山西大学东山校区元代壁画墓发掘简报

The Excavation of Mural Tombs of the Yuan Dynasty in the Dongshan Campus of Shanxi University

2017年6~9月,为配合山西大学东山校区建设,山西大学历史文化学院考古系等对校区内勘探发现的20余座墓葬进行了发掘。其中元墓2座(编号M15、M24),两墓东西相邻,均为仿木结构多边形砖室壁画墓。M15壁画保存较好,有屏风、花卉等题材。出土器物以瓷器为主,有白釉玉壶春瓶、茶叶末釉罐、天青釉碗、白瓷盏等。M15出土20余枚铜钱,年代最晚的为元“至大通宝”。综合判断,墓葬年代为元代中晚期。从出土瓷器的底部墨书推测,墓主姓“张”。M15墓道内出土1件石供台,为太原地区首见。两墓的发掘进一步丰富了太原地区元代墓葬资料。

From June to September 2017, the Department of Archaeology in the School of History and Culture of Shanxi University and others excavated over 20 tombs that were discovered during the construction surveying of the Dongshan campus of Shanxi university. Two tombs of the Yuan dynasty( M15 and M24), east-west adjacent, are polygonal brick-chambered with imitation wood structures and murals. In M15, murals are well-preserved and themed in screen and flowers;the majority of unearthed artifacts are porcelain, including the white glazed Yuhuchun vase, tea-dust glazed jar, sky-blue glazed bowl,white porcelain tea bowl, etc. More than 20 copper cash coins were found in M15, the latest one with inscriptions “Zhi Da Tong Bao” was circulated in the Yuan dynasty, from which determined the tomb age was the mid-to-late Yuan dynasty. Moreover, it can be speculated from the ink writing at the bottom of unearthed porcelain that the surname of the tomb occupant is “ Zhang”.Also, the stone altar table in the tomb passage of M15 was found for the first time in the Taiyuan area. Overall, the discovery of the two tombs further enriched the materials of the Yuan tombs in this area.
