Description

墓葬,与陶鼎、陶敦、陶壶、四山纹铜镜(直径9.2、边厚0.3厘米)、铜箭镞同出,随葬器物集中置于墓底头部(南偏东),蚁鼻钱未经装裹而随葬;标本M1:3长1.8、宽1.2、厚0.4、重约1克;据鼎敦壶陶器组合及四山纹镜特征,年代属战国中期偏晚;两墓(本墓与94郴上铁M12)所出蚁鼻钱共4枚,型制相同、大小略有区别,均属"巽"字贝;郴州地处湘粤赣交界,为楚贝币分布南端,墓葬中出土蚁鼻钱较为罕见。具体地点不明,暂时理解为飞机坪郴州地区工程公司基建工地。

Tomb; found together with a pottery ding-tripod, a pottery dui vessel, a pottery hu pot, a four-mountain-pattern bronze mirror (9.2 cm diameter, 0.3 cm rim thickness), and bronze arrowheads. Grave goods were concentrated at the head end of the tomb floor (south-by-east); the ant-nose coin was not wrapped when buried. Specimen M1:3 is 1.8 cm long, 1.2 cm wide, 0.4 cm thick, and weighs about 1 g. Based on the ding-dui-hu pottery assemblage and the four-mountain mirror's features, the date is mid-to-late Warring States. The two tombs (this one and the 1994 Chenshangtie M12) together yielded 4 ant-nose coins, identical in form with only slight size variation, all inscribed "Xun." Chenzhou lies at the junction of Hunan, Guangdong, and Jiangxi, at the southern edge of the distribution of Chu cowrie-money -- ant-nose coins are comparatively rare finds in tombs here. The precise findspot is unrecorded; provisionally understood as the construction site of the Chenzhou Prefecture Engineering Company at Feijiping.
