内蒙古西岔三期遗存性质考察

Nature of the Remains of Phase Three of the Xicha Culture

西岔遗址位于内蒙古自治区清水河县城关镇西岔村,1997-2002年,内蒙古文物考古研究所在该遗址发掘了1600平方米,出土的陶、石、骨、铜器等数百件。发掘者将第三期遗存命名为＂西岔文化＂。本文通过对遗物的考察认为：西岔三期的陶、铜、石器中,如双鋬罐、高领双鋬鬲、碗形豆盘等有一定的自身特点,且在李家崖和辛庄遗址的李家崖文化遗存内未见;但三期遗存中的高领鬲的风格、浅腹豆盘、高领小口瘦腹罐、簋的方圈足残沿、罐形鼎（辛庄出土的近似）、盆、铜銎钺、弧体形石刀等,与李家崖文化中的同类器相似,其时代、地域相近邻。因而本文认为西岔三期遗存可归为李家崖文化的一个类型,即西岔类型。

The Xicha site is located at the Xicha village in Chengguan town,Qinshui county,Inner Mongolia. Between 1997 and 2002,the Inner Mongolia Provincial Institute of Archaeology excavated 1600 sq meters of the site and discovered hundreds of artifacts including ceramic,stone,bone,and bronze objects. The excavator proposed to name the remains of phase three archaeological remains the ‘Xicha＇culture. This article suggests that the ceramic assemblage such as the doublehandleguan jar,long-neck and double-handleli tripod,and pen-shapeddou basin is of distinctive local characteristics,which have not been found at the Lijiaya and Xinzhuang sites of the Lijiaya Culture. Nonetheless,the long-neckedli,shallow-basin dou,long-neck small-mouthed jar,and square-ringfootgui with ring feet,and guan-shapedding tripod,pen,bronze-socket yue axe,and curved stone knife were very identical to those counterparts in the Lijiaya culture. Since the Xicha Culture is contemporary with and adjacent to the Lijiaya Culture,this article proposes that the Xicha Culture is one local variation of the Lijiaya Culture and should be named the ‘Xicha Type＇.
