西安市东郊东小寨村12号墓发掘简报

The Excavation of Tomb No.12 in Xiaozhai in the Eastern Suburb of Xi’an

2018年1月至10月,西安市文物保护考古研究院与西北大学文化遗产学院在西安市幸福林带建设工程项目三工区C1段(西安市东小寨村西北)发现并清理了一批墓葬,其中C1-M12是一座带墓道的单室土洞墓,出土遗物包括镇墓兽、天王俑、塔式罐、人俑、骆驼俑、马俑、铅器及铜器等。从墓葬形式及随葬器物的特征初步判断其年代在盛唐时期,是研究当时丧葬习俗的重要资料。又由于这座墓葬距离唐长安城东城墙遗址约2.50千米,对于唐长安城东城墙遗址以东区域墓葬的分布状况及分布规律的研究具有重要意义。

From January to October in 2018, archaeologists from Xi'an Institute of Cultural Property Preservation and Archaeology and those from Cultural Heritage College of Northwest University discovered and excavated a series of tombs in Section C1 of Zone No.3 of the Happiness Forest Belt (Xingfu Lindai) construction site (in the northwest of East Xiaozhai Village, Xi'an). C1-M12 is a single-chambered earthen cave tomb with a tomb passage. Unearthed items include tomb-guarding beasts, figurines of heavenly kings, tower-shaped jars, figurines of human, camels, horses, lead implements and bronzeware, etc. The tomb structure and traits of funeral objects lead to the preliminary conclusion that the tomb was constructed when Tang Dynasty reached its zenith. Important materials for researches concerning contemporary burial rites have been collected. Because of the fact that this tomb is approximately 2.5 kilometers away from the east city wall of Chang'an, the excavation is of great significance for the study on regional tomb distribution and regularities in this area.
