雙語說河南丨二裡頭遺址新發現骨器角器加工作坊

New archaeological discoveries at the Erlitou Site in Luoyang city of Henan province show that several pits with bone and horn remains have been discovered near the southwest corner of the site's imperial city area, believed to be the workshops for bone and horn implements during the late Erlitou Culture period (around 1735-1530 BC), even used until the early Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BC), said a source from the archaeological team on December 9. Such findings consolidate not only the process and techniques of making bone and horn implements of the Erlitou Culture period, but also the layout and planning of the site.

12月9日，記者從二裡頭考古工作隊獲悉，二裡頭遺址考古又有了新發現，在遺址宮城區的西南角附近清理出多座骨料、角料坑，考古人員認為，這是二裡頭文化晚期的骨器、角器加工作坊，且可能延續使用至商早期。這一發現為研究二裡頭文化骨器、角器的加工流程、加工工藝、城市布局、規劃理念等提供了重要資料。

To the east of these workshops lies a round pit with a large number of shells spread in it. Besides, animal limb bones, deer horns and some semi-finished items similar to hairpins, awls and arrowheads were found scattered around the pit. At the center and west of these workshops, archaeologists also excavated a large area of such remains, including different animals' limb bones, ribs, horns, teeth and some large pottery pieces.

據了解，新發現的骨器、角器加工作坊區東側，有一座圓形坑，坑内側壁及底部鋪有大量螺殼，周邊散落着動物的肢骨、鹿角以及一些類似骨簪、骨錐、骨镞的骨器、角器半成品。在制骨作坊區中部和西側，考古人員也清理出一大片骨料遺存，各類動物肢骨、肋骨、角骨、齒骨和一些較大的陶片等散落在遺址文化層上。

According to Zhao Haitao, head of the Erlitou archaeological team of the Archaeology Institute of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a number of workshops for processing bones and horns had been identified over the past more than 6 decades, but the newly discovered workshops are debut to comprehensively display the processing of bones and horns at that time.

中國社會科學院考古研究所二裡頭工作隊隊長趙海濤介紹，二裡頭遺址發現60多年來，曾認定一些加工骨器、角器的作坊，新發現的作坊是二裡頭遺址首次全面詳細地展示加工骨器、角器的發掘現場。
