辽宁凌源市牛河梁遗址第一地点西南建筑群发掘简报

Brief Report on the Excavation of the Southwestern Architectural Complex at No.1 Locus of the Niuheliang Site in Lingyuan City,Liaoning

牛河梁遗址位于辽宁省朝阳市建平县与凌源市交界地区,是一处由多个功能不同的遗址点组成的遗址群,遗址区面积50余平方公里"。1988年列为第三批全国重点文物保护单位,确认红山文化遗址点有16处(N1~16,图一)。

In 2017,2021 and 2022,the Institute of Archaeology,CASS et al.conducted excavations at No.1 locus of the Niuheliang site and preliminarily confirmed that nine platform foundations comprised an organically integrated whole,indicating unified planning and closely related functions.On the southwest side,platform foundation Nos.5,6,and 9 together constitute a symmetrical architectural complex centered around a passageway leading to the "Goddess Temple."This passageway,along with structurally complete drainage facilities on both sides,connect the three platform foundations.The "Goddess Temple"stands as a significant component of the southwestern architectural complex.These new archaeological discoveries have updated our understanding of the structure and layout of No.1 locus,offering fresh insights into labor organization and mobilizing capabilities,as well as the development of Hongshan society.These remains hold crucial significance for study of the origins of Chinese civilization.
