湖北宜城袁家湾遗址发掘简报

Excavation Report on the Yuanjiawan Site in Yicheng City,Hubei

2016年11月至2017年3月,为配合蒙华铁路工程建设,湖北省文物考古研究所组织人员在工程涉及范围内对宜城袁家湾遗址进行了抢救性发掘。遗址中新石器时代遗存破坏较严重,共清理房址4座,灰坑4个,出土物较少,以红陶为主,纹饰基本均为素面,典型器物组合有盆形鼎、仰折凹沿罐、敛口深腹瓮等,综合考虑其文化内涵应为鄂西北地区朱家台文化晚期遗存。战国墓葬22座,出土遗物以日用陶器组合为主,仅一座墓出土仿铜陶礼器组合,年代当为战国中晚期,墓葬规模较小,推定墓主身份为一般平民。汉代墓葬3座,出土陶器器物组合较为典型,年代跨度从西汉早期至晚期。通过本次发掘,一方面丰富了该地区新石器时代晚期的文化面貌,同时也充实了其战、汉时期小型墓葬的实物资料。

To cooperate with the construction of the Menghua Railway,the Hubei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research conducted from November 2016 to March 2017 a rescue excavation of the Yuanjiawan site in Yicheng,of which the Neolithic items were seriously damaged.Four houses and four ash pits were found with only a few objects unearthed,mainly red plain potteries like ding,guan and weng of the late Zhujiatai culture in Northwest Hubei.22 Warring States period tombs were excavated,from which potteries for daily use were unearthed.Considering the fact that only one set of ritual potteries imitating bronzes were found,we can tell that tomb owners were ordinary civilians.Three Han dynasty tombs were also cleaned up with the finding of typical pottery sets.The excavation enriches the late Neolithic cultural significance of the area and provides new physical materials to the study of small tombs of the Warring States period and Han dynasty.
