随州叶家山西周曾国墓地M1墓主族属辨析

A Discrimination of the Identity of M1 Host in Suizhou Yejiashan Cemetery

出土铭文证实叶家山西周早期的曾国为姬姓,并不代表整个叶家山西周墓地的所有墓葬均系姬姓周人墓。叶家山M1挖建了腰坑,并在腰坑内殉狗;出土的青铜器及铭文特征的商文化因素更浓厚,鼎的数量多于曾侯;位于整片墓地东北端,与墓地中另外一座挖建腰坑的墓葬似有集中分布的现象,反映出叶家山M1墓主人的身份可能系灭商前居住在当地的广义的殷遗民或随南公一支就封至曾国的殷遗民。

Although the excavated inscription proved that,the clan name of Zeng State is Ji,it doesn＇t mean all the tombs in Yejiashan belong to Zhou people.Consider that M1 had waist pit with sacrificed dog,the characteristic of bronze vessels and inscription were more similar to Shang culture,buried more bronze Ding than rulers of Zeng,and located in the northeastern corner of the cemetery together with another tomb which also had waist pit,this paper suggests that,the host of M1 was probably Descendant of Yin who was local,or migrated here following the branch of Nangong.
