Abstract
AbstractIn the years 2014 and 2015, the Joint Excavation Team at Zhouyuan conducted excavations of the rammed-earth foundations in the northern area of Hejia Village, a residential-burial area, a chariot-and-horse pit and a horse pit centered by the Fengchu palace complex, as well as five ponds and canals in a water reticulation system. The artifacts found in the rammed-earth foundations include golden foil objects, turquoise pieces, protoporcelain artifacts, lacquer objects, jades and cowry shells. The features found in the residential-burial area include burials, ash pits and house foundations, and these features contained artifacts such as bronzes, pottery and proto-porcelain vessels, jades, stone implements and lacquer objects. The excavations of the five ponds and canals in the water reticulation system and the previous fieldwork results showed that there was a well-planned water reticulation system consisting of the natural river system and an artificial canal system including water ponds, headwater canals, trunk canals and branch canals of different levels at the Zhouyuan Site.
