The Puchengdian Site in Pingdingshan: Two Ancient City Ruins Discovered
平顶山蒲城店遗址:续写“远古双城记”
Located in the north of Puchengdian village of Pingdingshan city, Henan province, the Puchengdian Site with rich cultural relics and area of some 200 thousand square meters was discovered in the 1950s and listed as one of the first batch of provincial key cultural relics in 1963. From 2004 to 2005, because of the Lankao-Nanyang Expressway construction, the Puchengdian Site was excavated for protection purpose. Particularly, two city ruins of the late Longshan Culture period and the Xinzhai Phase (or the transition period from the Longshan Culture to the Erlitou Culture) were discovered. The one of the early Erlitou Culture was rarely found in China at that time, so it should be one of the earliest discoveries of its kind then.
蒲城店遗址,位于平顶山市卫东区东高皇乡蒲城店村北,遗址面积约20万平方米,文化遗存十分丰富,于上世纪50年代末发现,1963年被列为河南省文物保护单位。2004年到2005年,因为配合兰(考)南(阳)高速公路平顶山连接线建设工程的文物保护工作,对这个遗址进行了发掘,最主要的收获是发现了龙山文化晚期和龙山向二里头文化过渡时期的两座城址。尤其是二里头早期或者过渡期的城址,当时在全国发现还很少,应该是当时最早发现的城址之一。
The remains of houses, trenches, ash pits, tombs, wells, cooking benches, etc. Another important discovery is the row house remains of the early Erlitou Culture period. Orderly arranged, the row houses, in large numbers, cover a broad area, which explains why they are important. The remains of more than 20 row houses (each with 1 to 6 rooms) were discovered in an area of more than 170 meters in length and 20 meters in width, reflecting the social transformation from group life in a primitive society to family life in a slave society. The Puchengdian Site is of great value to study the features of the late Neolithic Age and the early Erlitou Culture period in Central and South Henan, so it was listed among the sixth batch of national key cultural relics in 2006.
遗址中发现有房址、壕沟、灰坑、墓葬、水井灶等遗迹。其中二里头文化早期的房址最为重要,其面积大、数量多、排列有序,在长170多米、宽20米的范围内发现20余处房址,房间1-6间不等,反映从原始社会的群居生活到奴隶制社会一家一户生活的转变,对于研究豫中南地区新石器时代晚期及二里头文化早期的文化面貌具有特别重要的价值。2006年,蒲城店遗址被列为全国重点文物保护单位。
Henan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology has carried out archaeological investigations in the Shahe River basin, hoping to gain a deep understanding of the cultural implications of the site with the remains of the two cities and other cultural relics. Now, the systematic investigation is underway.
为了做好夏文化研究工作,更深入地了解两座城以及遗址、认识遗址的文化内涵,河南省文物考古研究院启动了沙河流域考古调查,对蒲城店遗址的进一步系统勘探工作正在进行。
Major discoveries include the remains of the two cities and more than 20 row houses.
