江苏泰州宋代涵洞发掘简报

Preliminary Report on the Excavation of the Song-dynasty Handong (Culverts) in Taizhou,Jiangsu

江苏泰州城历史悠久,有"汉唐古郡,淮海名区"之称,但是唐宋时期的城市布局不明。2006年8月,泰州市博物馆对泰州城宋代涵洞进行了考古发掘,发现不同时期灰坑、墓葬,出土了一批汉、五代、宋、明时期的陶瓷器、擂球。此次发掘不仅解决了不同时期涵洞和城墙的建筑年代问题,而且为研究宋代泰州的城市规模和布局、研究古代城墙配套设施提供了新的资料。

In 2006, Taizhou Municipal Museum conducted an excavation, which led to the discovery of different sections of city wall and handong（culverts） features. Ash pits, tombs, features with red-burnt soil were excavated. In addition, ceramics, porcelain, and some other types of remains such as brick-texture balls dating to the Han, Fiver dynasties, Song, and Ming periods have been unearthed. The handong identified through this excavation should date to the Song period. The new discoveries provide new clues for addressing the dates of construction time of city walls as well as for exploring the city- scale and layout of the Taizhou urban center in the Song period.
