Yueyang stone culture inner ring wall. February 16th, a one day Shandong province 2013 archaeological work report will be held in Ji'nan. The reporter learned from the meeting that in many important archaeological discoveries in the year, the excavation results of the Ji'nan Zhangqiu City Zi cliff site were particularly noticeable. The discovery made up for the shortcomings of Shandong culture to yuekshi cultural Archaeology in the past few decades. According to Sun Bo, deputy director of the Archaeological Institute of Shandong Province, the trace of "
Road" was introduced by the deputy director of the Archaeological Institute of Shandong province. From the beginning of October 2013 to the middle of January this year, they first excavated the vertical middle exploration ditch excavated in the city of the city son cliff in the last century in 30s of last century, and extended 20 meters north to the north of the site. The 470 meter north-south section (350.9 meters) was discovered for important reasons.
in the north end of the ditch, Sun Bo and others discovered that the wall of the Longshan cultural period (about 4600-4000 years ago) was built in the early stage of Longshan culture, which was built in the early stage of Longshan culture, with a poor retention, about 4 meters in extant width, about 1.3 meters in residual height, and not consistent with the thickness of the rammed layer from south to north. It is surprising that the archaeologists found one place in the south of the site. The important Yueshi culture (1900- 1600 BC) rammed the foundation of the building, its construction quality is very advanced, and the quality of ramming is better. There is another main road, which contains more grains of sand. The pedestrian stampede marks are very obvious. The pavement is 50-60 centimeters and can be subdivided into five or six layers. The pavement is about 10 meters wide and the length is unknown. The south side of the road is ramming the building platform at the foregoing stone culture. It is likely that the same year was a major traffic trunk between the north and the south in the city, and the two should have a combination. Relationship. "In the past archaeological work in Shandong, whether it was Longshan culture or yuek culture, the discovery of the important signs of the architecture at that time was lacking. The discovery of the rammed and built platform foundation in Yue Shi culture helped make up for this defect, so that we can fully estimate the nature of the early City site in Shandong." Sun Bo said. In addition, a number of Zhou Dai's cultural remains were discovered, such as ash pit, cellar hole and ramming base.
there are about 10 thousand square meters of silt deposits left in the city's Cliff site. Its nature is unknown. Archaeologists dissected the strata and discovered that these silt deposits have gone through the long history of Zhou Dai, two thousand or three thousand years since the Longshan culture Yueshi culture. Through further research, the archaeologists speculate that the deposit of about 10 thousand square meters of silt may be a low-lying area of the city at that time, and the small excavation made the archaeologists more aware of their nature.
Zhou Dai stone building wall base or large building residual
in Yueshi culture rammed building site, archaeologists found a burial, breaking the base of rammed building, extremely research value. However, there were different understandings between the senior archaeologists and the time when the tomb appeared.
in this field report meeting, facing the whole province, Sun Bo and others cautiously proposed that the tomb has both the Yue and Shi culture and the commercial cultural factors, which may be the last remains of the period of the Yue stone culture at the site of the ruins of the city of Cheng Zi cliff. But there are also authoritative archaeologists in private to the reporters that this tomb is likely to be the remains of the Yue - Shi culture stage. If so, even if it is in the country, the discovery of the tomb is very rare, with a particularly important research value. After the meeting, the reporter tried to contact several archaeologists who participated in this meeting, and their attitude was more cautious. On the accumulation of Yueshi culture, archaeologists found that Zhou Dai's stone wall foundation was supposed to be a remnant of a large building.
Sun Bo, in the 30s of last century, the predecessors of archaeologists excavated this exploration ditch, limited to the development stage of the whole archaeological discipline, people have certain limitations to their understanding. Although this time is to explore the old ditch, there are not many new relics, but the rich Longshan, Yueh stone, Zhou Dai remains for them to provide a lot of information, the opportunity to use multidisciplinary technology and knowledge to carry out a comprehensive study. The archaeology also reminds them that the direction of the archaeological research of Cheng Zi cliff will be emphasized on the Longshan Culture in the future, and the research on Yueshi culture should be focused on.
city cliff of Cheng Zi cliff is located in Longshan Street 15 kilometers northeast of Zhangqiu City, Ji'nan City, located in the west of the Juye River, and Longshan four villages across the river, and the new 102 provincial roads go from west to the north of the site from the West to the East, and the southeast is close to the mountain city village. The site was first discovered in 1928, and was excavated in 30s of last century. Because of poor conditions, it was described by today's archaeologists as "looking down on the kerosene lamp". In the 90s of last century, provincial archaeology carried out archaeological excavation and research work on this site many times. It is also confirmed that the site of the black pottery period discovered in the 30s of last century is actually a Yueshi culture, and the new site of the Longshan culture has been discovered below.
in 2010, the city's Cliff site was included in the "source of Chinese civilization" project, which attracted the attention of scholars both at home and abroad. According to the reporters, there are a few places in the exploration field of "the source project of Chinese civilization", such as stone mortise sites, the temple sites and the ruins of the two Li head sites, which are in the Central Plains of China. At the end of 2011, the provincial Archaeological Institute carried out a full coverage survey on the 100 square kilometer area centered on the ruins of Cheng Zi cliff. More than 40 newly discovered sites were found, which confirmed the central position of the ruins of Cheng Zi cliff in the whole settlement group, and further clarified the scale, structure and cultural accumulation state of the city site of Cheng Zi cliff through drilling. It clears the direction of the next step of archaeology.
