延庆古崖居遗址的年代与族属

On the Date and Ethnic Affiliation of the Ancient Cliff-side Living Site in Yanqing

延庆县古崖居遗址为人工开凿于山崖之上的洞窟遗址。有学者认为古崖居属于契丹燕王家族墓地,也有学者认为属于西奚人的居住址。从目前的发现来看,将其族属定为西奚是可信的,但以往的相关研究和考证的方法值得商榷。本文依据遗存自身的时代与文化特征,结合相关文献记载,试做更深入的探讨。

The ancient cliff-side living site in Yanqing County is a man-cut cave. Some scholar believes it to have belonged to the family cemetery of a Yan prince of the Qidan Ethnic Group, but another thinks it to have been a living site of the Western Xi Ethnic Group. Judged by the discovered remains, the theory of Western Xi affiliation must be believable, but the methods of its previous related studies and researches are open to question. The present paper tries to do a deeper research on the problem according to the date and cultural features of the remains and taking the relevant written records into account.
