一概况东陶墓地位于河南省郑州市中牟县刁家乡东陶村东(图一)。2015年10~12月,为配合基本建设,河南省文物考古研究院对该墓地进行了抢救性发掘。此次发掘共清理墓葬22座,均开口于表土层下,打破生土,开口距地表0.2~0.3米。多数墓葬被盗,但仍出土了包括铜、铁、陶器等数十件器物。现将发掘情况简报如下。

The Dongtao Cemetery is located east of Dongtao Village,Diaojia Township,Zhongmu County,Zhengzhou City,Henan Province.In the winter of 2015,the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology excavated 22 tombs in the cemetery,including vertical earthen shaft pit tombs and vertical earthen pit brick chamber tombs.According to features of the unearthed artifacts(pottery,bronzes,ironware,etc.),these tombs extended from the early to the late Western Han Dynasty.The cemetery enriches the Han Dynasty remains found in the Zhongmu area and provides new materials for studying the history and culture of Zhongmu during the Western Han period.These new materials,combined with materials collected from other Han tombs,show that the Zhongmu and Zhengzhou areas belonged to the same cultural zone during the Western Han period but had some distinctions in specific cultural characteristics.The Western Han archaeological culture in the Zhengzhou area was synthesized by local culture and the Guanzhong Qin culture of the Warring States period.
