ABSTRACT: In August 2008, survey and coring tests were conducted to Xiawanggang Site at Xichuan County, Henan Province, which confirmed that the preserved part of this site was about 1 halarge. During September through December 2008, excavations were conducted on the north and south sides of the area excavated in the 1970s, uncovering 1100 sq m in total, within which 48 ash pits of the Western Zhou Dynasty were recovered, and 11 of them were typical ones. Most of the ash pits were dug in regular shapes, mainly circular or oval. The unearthed potteries included Li-cauldrons, jars, basins,jugs, pots, Yan-steamers, Dou-stemmed bowls, etc. This term of excavations yielded plentiful physica materials for the researches on local culture and the cultures in the Danjiang and Xi River Valleys at the Western Zhou Period and important clues for the explorations to the origins, features and distribution of the early Chu Culture.
下王岗遗址位于河南省南阳市淅川县盛湾镇河扒村东北,东北距淅川县城35公里。该遗址现处于丹江水库库区内,东、北、西三面为丹江环绕(图一)。1971~1974年,河南省博物馆文物工作队、长江流域规划办公室文物考古队河南分队对下王岗遗址进行了大规模的发掘,发掘面积2309平方米,发现了仰韶文化、屈家岭文化、龙山文化、二里头文化等不同时期丰富的考古学文化遗存[1]。
2008年8月,中国社会科学院考古研究所山西队承担了河南省南水北调文物保护项目淅川下王岗遗址的钻探与发掘任务。经调查钻探,发现下王岗遗址现存面积约10000平方米。第一季度发掘从2008年9月底开始,至12月底告一段落。发掘地点选在20世纪70年代发掘区的南北两侧,其中在北侧布10米×10米探方6个,在南侧布10米×10米探方5个,揭露面积共计1100平方米。发掘取得重要收获,因系统整理和发掘工作尚未彻底结束,现仅将发掘的部分西周时期遗存简报如下。
