2016年4~7月对炭河里遗址新屋湾地点的发掘,发现西周、东周和六朝时期遗存。以西周时期遗存最丰富,遗迹主要为灰坑,出土遗物有陶器、硬陶器、铜器、石器等,与炭河里城址出土遗物相近,年代在西周早中期。这些发现有助于进一步研究炭河里文化的年代与分期,以及黄材盆地商周时期的文化序列与聚落变迁。

From April to July 2016,the Hunan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and others conducted excavations at the Xinwuwan locus of the Tanheli site in Ningxiang City,Hunan Province,and discovered cultural remains dating at the Western and Eastern Zhou and the Six Dynasties periods.Amongst them,Western Zhou period remains were most abundant,including features such as midden pits,ditches,and post holes,along with artifacts made of pottery,stoneware,bronze,and stone,etc.,similar to unearthed artifacts from the Tanheli city site,thus dated to the early to middle Western Zhou period.Eastern Zhou period remains were predominated by Chu culture pottery such as li tripods,basins,dou stemmed vessels,and jars,dating to the early to middle Warring States period.Six Dynasties period remains mainly consisted of stoneware jars,pottery basins,and other types of artifacts dating to the Sun Wu period.These discoveries provide important material for further researching the chronology and periodization of the Tanheli culture and exploring issues such as cultural sequence and settlement transformation during the Shang and Zhou periods in the Huangcai Basin.
