河南淅川仓房新四队两座汉墓

Two Han Dynasty Tombs Discovered at Xinsidui

河南省淅川县仓房镇新四队墓群,位于豫西南和鄂西北交界处的丹江口水库西岸南端的磨子岭上。2010年7-9月,为配合国家南水北调中线水利工程丹江口库区工程,根据国家文物局和河南省文物局南水北调文物保护办公室的统一安排,受河南省文物考古研究所委托,南开大学考古学与博物馆学系对该墓群进行了抢救性发掘,共清理战国楚墓、秦汉墓葬48座。本文报道其中两座保存较好的汉墓M11、M23。二墓皆为长方形竖穴土(岩)坑墓,M11为一椁两棺的夫妻合葬墓,M23为一椁一棺的单人葬,二墓出土陶、铜、铁等质地随葬品48件(套)。M23年代约属西汉早期(上限或可早至秦代),M11年代约为西汉晚期。这两座墓葬的发掘,丰富了豫西南地区汉代墓葬的考古资料,为研究汉代这一地区的丧葬习俗和物质文化提供了新资料。

The Xinsidui tombs are located on the Mozi hill southwest of the Danjiangkou reservoir in Xichuan county, Henan province, a place connecting southwest Henan and northwest Hubei. From July to September 2010, under the instructions of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Cultural Relics Protection Office in South-to-North Water Diversion Project of the Henan Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics, entrusted by the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, an emergent excavation was carried out by the Department of Archaeology and Museology of Nankai University at the Xinsidui tombs. The excavation is also part of the National South-to-North Water Diversion Project at Danjiangkou reservoir. Forty-eight tombs dating to the Warring States, Qin and Han period have been excavated. The current paper is a report about two well preserved tombs M11 and M23. Both are rectangular in shape built with earth（stones） and a vertical pit. M11 is furnished with one coffin and two outer coffins and M23 with one coffin and one outer coffin. Forty-eight burial objects made in pottery, bronze or iron are excavated. M23 probably dates to the Qin dynasty or early Han dynasty. M11 probably dates to the late Western Han. The discovery of these two tombs provides new archaeological data for studying Han dynasty burial customs and culture in southwest Henan.
