陕西西安老牛坡遗址2010年商代墓葬发掘简报

Preliminary Report on the Excavation of Shang-Period Burials at the Laoniupo Site in Xi’an in 2010

2010年11月,为配合西安至商洛段高速公路建设,陕西省考古研究院对老牛坡遗址路段发现的夏商文化遗址进行了考古发掘。本次共发掘商代墓葬22座,以长方形竖穴土坑墓为主,整体保存情况较差,随葬器物主要有鬲、豆、罐、缸等。随葬陶器具有较浓的地方文化因素,为研究陕西商代考古学文化及与周边同期文化的交流提供了重要资料。

The Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology conducted a salvage archaeological excavation at the Laoniupo site for the highway construction project(the Xi’an-Shangluo section of the Hu-Shang highway)in 2010 and discovered remains dating to the Xia and Shang periods.A total of 22 tombs dating to the Shang period were also found.All of them were rectangular shaft-pit tombs.Whilst most of them were poorly preserved,they have yielded artifacts including li tripods,dou stemmed plates,guan pots,and gang vessels.Typologically these burials can be dated to the Late Shang period.The majority of ceramics belong to the typical Shang culture,whereas a few of them represent a local tradition.This new discovery provides new data for studying the archaeological culture during the Shang period in the region and its interaction with contemporary archaeological cultures in the neighboring regions.
