包头博物馆馆藏唐卡分期研究

古代唐卡是我国藏族文化遗产中的璀璨瑰宝。但是,由于唐卡制作不留创作年代和作者姓名,因此古代唐卡的断代分期成了收藏者最为棘手的问题。包头博物馆馆藏有118幅唐卡,为了准确地给这批唐卡分期断代,包头博物馆专业人员在查阅大量唐卡资料的基础上,根据这批唐卡的来源、藏传佛教与蒙古地区发生关系的时代,以及唐卡自身绘画特征的变化等特征进行分析,最后确定了每幅唐卡的作画年代。包头博物馆现藏的这批唐卡,是1978年由包头文物管理处从废品收购站抢救收购的。“文革”期间,这批珍贵唐卡被“红卫兵”破“四旧”从包头及附近的寺庙抄走后,堆…     

查拉路甫石窟 吐蕃第一窟

查拉路甫石窟寺开凿于松赞干布时期,是早到西藏吐蕃王朝早期的石窟．有“吐蕃第一窟”之美誉。窟内古老的石刻造像,具有较高的历史和艺术价值。它不仅为西藏众多的摩崖造像、泥塑像、壁画,唐卡等提供了断代依据．而且极大丰富了我国石窟艺术,是全面认识我国石窟艺术面貌的重要材料。

介绍几幅蒙古族唐卡

唐卡是藏传佛教特有的一种绘画作品,具有浓郁的民族和宗教色彩,留传至今已有一千多年的历史。这种原以藏族画工为主体的绘画艺术,在明代之后伴随着藏传佛教传入,随着寺院的建立和兴起,为蒙古族接受和学习,同时也更加丰富了唐卡艺术的内涵。蒙古语称唐卡为“布斯吉如格”。当时蒙古族画工或僧人也为寺院绘制壁画、唐卡,但这些绘画由于没有题记和不署作者之名,所以很难区分是哪个民族所绘。五当召是内蒙古地区最大的藏传佛教寺院,各殿堂现存唐卡466幅。时代多为清代,也有部分为民国时期所绘。这些唐卡有西藏高僧赠送本召活佛的精美之作,有青海…

Dating Historical Buildings: An Update on the Possibilities of Absolute Dating Methods

The reconstruction of the history of a building represents a difficult task, as written information is not usually available or incomplete. Some building materials (e.g., bricks, wood) have been classically used for absolute dating while on others has been considered unreliable (e.g., stone). However, developments and tests performed in the last 20 years have shown important advances on the use of such methods, increasing the possibilities of successful reconstruction of building chronologies, although most of these advances are still scarcely known by the community involved in the site management (e.g., archaeologists, architects). Both, radiocarbon and luminescence dating have been the most successful techniques but others, such as archaeomagnetism, can also be used. Even, some important events such as fires could be dated. The purpose of this work is to provide an overview of the last achievements of absolute dating techniques available in building materials.     

THERMOLUMINESCENT AUTHENTICITY STUDY AND DATING OF RENAISSANCE TERRACOTTAS

A comparative study is made of the thermoluminescence (TL) of terracottas of the Renaissance era and some known limitations of such ware dating to the middle of the last century. The data shows that conclusions on authenticity of an unknown work can be reliably obtained using this scientific method. Also examples are presented of accurate dating of genuine terracottas despite a lack of knowledge about the environmental circumstances of each piece's archaeological past.     

On the Primeval Antiquities of the Channel Islands

Bishop's Waltham Palace, one of the most important residences of the bishopric of Winchester, was transformed by two of the most powerful of its later medieval bishops, Wykeham and Beaufort (1367–1447). The exceptional quality of the bishopric records enables us to trace the chronology of the progress of work with considerable accuracy and requires revision of the conventional dating of the buildings. The records also provide a great deal of information about the craftsmen and architects involved and about the building materials and their sources. Beaufort's new lodgings range still possesses much of the original timber framing of its eastern chambers, and this together with its accurate dating has warranted separate treatment.

Note on dating The accounting year ran from Michaelmas to Michaelmas (29 September), and I have dated work by the year in which this closed. Most of the building season would therefore be recorded in the account for the same calendar year, but any late autumn work would be found in the following year's account.     

Bone collagen preservation in the tropics: a case study from ancient Puerto Rico

Bone collagen is a well-characterized and generally robust protein that plays a key role in both radiometric dating and stable isotopic reconstruction of paleodiet. To be useful for such purposes, however, analyzed collagen must be relatively taphonomically unaltered. To date, little research has been conducted to document the taphonomic fate of bone collagen from archaeological sites in the tropics. In the present work, a large (n = 298) dataset of archaeological bone samples from sites on the island of Puerto Rico is examined by means of radiometric, chemical, and elemental analyses. The ultimate conclusion of this work is that while collagen loss may be accelerated in the tropics versus that seen in samples from higher latitudes, what collagen remains is typically sufficiently well-preserved and taphonomically unaltered as to make radiocarbon dating and/or stable isotopic analysis worthwhile.     

Lichenometric dating and the nature of the excavation of the Huashan Grottoes,East China

The present study aims to identify the timing of the Huashan Grottoes' excavations using the lichenometric dating method. A total of 96 maximum inscribed circle diameters of Rhizocarpon geographicum growing on the ancient architectures and the walls of entrances are measured in the Huashan Grottoes area of southern Anhui, East China. The results show that the period of the grottoes' excavation is estimated to be 450–335 yr BP, or the middle and late Ming Dynasty (1552–1667 AD). The lichenometric dating results are also validated by a lithologic comparison of the grottoes and the surrounding ancient architectures, as well as by the studies on the historical documents and the fragments of ancient porcelain in the grottoes. Furthermore, we infer that the excavation of the inner grottoes might have lasted till the Qing Dynasty (1636–1912 AD), because the lichens chosen for dating are mainly at the grottoes' entrances. The wider significance of this work is that it demonstrates, for the first time, lichenometric dating can be applied in the historical studies on the ancient architectures in East China with a relatively warm and humid climate.     

Taming the control of chronology in ancient agricultural structures in the Calchaqui Valley,Argentina. Non-traditional data sets

The absolute chronology of the agricultural soil from organic matter has always been difficult to measure due to several reasons. In our work on the Prehispanic agriculture in the Calchaqui Valley – Argentina, however, an absolute chronology is necessary to distinguish the Inca prevalence of the previous agricultural structure. Instead of looking for a new dating methodology, we have used the 14C method trying to eliminate the error sources typical of soils. Thus, we have dated new types of agricultural structures, with the assumption that they would have worked as archaeological “seals”. In the present paper we show that the dating of the beginning of the use of the Prehispanic agricultural systems has been successful.     

Kuggmaren 1: the first cog find in the Stockholm archipelago, Sweden

In 1998 a wreck in the Stockholm archipelago of the Baltic Sea came to the attention of the maritime archaeological community. It seemed to have cog-like characteristics, although opinions about its building tradition were initially divided. Subsequent survey and dating analysis not only established that this was a medieval, cog-like vessel but that it is relatively early. Its find spot, however, is consistent with medieval trading enterprise. This paper summarizes the results of the work to date and raises questions for future research.
