汉阳陵帝陵陵园第14号外藏坑动物遗存研究

Analysis of Faunal Remains from the Burial Pit No.14 in the Yangling Mausoleum

本文通过对汉景帝阳陵第14号外藏坑内动物遗存的种属、数量、年龄结构、摆放位置和性质等问题进行分析研究,推测这些随葬动物反映了汉景帝生前的肉食资源。此外,结合第13号、第16号外藏坑出土的陶塑及动物遗存,认为目前阳陵已发现外藏坑内的动物遗存反映出帝王阶层的肉食种类与结构。这些动物多数可能被饲养于上林苑中,海产品则可能是进贡或贸易而来。与汉代其他帝后陵相比,汉阳陵帝陵陵园动物外藏坑性质明确,与"太官"有关。相较于王侯墓,显示出阶层差异,是帝王最高权力与地位的体现。

This paper presents the analytical results of sacrificial animal remains from burial pit no. 14 in the Yangling mausoleum with regard to the taxa, individual numbers, age profiles, burying positions, and their nature. The authors propose that the animal remains reflected in general the meat consumptions by Emperor Jing. Animal remains from other burial pits also reflect the type and structure of meat consumption by the royal or elite houses. The majority of livestock might have been raised in the Shanglin yuan royal garden, while marine animals should be tributed or acquired through exchange. The Yangling mausoleum was the embodiment of the emperor’s supreme ranks and authority, and therefore, shows more pronounced hierarchical differences in comparison with other King’s tombs.
