江苏金坛唐陵元墓发掘简报

The Excavation of Yuan Tombs in Tangling,Jintan,Jiangsu

2018年12月,常州博物馆对江苏省常州市金坛区指前镇唐陵村基本建设过程中发现的3座元代砖室墓(编号2018CJTM1~2018CJTM3)进行了抢救性发掘。三墓呈“品”字形排列,相距较近,墓向皆为东南方向。墓葬保存基本完整,均为长方形竖穴土坑单室砖墓,折拱券顶,前壁中部有壁龛,砖室内置漆木棺,出土器物包括瓷器、银器、锡器、铜器、木器等。根据墓葬分布、形制及出土器物特征等判断,这三座墓葬应为同时期的家族墓,年代大致为元代中晚期。本次发掘,为研究江南地区这一时期的经济、文化、手工业水平及葬俗与历史提供了重要资料。

In December 2018,the Changzhou Museum carried out a rescue excavation of three brick-chambered tombs of the Yuan Dynasty(numbered 2018CJTM1~2018CJTM3)discovered during the capital construction in Tangling Village of Zhiqian Town in Jintan District,Changzhou City,Jiangsu Province.The three tombs are southeast-directed and closely arranged in the shape of"品".Tombs are all well-preserved,structured as a brick-built single-chamber within a rectangular vertical earthen pit.The brick chamber was built with an arched ceiling and niche in the middle of the front wall,and placed the lacquered wooden coffin within.Unearthed artifacts include wares made of porcelain,silver,tin,bronze,wood,etc.According to the distribution and structure of tombs,as well as features of artifacts,the three tombs should be family tombs of the same period,roughly in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty.The excavation offered significant materials for studying the economy,culture,handicraft industry,funeral customs,and history of the south of the Yangtze region during this period.
