2013年7～8月，为配合巴仑台至伊尔根铁路及伴行公路建设，新疆文物考古研究所运用RTK技术对新疆和静县哈布其罕萨拉（萨托为蒙语“沟”）、哈尔哈提沟和巴音布鲁克草原小裕勒都斯盆地东北山前地带内的40余处墓地和石构遗址进行了详细调查和测绘，并对化于施工区域内的6处墓地和1处石构遗址进行了抢救性发掘，共清理墓葬33座，发掘遗址面积1300余平方米。现将发掘情况简报如下。

In July and August 2013, Xinjiang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology conducted compre- hensive surveys and mappings to the over 40 cemeteries and stone-structured remains in Hejing Coun- ty, which are located at Habqihan Sala, Harahat Valley and the piedmont zone in the northeast of the Kigik Yulduz Basin in the Bayan Bulak Grassland, and organized rescue excavations to six cemeteries and one stone-structured remain in planned construction areas. The excavations recovered 29 burials belonging to five cemeteries, of which 25 were stone-encircled tombs with roughly the same features similar to that of the burials of Chawuhu （Charwighul） Culture and dated to the late phase of the latter, belonging to tbe late Bronze Age to the early Iron Age： four were stone cairn tombs, the dates of which are still waiting for further exploration because of the scarce grave goods. These excavations and survey and mapping fieldwork enriched the understandings to the connotations of the ancient cultures in Hejing area even the entire Yanqi （Qarasahr） Basin and provided important clues for the explorations on the origins and development of Chawuhu Culture.
