夏代水井的考古发现与研究

An Archaeological Study on the Well of Xia Dynasty

夏代水井集中分布在郑洛地区。水井以无井圈的土井为主,井口多见长方形。多分布在居址附近,为人类提供生活用水。少量分布在手工业作坊附近,为手工业提供生产用水。二里头遗址水井内出土陶器以罐类为主,结合典型单位水井的使用堆积和废弃堆积特征,推断这些罐类可能是汲水工具。

The well of Xia Dynasty are concentrated in the Zhengluo area.Most wells have no walling crib.The mouth of a well is mostly rectangular.The wells are mostly distributed near the settlement to provide domestic water for humans.A small amount of wells is distributed near the handicraft workshop to provide water for the handicraft industry.The pottery excavated in the well of Erlitou site is mainly jars.Combined with the use of stacked and abandoned accumulation characteristics of typical unit wells,it is inferred that these jars may be a drowning tools.
