Through the continuous efforts and the hard working by generations of archaeologists in the past fifty years,the archaeological works have covered with the excavations and investigations of the pre-dynastic Qin capital city-Yongcheng and the imperial mausoleums,the Qin capital city-Xianyang and Xianyang Palace,the Mausoleum of Qinshihuang and the Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses,the Han capital city-Chang’an and its royal Palaces,the eleven Mausoleums of the Western Han (especially the Yangling Mausoleum and Duling Mausoleum) and other Qin-Han remains in the Shaanxi Province (such as the Great Wall,the A-Pang Palace,the carved painting Han tombs,etc.),providing important material evidence and disclosing a splendid culture in the Qin and Han Dynasties. This article is a synthesis on the archaeological discoveries in Shaanxi Province during past fifty years,which can be divided into four parts,the discoveries and researches of the capitals and urban centres,the discoveries and researches of the Mausoleums,the excavations and researches of the medium and small-sized burials and other discoveries. It is worth to be mentioned here that this article almost cites all published articles,excavation reports and books.展开更多

Among which,several projects have made remarkable achievements which need to be especially mentioned here. The investigation and excavation at the Tuolinsi Temple and Sajiasi Temple in Tibet provide important material evidence to the study of the Guge Kingdom and the history of Tibetan Buddhism. The archaeological excavation at Xigong site and Batougu site in Hong Kong are crucial to the reconstruction of Neolithic chronological framework and to the understanding of the cultural characteristics in Bronze Age Hong Kong. The excavation at Tangfangpin site in the Three Gorges fills a gap to the study of early Xiajiang culture and is academically meaningful to the research of the evolution of Ba culture and cultural exchange between the Zhongyuan (The Central Plain) and Southeastern China during the Xia-Shang periods. The excavation of Yili site in Vietnam is important to the understanding of the Early Bronze Age Vietnam,and also indicates a potential exchange between Vietnam and Southwest China. The investigation of the Pre-Qin remains and the excavation of Dabaozishan in Lixian,Gansu Province provides important clues for the understanding of assimilation of ’Zhou’ and ’Qin’ cultures,to the study of the rising of Qin-clan,to the status of the Xishan cemetery and the nature of Dabaozishan walled-urban centre.展开更多
