胡孟村Humeng Cun

发现时间：1992；单位钱币总数量：2；不明，1992年4月,陕西省临潼县代王镇孟家村孟增志等村民在村南50余米处取土时,发现两件铜质“半两”钱范和铜锨、铁臿等文物。县文管会前往现场勘查,确认这里是一秦代铸钱作坊遗址,其中铜炉遗迹及秦半两钱范的发现,对研究秦代政治经济、秦陵园的建设提供了重要依据。遗址南距代王镇0.5公里,距秦始皇帝陵2.5公里。现暴露在外的面积计4000余平方米。其范围内各种瓦当等建筑构件残片俯拾皆是,更重要的发现有红烧土坑及冶炼铜的炉壁碎块。发现的两件钱范,其中一件范身呈矩形,四角圆弧,范内并列两行钱腔,每行六枚。腔径2.8厘米,正方形穿,边长0.8厘米,阴刻篆书“半两”二字。每枚钱腔开一浇口与直浇道相通。范背附有三个纽,其中两纽为三棱形,高1.5厘米。一纽呈一横棱,长3厘米,高1.5厘米。范通长21厘米,宽8.8厘米,边沿厚0.5厘米。钱腔文字清晰,字体圆润,同以往所见秦半两字体相同。另一件钱范,形状同前一范基本一致,范内并列两行钱腔,每行七枚。腔径2.6厘米,正方形穿,边长0.7厘米,范背有四个圆柱形纽,纽高1.2厘米。这次所出的半两钱范的腔径都和以往秦陵所出半两钱径相近;加之建筑遗物都同秦陵其它建筑遗址所出遗物一致,可以证实两件钱范系秦代之物无疑,从而证实遗址系秦代铸钱作坊。根据2002年的跟进调查，遗址位于胡孟村南50米，现存面积4000平方米。2014年调查发现遗址的踩踏面上有红烧土，秦汉时期的陶片，以及木炭渣。

Excavation year: 1992; Original total count: 2. Unclear. In April 1992, villagers of Menjia Village, Daiwang Township, Lintong County, Shaanxi, including Meng Zengzhi, discovered two bronze "Ban Liang" coin molds along with a bronze shovel, iron chan spade, and other artifacts while digging earth about 50 m south of the village. The county cultural-relics office investigated on site and confirmed this to be a Qin-dynasty coin-casting workshop; the bronze furnace remains and Qin Ban Liang molds found here provide important evidence for the study of Qin political economy and the construction of the Qin mausoleum precinct. The site lies 0.5 km south of Daiwang Township and 2.5 km from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang; the currently exposed area covers over 4,000 sq m. Fragments of various roof-tile-end building components are scattered throughout; more significantly, reddened burnt-earth pits and fragments of copper-smelting furnace walls were also found. Of the two coin molds discovered, one is rectangular with rounded corners, bearing two parallel rows of coin cavities within, six per row; each cavity is 2.8 cm in diameter with a square perforation 0.8 cm on a side, incised in seal script with the two characters 半两 (Ban Liang). Each cavity opens onto a sprue channel connected to a straight runner. The back of the mold has three lugs, two triangular in cross-section and 1.5 cm high, and one a horizontal ridge 3 cm long and 1.5 cm high. The mold is 21 cm long overall, 8.8 cm wide, with an edge thickness of 0.5 cm. The characters in the coin cavities are clear and rounded in style, matching previously known Qin Ban Liang script. The other mold is similar in shape, with two parallel rows of coin cavities, seven per row; each cavity is 2.6 cm in diameter with a square perforation 0.7 cm on a side, and the back bears four cylindrical lugs 1.2 cm high. The cavity diameters of the Ban Liang molds found here are close to those of Ban Liang coins previously found at the Qin mausoleum; combined with building remains matching other Qin mausoleum-area sites, this confirms both molds are Qin-dynasty objects, and that the site is a Qin-dynasty coin-casting workshop. A 2002 follow-up survey found the site 50 m south of Humeng Village, with a surviving area of 4,000 sq m. A 2014 survey found reddened burnt earth, Qin-Han pottery sherds, and charcoal fragments on the site's trampled surface.
