青海省治多县普卡贡玛石棺墓发掘简报

Report on the Excavation of the Cist Burials at the Pukar Gongma Site, ’Bri stod County, Qinghai Province

2013年,青海玉树州联合考古队对治多县普卡贡玛石棺墓群进行了发掘,此次发掘共清理石棺墓9座,出土青铜器、陶器、石器、骨器以及玛瑙珠等大小遗物1000余件(颗)。本次发掘是青海南部高原地区首次科学发掘石棺墓,其中东区墓葬的整体年代可能为春秋中晚期;西区墓葬的年代可能为战国偏晚阶段,下限或可入汉。这批石棺墓的发现揭示了青海南部高原地区与藏东、川西高原以及河湟地区紧密的文化联系。

In 2013, a cooperative archaeological team carried out an excavation in the site of Pukar Gongma, 'Bri stod county of Qinghai province. Nine cist burials were unearthed. More than one thousand relics were brought to light: pottery vessels, stone implements, bronze objects and ornaments made of agate, etc. It was the first systematic excavation of the stone cist burials in the southern Qinghai Plateau. The date of the east section of this cemetery can be possibly dated back to the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period;the tombs on the western section of this site might be dated to the late Warring States period, and the latest might possibly belong to the Han dynasty. The findings of these cist burials reveal its close relation with eastern Tibet and west Sichuan Plateau.
