内蒙古多伦县小王力沟辽代墓葬

2015年5月，内蒙古多伦县一处古墓葬被盗。经上级文物管理部门批准，内蒙古文物考古研究所与锡林郭勒盟文物保护管理站、多伦县文物局组成联合考古队，于2015年6～12月对该墓地进行了抢救性发掘。墓地位于锡林郭勒盟多伦县蔡木山乡铁公泡子村五组西南约5公里的一处山谷中，当地称为“小王力沟”（图一）。

In June through December 2015, two large-sized tombs of the elites of the Liao Dynasty were excavated at Xiao Wangli Gou in Duolun County, Inner Mongolia. From the M2 of them, large amounts of elaborate grave goods were unearthed, including gold and silver wares, bronzes, iron objects, jades, glass wares, porcelain and pottery wares, etc. The rims and feet of the porcelain wares were mostly mounted with gold and silver curbs, so this is a concentrated discovery of gold- and silver-mounted porcelain wares of the Liao Dynasty. The M2 also yielded a well- preserved epitaph, showing that its occupant is Mme Xiao, the guifei （honored consort） of Emperor Shengzong of the Liao Dynasty, and she was entombed in the eleventh year of Tonghe Era （993 AD）, The epitaph recorded the glorious history of the history of Mme Xiao, which is significantly valuable for the study on the history of the Liao Dynasty. The date of the tomb M1 would be the mid to the late Liao Dynasty; it has large scale and luxurious decorations, and yielded some high-ranking grave goods, showing that its occupant would be an important member of Mme Xiao＇ s family.
