蒙古国发现的古代回鹘陵墓

蒙古国境内保存有众多四方形遗址,多见于鄂尔浑河谷,蒙古国与中国考古人员对靠近回鹘汗国首都哈拉巴拉哈逊的后杭爱省浩腾特苏木的四方形遗址进行了考古发掘,发掘了其中的六座四方形遗址,即乌布尔哈布其勒3、5号遗址,胡拉哈1号遗址,浑地壕赖3、5、6号遗址。通过墓葬的一些建筑元素如砖、瓦、装饰用黏土块、陶罐、骨箭头和铜箭镞、陶锭、木头等,尤其是墓内所出突厥卢尼文铭文,可以确定这些四方形遗址的时间范围当在7-9世纪,即漠北回鹘之物,不是一般百姓的墓葬,而应为回鹘皇室的陵墓。墓区同时还存在早期的匈奴墓和晚期的蒙古墓葬。     

On an Inscribed Stone Coffin-Lid in the Ancient Cemetery of the Temple Church,London

Excavations at Denny Abbey, Cambridgeshire, between 1968 and 1975, concentrated on the twelfth-century church and the area to the north. They revealed a remarkable building sequence on a site which was occupied successively by Benedictine monks, Knights Templars, and Franciscan nuns. After the Dissolution, the twelfth-century church was incorporated in a farmhouse. An examination of the foundations enabled a building sequence to be suggested for the upstanding remains.     

The Emergence of Writing in the Ancient Near East

Abstract

The oldest known writing stems from Babylonia, around 3100 BC, and more than 4000 clay tablets and fragments from that period have been found in Uruk during German excavations. A fresh approach has been made finding that 85% of all texts are economic records, the remainder being the lexical texts; it is postulated that writing came into existence as a means to control the economy. The course of decipherment will be described and 700 out of the 1000 signs of the Archaic texts could be identified, possibly written in the Sumerian language. Finally the contents of the tablets, as far as they are understood, will be summarised.

Some Account of the Parish Church of Bakewell in Derbyshire,and of the Early Grave-Stones and Other Remains Discovered During the Recent Repairs

This report outlines the results of excavations carried out on the Stanwick earthworks in four different areas between 1981–86. At Forcett, area investigation recovered more of the structural plan of the north-western entrance investigated by Wheeler in 1951. Both here and in the Tofts, earlier deposits and features were recognized beneath the ramparts. Wheeler's idea that the Tofts settlement originated as a defended enclosure can no longer be sustained, and geophysical survey has indicated that its southern defences in fact follow a different line from that originally envisaged. Other excavations took place at Henah Hill, where a low bank underlies a long sequence of agricultural activity, itself sealed by the medieval ridge-and-furrow; and at Forcett Barns. The date and context of the earthworks are briefly reviewed in the light of the recent work at Stanwick. The main defensive earthworks were all probably constructed within a relatively short period around the mid first century A.D., when the long-lived settlement was at its most important.

寿县西圈发现的墓葬
