成都市中和镇板栗湾西汉崖墓M17发掘简报

The Excavation of the Cliff Burial M17 of the Western Han Dynasty at Banliwan in Zhonghe Town, Chengdu

2015年,成都板栗湾墓地进行了发掘。崖墓M17由竖穴墓道、封门、三个墓室、棺龛、壁龛等组成,平面呈"十"字形。该墓时代为西汉晚期偏晚,墓中可见四次埋葬过程。M17未被盗扰,随葬品的种类、位置等对研究器物分布、墓葬形制和祭祀等有重要意义。竖穴墓道的形制对研究崖墓的起源演变也有参考价值。

In 2015, rescue excavation was conducted to the Banliwan (Chestnut Bay) Cemetery in Chengdu. Among the recovered burials, the cliff burial M17 consisted of the vertical shaft passage, entrance sealing wall, three chambers, coffin recess and wall recesses, which formed a cross-shaped plan. The date of this burial was the late stage of the late Western Han Dynasty, and four times of interments could be seen in this burial. M17 had not been disturbed before excavation, therefore the types and locations of the grave goods are significantly meaningful for the studies on the distributions of the grave goods, the structures of the burials and the sacrificial ceremonies. The vertical shaft passage of this burial different from the horizontal passages of the cliff burials of the Eastern Han Dynasty is valuable as a reference for the research on the origination and evolution of cliff burials.
