江苏无锡胥山湾晚唐吴氏墓葬发掘简报

Brief Excavation Report of the Tombs of the Wu Family Dating to the Late Tang in Xushanwan,Wuxi,Jiangsu Province

2012—2013年,无锡市文化遗产保护和考古研究所调查、发掘了位于江苏省无锡市滨湖区胡埭镇阖闾村的胥山湾晚唐吴氏家族墓群。同期发掘的吴氏家族墓共8座,均为船形砖室墓,保存基本完好。墓中出土有陶瓷器、钱币、带有"吴墓"铭文的墓砖和有明确纪年的墓志。这批船形墓的形制特殊,且有明确的纪年,可以为船形砖室墓的分期标准提供新的佐证;同时将吴氏家族回迁至无锡的历史从南宋提前到了晚唐,对于研究吴氏家族迁徙历史和唐代吴姓郡望有重大意义。

From 2012 to 2013, Wuxi Municipal Institute of Cultural Heritage Protection and Archaeolo- gy conducted investigations and excavations on the Wu family tombs dating to the late Tang Dynasty located in Xushanwan, Hclv, Hudai, Binghu, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. The excavation unearthed eight tombs in total, all of which are boat-shaped tombs with brick chambers and have been well preserved. The unearthed burial objects include pottery wares, coins as well as bricks with ＂tomb of the Wu＂ （wumu） inscriptions and epi- taphs with clearly specified date. With special shape and clear dating, these tombs may provide new evi- dence for the classification criteria of brick-chambered boat-shaped tombs. Meanwhile, they help to bring forward the time period when the Wu family moved back to Wuxi from the Southern Song to the late Tang, which is of great significance to the study of the Wu family＇ s migration history and the prefectures where the Wu family thrived in the Tang dynasty.
