The excavation of four ploughed-out round barrows in Milton Keynes has produced evidence of relevance to barrow design, ceramic chronology, economy, settlement patterns and population in the second millennium B.C.

The chronological usefulness of Longworth's Collared Urn Classification is considered and a long survival of All-Over-Cord Beaker tradition in southern Britain is suggested. Three of the sites produced a mixed flint assemblage ranging in date from Mesolithic to Bronze Age. A local pastoral economy, possibly associated with transhumance, is indicated at two sites. It is suggested that barrow distribution coincided with settlement distribution. An estimate is made of the proportion of the population who received barrow burial and a formula is derived for computing the size of local Bronze Age populations.

中国人"上帝"观念的演变

老天爷,又名“天”、“上帝”、“太一”、“昊天大帝”、“皇天大帝”、“玉皇大帝”等,是中国土权威最高的神。自古及今,中国神祗众多,但是,能有老天爷那样影响时间之长、影响范围之广、影响人口之多鲜为人见,因此,对老天爷这尊民间大神进行深入的研究,对我国宗教学及民俗学等都有一定的理论意义。     

蓝毗尼——佛祖诞生地
