记得在1987年,北京大学考古学系同湖北省博物馆和荆州博物馆合组石家河考古队,全面规划石家河遗址群的考古工作的时候,邓家湾遗址的勘探与发掘是首选项目之一。这个遗址之所以被特别看重,是因为在历年的考古调查与试掘中,曾经不止一次地出土过陶塑小动物和陶筒形器等特殊物品,而且相当集中地分布在墓地的旁边,这种情况在别的遗址是很少见的。为了深入了解邓家湾遗址的性质及其在整个石家河遗址群中的地位与作用,我们决定对它进行重点发掘。1987年春、秋两个季度的发掘,发现在遗址的西部有一个屈家岭文化和石家河文化的墓地,同时发现有一大批宗教性遗迹,确 I remember in 1987, when the Archaeological Department of Peking University collaborated with the Hubei Provincial Museum and the Jingzhou Museum to form an archeological team of Shijiahe to comprehensively plan the archaeological work of the Shijiahe site, the exploration and excavation of the site of Dengjiawan was the preferred project one. The reason why this site is particularly valued is that in the archaeological survey and trial excavations over the years, there have been unearthed more than once the special items such as pottery and pottery pottery and pottery, but also very concentrated in the cemetery next to the distribution of this The situation is rare at other sites. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of Dengjiawan site and its role and role in the entire Shijiahe site, we decided to focus on it. In the spring and autumn of 1987, two quarters of excavations were found. There was a cemetery of Qujialing culture and Shijiahe culture in the west of the site, and a large number of religious relics were found
