河北卢龙蔡家坟遗址战国墓葬发掘简报

The Excavation of the Burials of the Warring-States Period at Caijiafen Site in Lulong County,Hebei

2013年6~9月,河北省文物研究所等在蔡家坟遗址发掘了一批战国瓮棺葬和土坑墓。瓮棺葬均为儿童墓,瓮棺由釜、瓮、盆三种陶器组合构成,均没有随葬器物。土坑墓分布有一定规律,出土器物有陶鼎、豆、罐、壶、盂和石璧、石片等。根据墓葬之间的打破关系和出土器物判断,瓮棺葬的年代属于战国中、晚期,土坑墓的年代可分为战国早、中、晚三期。瓮棺葬、土坑墓的基本特征与燕山南麓地区、辽西地区的同类墓葬基本一致,土坑墓还具有自身的特色。此次发掘为讨论燕文化的传播、扩张以及本地葬俗的发展、演变提供了新材料。

In June through September 2013, Research Institute of Cultural Relics of Hebei Province and other institutions excavated a group of urn burials and earthen pit burials of the Warring-States Period at Caijiafen Site. All of the urn burials were infant burials, the burial receptacles of which consisted of pottery fu-cauldron, vat and basin assembled together, and no grave goods were found in them. The distribution of the earthen pit burials followed some rule, the grave goods unearthed from which were pottery cling-tripods, dou-stemmed bowls, pots, yu-basins, stone hi-discs and flakes, etc. Referring to the stratigraphical relationships among the burials and the artifacts unearthed from them, the dates of the urn burials are estimated to be the mid and late Warring-States Period, and that of the earthen pit burials could be divided into the early, middle and late phases of the Warring-States Period. The basic features of these burials are roughly the same as that of the burials of the same type on the south side of the Yanshan Mountains and western Liaoning, but the earthen pit burials had their own characteristics. The discovery of these burials provided new materials for the explorations on the diffusion and expansion of the Yan Culture and the development and evolution of the local funeral customs.
