长江三峡地区古代腰坑葬俗的考古研究

据考古学文化发现资料获知,三峡地区腰坑葬俗,始见于新石器时代。商代腰坑墓数量增多。战国至秦汉仍传流不断。尤其是唐宋及明代在三峡地区更是屡有发现。从鄂西、三峡地区考古发现的腰坑墓资料现象观察,其发展当是由东向西传播这么一个趋势,然后再由三峡地区继续向西南地区的四川、云南、贵州等地传播,直至今日,西南地区仍见有这种葬俗。延续历史可谓是源远流长。

Archeological Research on Ancient Tomb Custom of Yao Keng in Three Gorges Region

According to data collected in archeological discoveries, the ancient tomb custom,Yao Keng,is originated from the Neolithic Age.During the Shang Dynasty, the Warring States, and the Qin and Han Dynasties, this kind of tomb has kept on increasing and being discovered in the Three Gorges area especially during Tang,Song and Ming Dynasty. It can be concluded, on the basis of tomb dada collected archeologically in the west part of Hubei Province and Three Gorges area, that this custom has been spread from the east to the west, and has been moved on to the southwest part of China such as Si Chuan,Yun Nan,Gui Zhou province, because this special tomb custom has been found in the southwest at present. Therefore it can be asserted that this custom is really featured with a long history.
