郑州西山仰韶文化城址的发现与发掘是我国近年来田野考古工作的重要成果之一。该城址距今约5300～4800年,平面呈圆形,面积约19000平方米。城墙采用版筑法,墙外环绕壕沟,已发现西、北两处城门,其中北门两侧均有附筑的城台,门外正中横筑一道护门墙,城内发现道路、房基、窖穴、墓葬等遗迹。西山城址的发现为研究中国早期城提供了珍贵的资料。
Lying in the northwestern outskirts of Zhengzhou, the Xishan site consists of seven groups of remainsthat came continuously in chronological order, covering the early, middle and late phases of the Yangshaoculture, and bears a cultural similarity to the Dahecun site. A site city of an approximately round plan wasalso found here. The site belonged to the late Yangshao culture about 5300-4800 years from present. Onlyits northern part has remained, occupying about 19000 sq.m. The wall of the city was plankrammed, thepart near the corner being thicker than the other sections. A moat skirted the walls. The city had twogates. One of them was opened on the northern wall near the northeastern corner of the city, and flankedwith a bastion on each side. An outer ward stood before the gate. A north-south road ran passing throughthe northeastern part of the city at a right angle with the outer ward. The remains inside the city includehouse foundation, ash pit, hoard pit, graveyard, etc.. Pottery urns of skeletal remains of infants were oftenfound beneath house foundation, indicating the presence of infanticidal sacrifice. The discovery providesvaluable materials for the research of early cities in China.
