河南辉县赵庄墓地东汉墓发掘简报

Excavation Report on the Eastern Han Tombs in Zhaozhuang Cemetery of Huixian City,Henan

2006年8月至2007年1月,为配合南水北调中线工程,宁夏文物考古研究所对位于辉县市东约3公里的赵庄墓地进行了勘探、发掘工作,清理了汉至清代墓葬140座,其中汉代墓葬22座。本文介绍的4座东汉墓葬保存相对较好,分布较为集中,M41、M51、M50由早及晚自西向东一字排列,M43位于M41、M51北部,墓向一致、排列有序,形制及出土器物具中原地区东汉中晚期特征,应属相互关系较为密切的家族墓。特别是M43因墓室早期塌陷保存较为完整,该墓葬为土洞墓,具横前堂、双后室及侧室,多墓室的墓葬结构使家族多人合葬成为了可能,从发掘情况分析,先后至少三次下葬,合葬四人,反映了东汉中期以来从夫妻合葬到家族同穴合葬的转变。这批墓葬的发掘,对探讨豫北地区汉代家族葬制有着重要的意义。

To cooperate with the Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Diversion,the Ningxia Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology conducted from August 2006 to January 2007 the exploration and excavation of the Zhaozhuang Cemetery which is located about three kilometers east of Huixian City.140 tombs dated from the Han dynasty to the Qing dynasty were cleaned up,including 22 Han dynasty tombs.Among them,the four Eastern Han tombs introduced in this paper are relatively well preserved and distributed intensively.The tombs M41,M51 and M50 line up from west to east and face the same direction,which suggests that the tombs are family tombs and closely related to each other.The M43 is relatively intact and consists of transverse anterior chamber,double posterior chambers and lateral chambers.The structure makes it possible for family members to be buried together.Analysis shows that at least three burials occurred there and four people were buried,which reflects the transition from husband and wife burial to family burial in the same grave since the middle of the Eastern Han dynasty.The excavation of these tombs is of great significance to the study of the Han Dynasty family burial custom in northern Henan province.
