陕西石鼓山西周古墓14件青铜器升井 由武警押送|陕西|考古|文物_新闻资讯

　　新华网宝鸡12月28日电（记者 冯国）记者28日从陕西宝鸡石鼓山西周墓地考古发掘现场获悉，在这座正在发掘的8壁龛西周墓中，考古人员今天从8米深的墓室中成功提取出14件精美青铜器，其中包括首次出土的西周早期两件青铜簠和一件球腹簋，为商周青铜器研究及其大家庭增添了新成员。

　　陕西省考古研究院副研究员丁岩说，这座正在发掘的8壁龛西周墓属于去年因村民开挖房屋地基发现青铜器墓葬遗址的组成部分，受到口小底大的近似竖穴土坑墓圹和8米深的限制，如何在保证考古工地安全的情况下，让青铜器等珍贵文物成功“升井”是一大难题。

　　记者现场看到，在20余平方米的墓圹中密布着东西南北方向的钢管支撑，与墓口四周的钢管护栏一起，对8米深的墓壁进行了全方位加固。而墓圹正上方的钢结构屋顶，不仅防了雨雪，还成功搭建成了滑轮，从而解决了墓室中青铜器等文物的“升井”问题。

　　根据考古现场文物叠压严重的实际情况，考古队今天适时调整工作方案，主要对较易提取的东西壁各一个龛进行了清理，成功提取出青铜器鼎、簋、壶、簠、甗等14件。

　　宝鸡市考古研究所所长刘军社说，两件青铜簠一大一小，漂亮又罕见。刚开始清理出一部分时，还以为有一个小铃铛，今天完全清理出来后，发现这个小铃铛与大型青铜簠是一个整体，诚可谓匠心独具。

　　虽然一些青铜器今天已成功提取，并且由武警押送到宝鸡市某文物库房进行安全保护。但在放置间隙，专家们观察、研究器物的过程中，青铜器的锈蚀、纹饰、补丁、裂痕、铭文等问题都有涉及，让人对室内清理保护后的研究成果充满了期待。

　　主持考古发掘的陕西省考古研究院研究员王占奎说，目前，按照计划已提取了部分青铜器，但是大批青铜器等珍贵文物仍在8米深的墓室之中，可能会出现清理、提取困难等情况，只能适时调整工作方案，能提多少就是多少。

　　陕西宝鸡石鼓山西周墓已发掘11座墓，目前正在发掘的8壁龛墓葬已初步发现青铜器40多件和陶器2件，以及大量贝币、蚌饰、漆器遗存等文物。专家预计，由于此墓仍在发掘之中，其全面、具体的内容有待完全提取出文物后，才能进行深入而具体的研究。
