摘要

Brick-chamber tombs represent a significant burial form in the Chengdu Plain. Currently, few Sui and Tang Dynasty brick-chamber tombs have been discovered in this region, leaving the field of research relatively unexplored. Based on archaeological typology and stratigraphy, this study examines the age and related issues of the M3 brick-chamber tomb at the Lijiawan site, considering factors such as the tomb structure, the assemblage and characteristics of burial objects, and the bricks used in its construction. It was found that the artifacts unearthed from this tomb and its structural design are highly typical and distinctive, with the tomb dating back to the late Sui and early Tang periods. Starting from the analysis of the dish-mouthed jars unearthed from Lijiawan M3 and the bricks used in its construction, it is evident that the development and evolution of dish-mouthed jars in the Chengdu Plain show distinct characteristics, while the use of Han Dynasty bricks is related to the social context of the time and their inherent cultural significance.
