摘要
The Liye city-site lies at Liye Town in Longshan County, Hunan Province, and goes back to the time from the mid Warring States period to the Western Han Dynasty. In April-November 2002, the Hunan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and other institutions carried out there a large-scale excavation, which brought to light the rough layout of an ancient city and cultural deposits of different periods within the city. The No.1 well discovered in the city yielded over 36,000 slips and tablets inscribed with texts in more than 100,000 characters, mostly dated definitely. Being official documents in content, they involve many aspects of social life. This discovery made up a great shortage in historical source, and has important value to studying the history of the Qin Dynasty and ancient China's nationalities. In addition, the Liye pottery of the Warring States period to the Western Han offered a scale to the chronological study of archaeological cultures in this area.
