郑州商城新发现的几座商墓

Excavation of Several Shang Tombs at the Shangcheng Site,Zhengzhou

河南郑州商城遗址自20世纪50年代发现以来,不断有新的考古发现。近年来又发现了一些商墓,分布在城内和城内宫殿区,也有的在西城墙处及内外城之间地带,其葬俗和随葬器物各不相同。如有的墓葬以随葬青铜器为主,个别墓葬以随葬陶器为主。其中一座属中型贵族墓的葬式较为特殊,墓主及陪葬者均为俯身葬,是以往发现的郑州商代墓葬中所未见的。

The Shangcheng site was discovered in the 1950s,and new discoveries have been reported continuously from there in the past decades. Some tombs of the Shang dynasty were found recently within the city, especially within the palatial district and also at the western city wall and somewhere between the inner and outer cities.Funerary practices and objects vary with tombs.Some tombs yielded more bronzes and some more pottery. Mention should be made of a medium-sized tomb, whose occupants and human victims were all found in a prone posture.
