Description

榆次城定位在榆次砖窑街一带,今晋丰一品小区。1942年日本学者对此城进行初步调查,1954年山西省文管会对这一区域继续调查并确定城址范围。2013年以来晋中市考古研究院对城址重新进行调查。城址外围有猫儿岭墓群,所出陶器有“次市”陶文,应为秦汉以来榆次县城所在。

Yuci is located in the Zhuanwayao, Yuci County. In 1942, Japanese scholars had done a preliminary survey. In 1954, the Shanxi Institute of Archaeology continued surveying and mapping the plan of the city. Since 2013, the Jinzhong Institute of archaeology restarted the survey. Outside of the city, near the Maoerling village, high-ranking elite's tombs from the Warring States period have also been excavated. Pottery with the inscription “Ci Shi”(Market of Yuci) had been found in the cemetery, implying that the location of Yuci County should not be far away from the cemetery.
