2016年9月至2017年9月,为配合新疆昌吉州阜康市抽水蓄能电站项目建设,新疆文物考古研究所会同新疆博物馆对工程涉及的阜康市白杨河上游墓群进行了抢救性发掘,共清理墓葬85座、遗址2处,出土器物200余件(组)。现将发掘情况简报如下。

A rescue excavation was carried out by the cooperative team between the Xinjiang Institute of Archaeology and the Xinjiang Autonomous Museum on the tombs at the upper reaches of the Baiyanghe River in Fukang City from September 2016 to September 2017.It shed light on 85 tombs and 2 other remains.More than 200 objects were discovered.The tombs comprised several types,including stone coffin tombs,earthen shaft tombs,stone chamber shaft tombs,side chamber shaft tombs,and cave chamber shaft tombs.They date from the Late Bronze Age to the Jin and Tang Dynasties.A stone structure and a fire pit were also found within the cemetery.On the terrace that the tombs were located,some rock paintings were found with a clearly nomadic cultural signature.The excavation of the tombs is significant for revealing the historical trajectory of the Baiyanghe basin and constructing the archaeological sequence at the northern foot of the Bogeda mountain.
