Brief Report on the 2015-2019 Excavation of the Bronze Casting Workshop Site at the Huanbei Shang City in Anyang City,Henan

2014年开始,我队重启洹北商城调查与发掘,重点关注洹北商城都邑布局与内涵,对以前调查发现的重要遗存进行复查。通过钻探与发掘,了解这些遗存的形制、规模、年代与性质等,从而判断这些遗存与洹北商城的关系。截至2019年冬,已连续工作六年,取得了重要收获(图一;图二)。

Five excavations of a bronze casting workshop site were conducted consecutively by the Anyang working team,Institute of Archaeology,CASS at the Huanbei Shang City Site from 2015-2019.A variety of archaeological features were discovered,ranging from foundations built from loess dolls and rammed earth,a bronze melting and casting area,a refuse area,sacrifi cial pits,midden pits,wells,and hoards to burials.Many artifacts related to metallurgy were also unearthed,including pottery molds,models,cores,bellow nozzles,slag,furnace fragments,charcoal,bone gravers,and whetstones.The discovery of this bronze casting workshop site is of great value for the study of the Huanbei Shang city layout,the operation and management of bronze casting,technological transmission,and other questions.Bronze casting technology at Huanbei Shang City was still in its early stages of development,but it laid a solid foundation for the later fl ourishing of bronze civilization at Yinxu.
