世界屋脊上的“最美”医生

Most Tibetan people regard Losar,the Tibetan New Year,as a time for families to come together,but Tsering Pedron instead spends her time treating patients at the Ngari People's Hospital in Ngari Prefecture."I recognize the importance of seeing one's family during the New Year and other key festivals,but if I purely give my time to my family,who else would be there for my patients should they need me?"said Tsering Pedron,who is the Ob-Gyn director of the hospital.She has only gone home to see her family and celebrate the holiday once since 1993.

传统藏陶传承千年再焕新生

Traditional Tibetan pottery has a long history and comes in varying categories and shapes,making it one of ethnic Tibetans’ most refined forms of cultural art.Today,however,very few craftsmen have been able to fully pass on the pottery-making process,and pottery makers have disappeared from the map entirely in some places.

人类踏上青藏高原的第一步:西藏旧石器时代考古的新成果

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949,tremendous achievements have been made in archaeology in Tibet.A series of new archaeological finds provided important physical evidence for rewriting the ancient history of Tibet,proving eloquently the close connection between Tibetan and mainland Chinese cultures and outlining how Tibetan civilization gradually became part of the Chinese nation as a whole.Starting from this issue,the column will introduce some of the most influential archaeological discoveries.

西藏温泉

The Evolution of Happiness

The authors reveal a dramatic but previously unsuspected pattern in archaeological illustration: the presence of smiling faces composed of artifacts arranged in plates of archaeological illustrations and photographs. In this paper, we explore the possible meanings that lurk behind and emerge from these mysterious portraits, questioning whether they are byproducts of human agency or whether, instead, they represent new examples of how material objects act back on (or “interfere with”) human agency.

安徽查济 隐藏在山坳里的神秘古村

<正>去查济也是突然间的一个念头。皖南的古村落来来回回已经去过多次了,西递宏村的喧嚣已经让人疲倦,而查济始终让我有种"养在深闺未识"的神秘感。跟朋友提议说周末我们去查济避暑吧,一拍即合。后来觉得这个朋友将来一定是我的生死之交,因为去查济的那天,泾县的气温是42.7度,全国最高温。而合肥的温度稍微低那么点,避暑越避越热,或许这也是种独特的"避暑"方式。"十里查村九里烟,三

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.
