余湾墓地位于湖北省荆门市沙洋县曾集镇雷都村,2016年11月至2017年3月,四川大学历史文化学院等单位在此共发掘楚墓57座,本文选取其中9座予以介绍。墓葬均为竖穴土坑墓,年代从春秋晚期延续至战国中期晚段。随葬品以陶容器为主,包括仿铜陶礼器和日用陶器两大类,其中M25所出之具有越文化特征的硬陶罐在江陵地区发现不多。铜器包括剑、戈、矛、箭镞、斧、削刀等。这批墓葬为研究江陵地区楚墓、楚文化及其与周边地区文化交流等提供了新的实物资料。

The Yuwan cemetery is located in the Leidu village of Zengji Township,Shayang County of Jingmen City,Hubei Province.From November 2016 to March 2017,the School of History and Cultures of Sichuan University led archaeological excavations at the Yuwan cemetery,revealing 57 tombs of the Chu State.The present paper reports nine of these tombs,all being vertical earthen pit tombs and dated between the late Spring and Autumn and middle Warring States period.Grave goods are dominated by pottery containers,including utilitarian vessels and those in imitation of ritualized bronze vessels.What seems special are the hard pottery unearthed from tomb M25,which show features of the Yue Culture barely seen in the Jiangling region.Bronze artifacts include sword,dagger-axe,spear,arrowhead,axe,and sharpener.These tombs and their associated artifactual assemblages provide materials for studying the Chu tombs in the Jiangling region,the Chu Culture,as well as the cultural interactions between Jiangling and its neighbors.
