江苏兴化蒋庄遗址良渚文化高等级墓葬发掘简报

Excavation of the High-Grade Liangzhu Tombs at the Jiangzhuang Site in Xinghua,Jiangsu Province

2011—2016年,南京博物院先后两次对兴化蒋庄遗址进行考古发掘,完整揭露良渚文化墓地一处,共清理墓葬284座。其中10座墓葬随葬琮、璧等玉质礼器,为高等级墓葬,集中分布在墓地南部。这批高等级墓葬所出玉琮、璧与以寺墩遗址为代表的太湖北部良渚文化贵族大墓所出形制相同,年代相当于良渚文化中晚期。蒋庄遗址良渚文化高等级墓葬的发现对于研究江淮东部地区良渚文化的社会组织结构、丧葬习俗、精神信仰,及其与良渚文化核心区之间的互动关系等问题均具有重要价值。

From 2011 to 2016,Nanjing Museum conducted two archaeological excavations at the Jiangzhuang Site in Xinghua,Jiangsu province,which revealed a Liangzhu Culture cemetery.The cemetery contained a total of 284 tombs.Ten of them,which were mainly located in the south of the cemetery,were high-grade tombs buried with jade ritual wares such as the cong and bi.These cong and bi were in similar forms as those unearthed from the Liangzhu noble tombs located in the north of the Taihu Lake as represented by the Sidun Site.They were dated to the middle and late of the Liangzhu Culture.The discovery of these high-grade Liangzhu noble tombs at the Jiangzhuang Site is of great significance to the study of the organizational structure,funeral customs,and spiritual beliefs of the Liangzhu societies in east Jianghuai area,as well as the exchanges between Jiangzhuang Site with other core areas of Liangzhu Culture.
