南京栖霞狮子冲南朝大墓发掘简报

Excavation Report of the Southern Dynasties Tombs at Shizichong, Qixia, Nanjing

2013年1—6月,南京市考古研究所在栖霞区新合村狮子冲发掘了两座南朝大型砖室墓。两墓东西并列,东南距狮子冲石刻约400米。两墓规模庞大,墓室砖壁上均发现了拼接整齐的砖印壁画,尤其是1号墓西壁上的"竹林七贤"砖印壁画,在全国范围内皆属罕见。两墓各出土一块纪年砖,为判断两墓的埋葬时代及墓主人身份提供了重要依据。

In January- June 2013, Nanjing Municipal Institute of Archaeology conducted an excavation on the two large brick-chambered tombs dating to the Southern Dynasties at Shizichong, Qixia, Nanjing.The two tombs are juxtaposed and about 400 meters away from the carved stone. Both of them were discovered with neatly assembled pictorial bricks, rare to see in China. The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove painted on the western wall of No. 1 tomb is particularly a rare example of its kind. Each tomb was unearthed with a chronological brick, which provides important information for identifying the tomb owner and the burial time.
