安徽含山县凌家滩遗址新石器时代墓葬的清理

Brief Report on the Excavation of the Neolithic Burials at the Lingjiatan Site in Hanshan County,Anhui

凌家滩遗址位于安徽含山县铜闸镇长岗村(图一)。1985年由于村民葬坟而发现,县文物部门后来征集了一批新石器时代遗物。1987年安徽省文物考古研究所试掘后确认此处为新石器时代的高等级墓地,到2007年为止对该墓地共进行了五次发掘,取得了重要收获。随着凌家滩国家考古遗址公园“墓葬-祭祀区展示工程”的建设,到2016年底此处绝大多数现代坟都已在文物部门现场监督下陆续迁出,因首次挖出新石器时代玉器的现代坟(万氏坟)所葬之处正是墓地的核心位置.

A rescue excavation of the lower layer of a modern tomb(Family Wan’s tomb),where a batch of jade objects was fi rst discovered,was conducted by the Lingjiatan site archaeological team at the end of 2016.More than 50 jade and stone objects were retrieved,ranging from jade human heads,huang jade pendants,jue jade discs,jade rings,and yue stone ceremonial axes and stone adzes,to a small number of pottery vessels,including high stemmed vessels dou and pitchers with slender necks.A broken piece of a jade kneeling fi gure was also discovered in the backfi ll of a corner of the tomb pit.This excavation is of great importance for furthering the understanding of cultural interaction among the Lingjiatan,Hongshan,and Liangzhu.
