑州市文物考古研究院与巩义市文物保护管理所联合组队,对巩义市城东新区的巩义市行政中心大楼地基内的8座墓葬进行了发掘,其中一座为唐墓。该墓为斜坡墓道土洞墓,由墓道、过洞、天井、甬道及墓室组成,规模较大。出土器物有陶器和瓷器,其中镇墓兽、武士俑、文官俑、武官俑等较精美。通过与巩义地区已发掘的唐墓比较,推测此墓的年代在720年前后。

In April 2004, Zhengzhou Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and Commission for Preservation of Ancient Monuments, Gongyi City conducted joint excavation to the eight tombs located within the construction site of the building of the Gongyi Municipal Administrative Center in the Chengdong New District. One of these tombs was that of the Tang Dynasty: it was a large-sized earthen cave tomb consisting of the passage, tunnel, ventilating shaft, corridor and chamber. The grave goods included potteries and porcelains, among which the figurines of tomb-quelling beasts, warriors, civil and military officials are the elaborate ones. The comparison of this tomb and its contents to other tombs of the Tang Dynasty excavated in Gongyi area shows that the date of this tomb was around 720 AD.
