河北行唐县故郡东周遗址

The Gujun Site of the Eastern Zhou Period in Xingtang County, Hebei

故郡遗址发现了丰富的墓葬、车马-殉牲坑、房址、水井、灰坑、窑址、灰沟等遗迹,出土一大批金、铜、玉、石、骨、角、蚌、贝、陶等各类遗物。遗址年代自春秋晚期延续至战国中晚期,可能与鲜虞和中山国文化密切相关,特别是车马-殉牲坑形制独特,为国内首次发现,为研究北方族群与华夏系统的融合与嬗变提供了重要资料。

In the years 2015 through 2017, archaeological excavations were conducted to the Gujun Site in Xingtang County, which recovered burials, chariot-and-horse and animal victim pits, house foundations, water wells, ash pits, kilns, ash ditches and other features, from which artifacts made of gold, bronze, jade, stone, bone, horn and antler, shell and cowry, pottery, etc. were unearthed. The date of this site was from the late Spring- and-Autumn Period to the mid and late Warring-States Period, in which the city site, burials and residential areas were existing together; their dates, locations and cultural connotations are all closely related to the Xianyu Tribe and Zhongshan State, especially the chariot-and-horse and animal victim pits with unique form were the first archaeologically discovered remains of this type. The discovery of the Gujun Site reflected the convergence and evolutions of the cultures of the ethnic groups in the Northern Frontier Zone and the Huaxia System, and provided important materials for the researches on the processes of the Sinicization of the northern ethnic groups such as Rong and Di and the configuration of the Chinese nation as a pluralistic integration.
