Three Eastern Zhou Tombs at the Houjiatai Cemetery in Xinzheng City, Henan

2014~2015年,为配合新郑市的城市建设,河南省文物考古研究院在新郑市城关乡乔庄村侯家台自然村南苑小区发掘点(图一),清理古墓葬1200余座,其中以东周墓葬为主,数量超过1000座(图二)。这批东周墓葬,年代从春秋早期延续到战国晚期,涵盖了东周时期的各个阶段,尤以春秋中晚期墓葬居多。东周墓葬以竖穴土坑墓为主,葬具多寡不一,两椁一棺、一椁一棺、单棺和无椁无棺均有发现。

The Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Heritage and Archaeology revealed more than 1,200 ancient tombs at the Houjiatai cemetery in Xinzheng from 2014-2015,out of which more than 20 Eastern Zhou tombs yielded bronze vessels.Amongst these tombs buried with bronzes,tombs No.277,338,and 606,dating to the late Spring and Autumn through the early Warring States,contained a variety of burial goods,including bronze vessels,artifacts made of pottery and jade,as well as weaponry,etc.These mortuary data are of great significance for discussing the chronology of bronzes,funerary culture,and the development of hot-forged thinwalled bronzes in the State of Zheng.
