摘要
Tradition has it that the Fengxi area in Chang’an county, Shaanxi, was the locality where Zhou King Wenwang founded the capital Feng. Archaeological surveys and excavations have revealed there Western Zhou sites dense in distribution and rich in content. As for remains of the Predynasty Zhou culture, however, there had been no definite evidence for a long time. from 1967, a few tombs at Fengxi were found containing highnecked pocket-legged pottery li tripods (高领袋足鬲), some of which being unearthed in association with bronze weapons in the late Shang style, so the graves were decisively assigned to the Predynasty Zhou culture. In 1997, carrying out an item of the" Xia-Shang -Zhou Chronology Project," we excavated at Fengxi a group of typical stratigraphical data showing an ash-pit of the late Predynasty Zhou culture to be superimposed by early western zhou layers. According to the 14 C-dating of the serial samples from the pit and strata, the year of Wuwang conquering the Shang can be determined to be between 1050-1020 BC. This conclusion has accepted by most of the archaeological researchers.
