西藏温泉

西藏有多少温泉中国科学院青藏高原综合科学考察队将广义的温泉定义为:从地下深部自然涌出或喷出的地下水,泉口温度比当地年平均气温高出5℃以上。超过45℃的温泉可称为热泉,温度达到或超过当地沸点的温泉称为沸泉。国内一些学者倾向于将温泉的下限温度设定在25℃,以避免不同地区有着不同的温泉判别标准。

Serpentine Hot Springs,Alaska: results of excavations and implications for the age and significance of northern fluted points

The dispersal of Homo sapiens across the New World is one of the greatest chapters in the history of our species; however, major questions about this late Pleistocene diaspora remain unanswered. Two contentious issues are the timing of colonization of the Bering Land Bridge and origin of Clovis, which at 13,000 calendar years ago is the earliest unequivocal complex of archaeological sites in temperate North America, known by its specialized fluted spear points. One hypothesis is that fluting technology emerged in Beringia and from there was carried southbound, with fluted points becoming the diagnostic “calling card” of early Paleoindians spreading across the Western Hemisphere. Fluted points have long been known from Alaska, yet until now they have never been found in a datable geologic context, making their relationship to Clovis a mystery. Here we show that a new archaeological site at Serpentine Hot Springs, Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, Alaska, contains fluted points in a stratified geologic deposit dating to no earlier than 12,400 calendar years ago. Our results suggest that Alaska's fluted-point complex is too young to be ancestral to Clovis, and that it instead represents either a south-to-north dispersal of early Americans or transmission of fluting technology from temperate North America. These results suggest that the peopling of the Americas and development of Paleoindian technology were much more complex than traditional models predict.     

Tibet Institute for Nationalities:First in Tibet

Of the three, the TAR Prison is the largest and the only one exclusively for female inmates.Of the inmates, 76 percent are of the Tibetan ethnic group, 20 percent from the Han ethnic group, and remaining four percent from

扎根西藏发掘原生态人文精神

作为西藏对外展示新形象的文化窗口,西藏美术馆的建立对促进各民族交往交流交融、提升城市品质品位、营造文化氛围都有着十分重要的意义。有了美术馆,人们大概最关心的就是美术馆的展品、展陈事宜。策展人、画家罗伯特·斯托尔曾说:被艺术感动就是被带离熟悉的环境,跳出自我而灵魂出窍,好的作品会让人回首旅程的起点还有留在身后的那个有限的自我。     

藏地食客

在西藏．我爱上了一切．当然也包括藏地的饮食。西藏的饮食．以藏区特产农作物、砖茶、牛羊为主,调味主要来源于盐、糖、藏葱、野蒜、姜等。受到四川菜的大量影响．辣椒也是常用的调味品．同时又因为与尼泊尔和印度比邻,便也有使用咖喱、胡椒的传统。     

茂地僧人

认识杨延康二十年有余。他的摄影之路曲折、艰辛,但坚韧。一个成功的人往往都很偏执,杨延康的偏执地在藏区。“每个人来到人世间是注定要与一些人和事结缘的”,杨延康这么说过,他这辈子可能终身与摄影、与宗教、与藏民族结缘了。“影踪”栏目是一个影像的“博物馆”,有幸请来杨延康用摄影为我们讲述一段他心底里的藏地故事,实乃不易。我认同他对摄影的理解：“真正的摄影是平静的,平淡的。平淡的不平静才更让人感动,好的片子是看不到摄影师的,他们会隐蔽在相机后面。”
