江西黎川明代南京城墙砖官窑遗址调查简报

Survey on the Ming Dynasty Official Brickkilns Site in Lichuan, Jiangxi Province

2017年2—3月,江西省黎川县明代砖窑遗址初步调查后发现窑址115座、砖坯堆放地、古道路遗迹,以及铁叉、带有铭文的南京城墙砖等遗物。结合南京城墙现存城砖材料及文献资料,推测这一砖窑遗址属于明代初期为南京城墙营建烧制城砖的砖官窑,也是长江中下游地区迄今为止发现的规模最大、保存最完好的南京城墙砖官窑遗址。特别是砖坯堆放地属国内同类型遗址中首次发现,意义重大,是还原明初南京城墙砖烧制工艺极为珍贵的物质文化遗产,与砖窑、古道路遗址等,共同构成了较为完整的南京城墙砖生产供应链。
