Description

不明,1981年3月15日挖土修路时于遗址西北角土台上掘出一小陶罐,罐内盛满铜蚁鼻钱约430余枚、铜圆钱3枚(腐蚀过甚无法识别是否有币文)、铜箭镞16枚,共450余件(估计还有失散于民工手中未收集者);蚁鼻钱一面平直一面阴文,均为"巽"字;钱币上可见麻布腐朽痕迹,疑先装入麻布袋内再置于陶罐中;土台上另遗留有汉代残砖瓦和周代鬲足、豆把等遗物。

Context unknown. On 15 March 1981, while digging earth for road repair, a small pottery jar was unearthed on a mound at the northwest corner of the site, containing about 430-odd bronze ant-nose coins, 3 bronze round coins (too corroded to identify any inscription), and 16 bronze arrowheads -- over 450 pieces in total (with more presumably dispersed among the laborers and never collected). The ant-nose coins are flat on one side and bear an incised character on the other, all reading "Xun"; traces of decayed hemp cloth are visible on the coins, suggesting they were first placed in a hemp sack before being put into the jar. Han-dynasty fragmentary bricks and tiles, and Zhou-dynasty li-tripod legs and dou-dish handles, were also left on the mound.
