摘要
西吴壁遗址位于山西绛县古绛镇西吴壁村南,地处涑水河北岸的黄土台地上,南距中条山约6公里(图一)。遗址地势东北高、西南低,东、南部的大冲沟20世纪曾有泉水,向西南流向涑水河(图二)。西吴壁遗址总面积约110万平方米。中国国家博物馆等单位于21世纪初在运城盆地开展了区域系统调查,发现多处与冶铜有关的遗址,西吴壁是其中规模较大,冶铜遗存较为丰富的一处[1]。
A series of excavations were conducted at Xiwubi site during the 2018-2019 season,yielding abundant copper metallurgy remains dating to the Erlitou and Erligang cultural periods.Archaeological features include remains of smelting furnaces,charcoal kilns,houses and midden pits.A variety of artifacts were retrieved,ranging from copper ores,fragments of smelting furnaces,crucibles,and slag to objects made of pottery,stone and bone.It is the fi rst copper metallurgy site found in the Zhongtiao Mountains in the vicinity of the heartland of the Xia and Shang dynasties.Characterized by early dates,large scale,and advanced specialization in copper metallurgy,the Xiwubi site excavation provides substantial materials for the study of mining and use of copper ore resources by the Xia and Shang dynasties,as well as interactions between copper metallurgy and the fate of the royal courts.
