安徽萧县金寨遗址新石器时代墓葬发掘简报

Brief Report on the Excavation of Neolithic Burials at the Jinzhai Site in Xiaoxian County,Anhui

金寨遗址位于安徽省宿州市萧县庄里镇尠沟行政村金寨自然村及周边区域,西北距萧县县城30公里,东北距江苏省徐州市35公里。遗址位于皖东北丘陵地带的山前平原,西、南、东三面环山,仅东北、西北与外界相通,西、北、东南临小河,总面积约50万平方米(图一)。20世纪50年代和80年代,村民在村子南侧挖水塘时发现较多的新石器时代玉器[1]。

From 2016 to 2018,the Anhui Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology conducted two excavations at the Jinzhai site in Xiaoxian County,uncovering a total of 53 tombs.These tombs are all pit tombs,arranged in rows,with few overlapping.Types of burials include single burials,double burials,triple burials,quadruple burials,and septuple burials,with most tombs oriented southeast.Most grave goods consist of pottery vessels such as ding tripods,dou stemmed vessels,hu flasks,jars,cups,gui pitchers,he vessels,and basins.In addition,some small jade pendants and ornaments were also discovered,including huang pendants,bi disks,ear pendants,beads,tubes,and turquoise pendants.These tombs date from the middle period to the early phase of the late period of the Dawenkou culture,and thus have significant importance for studying the formation of civilized society in the northern part of the middle Huai River region around 5000 BP,as well as the intensive exchanges of prehistoric cultures in the central-eastern regions of China.
