摘要
鸡叫城古城址位于城头山古城东北。1998年冬,湖南省文物考古研究所对其进行了小规模试掘。城址平面略呈圆角方形,面积约15万平方米,墙外环绕壕沟。出土遗物以陶器为主,有少量石器。此古城在屈家岭文化中期以前即已形成,到屈家岭文化中晚期,开始修筑城墙和护城河。至石家河文化早期,再一次修筑规模更大的城墙。鸡叫城古城的发现,为研究长江中游新石器时代考古提供了新资料。
About fifteen km northeast of the ruins of another old city at Chengtoushan. the site underwent a small-scale excavation carried out by archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology of Hunan in the winter of 1998.On a terrace and of a plan of a round-cornered square, the site occupies a total area of about 150,000 sq m,with an orientation of ten degrees.The remaining walls measure 2-5 m in height and 40-60 in width.A moat is found to have skirted the walls. Most of the unearthed objects are pottery, and a few are stone. The city seems to have stood there by the middle phase of the Qujialing culture and .became walled and moated toward the mid-late phase. Greater walls were erected again in the early phase of the Shijiahe culture. The discovery and excavation of the site shed new light upon the Neolithic archaeology of middle streams of the Changjiang River.
