中新网武汉11月9日电 (记者 梁婷)由湖北省文物考古研究院、湖北大学文化遗产学院、中国人民大学历史学院、湖北恩施唐崖土司城遗址管理处编著的《咸丰唐崖》(上、下册)近日正式出版,系湖北唐崖土司城遗址考古报告首次公开。
该书主编、湖北大学文化遗产学院教授刘辉9日受访时表示,该报告系2011年至2014年唐崖土司城址考古调查、发掘研究成果。唐崖土司城址为深入认识和研究独具特色的土司文化和土司制度提供重要物证。
唐崖土司城址位于湖北恩施土家族苗族自治州咸丰县唐崖镇唐崖司村唐崖河西岸。该遗址是中国西南地区元、明、清时期著名的土司遗址之一。2015年7月4日,唐崖土司城遗址与湖南永顺老司城遗址、贵州播州海龙囤遗址共同作为中国土司系列遗产成功列入世界文化遗产名录。
刘辉介绍,系统考古调查和发掘表明,唐崖土司城址自18世纪中叶废弃后,以遗址状态保存至今,其城址格局、各类遗存及其选址环境特征总体保存较好。明代万历至天启年间,是唐崖土司历史上最为鼎盛时期,城址内留存至今的遗迹大多兴建于这一时期。城址内属于土司时期遗迹丰富,地面遗存以牌坊、张王庙、土司墓葬最为突出。
在空间结构与布局上,唐崖土司城址具有由壕沟、城墙、衙署区围墙构成的多重结构体系。其中,衙署区位于规制定义的城的中心,具有明确的中轴线。牌坊位于中轴线东端起点,是整个城址最重要的标志性建筑,现有布局表明,城址内各重要功能区的划分与布局以该中轴线为核心展开布局。
刘辉表示,该结构与布局高度模仿汉地府、县级别城址的建制,既体现了自身独特的文化特征,同时也体现了明代中后期以来,中国西南土司地区少数民族对汉文化的学习与吸收。他指出,城址规模与等级的变化,反映了以唐崖土司为代表的西南土司与中央政权的隶属关系及其国家认同感。
