Abstract:

The Dabuzi Cemetery in Jingyang County of Shaanxi Province, is a burial complex adjacent to the town of Changling Mausoleum of the Western Han Dynasty. It has a rich array of artifacts that hold significant implications for studying the funeral system surrounding royal mausoleums of the Western Han Dynasty. Existing archaeological evidence predominantly indicates that during the Han Dynasty, the Guanzhong region primarily engaged in millet agriculture. However, there is a lack of targeted exploration on the relationship between grains and co-excavated artifacts,as well as the development of crop cultivation. This study analyzes various residues found in pottery granaries, jars,stoves, and pots unearthed from burials in 2021, including seeds, phytolith and starch grains. The research reveals that foxtail millet(Setaria italica) has the highest occurrence frequency, followed by broomcorn millet(Panicum miliaceum),cannabis(Cannabis sativa), rice(Oryza sativa), and wheat(Triticum aestivum), suggesting that the agricultural production system of the inhabitants at Dabuzi during the Western Han Dynasty was a multi-crop utilization predominantly featured by the millet agriculture. Combined with studies of plant remains at other sites in the Guanzhong region, this research suggests that under an interactive influence of multiple factors such as crop planting conditions,dietary traditions of inhabitants, and official political promotion, the millet agricultural production in the Guanzhong region of the Han Dynasty was stable in the long term, while the soybean and wheat cultivation showed a dynamic development. This study provides the new data for understanding the burial traditions regarding grains and the development history of grain cultivation during the Han Dynasty in the Guanzhong region.
