近日，考古工作者在广西壮族自治区北海市银海区福成镇古城村委大树根村发现7万平方米古墓葬群，初步调查勘探大树根古墓群约有200座古墓，专家推测该墓葬群的年代约在六朝至隋唐时期。据介绍，该墓葬群最突出的特征是墓室普遍采用一种俗称”砂轮片”的石片构筑，也有部分墓葬以砖石合构。墓地采集遗物有陶器、瓷器、铁器等类。此外还发现少量“窅亭”铭文砖。专家称该墓葬群具有较高的研究价值。

Archaeologists recently discovered a large-scale cluster of ancient tombs dating back to the Six Dynasties period to the Sui and Tang Dynasties (222-907) in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Covering an area of 70,000 square meters, the cluster of some 200 tombs is located in Dashugen Village, Fucheng Township of Beihai City. The most prominent feature of the cluster is that most tomb chambers were constructed with stone pieces, but some tombs were made of brick and stone. Relics including pottery with diversified patterns, ironware and bricks with inscriptions were excavated from the tombs. Experts said that these archaeological discoveries are of great research value.
