摘要
M168是枣树林墓地5座大型墓葬之一,共出土随葬器物123件(套),材质包括铜、陶、玉石以及铅锡等.在鼎、簋、簠、缶、编钟等青铜礼器上发现有铭文"曾侯宝",可以确认M168墓主为曾侯宝.根据随葬器物形制特征及相关铜器铭文,推测M168的年代为春秋中期早晚段之间,约为公元前650~前623年.通过墓葬考古出土器物结合被盗传世器物,可以基本推定曾侯宝墓随葬器物组合,对研究春秋中期诸侯墓葬随葬礼制提供了新材料;M168随葬器物兼具周楚文化特征,对研究曾、楚、周三者之间的文化交流与融合具有重要意义.
Abstract
M1 68 is one of the five large tombs at the Zaoshulin cemetery,with a total of 123 grave goods made of bronze,pottery,jade,lead,and tin.Inscriptions of"Zeng Hou Bao"were found on ritual bronze vessels such as ding,gui,fu,fou,and chime bells,confirming that the occupant of Tomb M168 was Marquis Bao of Zeng.Based on the characteristics of the grave goods and bronze inscriptions,we propose that the tomb M168 dates to the early to late stages of the middle Spring and Autumn period,approximately between 650 and 623 BC.Through the combination of unearthed artifacts from the burial and those known to have been looted,the composition of grave objects in M168 can be determined,which offers new materials for studying the burial customs of the vassal kings during the mid-Spring and Autumn period.The grave goods in M168 demonstrate characteristics of both Zhou and Chu cul-tures,which are important for studying cultural exchanges and integration among the Zeng,Chu,and Zhou states.
