张家洼遗址位于河北省涞水县明义镇以张家洼村为中心的区域,北距涞水县城约9公里。晚清时期,传闻在此地出土了“北伯”诸器,王国维曾撰写《北伯鼎跋》。1984年第二次全国文物普查时发现并确定了该遗址。1985年,拒马河考古队对遗址进行了调查[1]。1987年,保北考古队复查遗址,并在北封村东进行了试掘[2]。

From 2021 to 2022,the Institute of Archaeology at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences et al.conducted archaeological excavation at the Zhangjiawa site,uncovering abundant early Western Zhou period remains.Uncovered features mainly include midden pits and animal sacrifice pits,in addition to artifacts made of pottery,bronze,stone,as well as bone,antler,and tusk.Remains are predominantly attributed to the Upper Zhangjiayuan culture,followed by those of ex-subjects of Yin,with typical Zhou cultural remains being relatively scarce.On a terrace in the northeastern part of the site,11 tombs characterized by noticeable local burial customs were discovered,belonging to the Upper Zhangjiayuan culture.The diverse cultural appearance of the remains reflects the complex composition of the population at the time.Excavation of this site provides new evidence for understanding the early Western Zhou cultural landscape on the northern edge of the North China Plain,the enfeoffment of clans,population migration,and differences in settlement patterns among indigenous populations during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
