A Few Remarks upon the Antiquities of Silver Found at Cuerdale

The settlement of Le Yaudet, in northern Brittany, occupies a prominent position on a headland dominating the estuary of the river Léguer. It is the focus of a long-term research excavation, now in its tenth year, designed to study continuities and discontinuities in the occupation sequence from the Iron Age to the late medieval period. The paper focusses on late Roman and early medieval occupation. Tenuous evidence for late fourth- to early fifth-century military use is considered. Thereafter, fields worked by the ‘lazy bed’ method were laid out: contemporary corn-drying ovens have produced dates in the sixth and seventh centuries. The results are discussed in the context of the sparse historical evidence and other contemporary finds from Brittany.

试论马鞍山青铜大铙的年代及其性质

青铜铙在南方主要流行于商代晚期至西周早期。马鞍山青铜大铙的造型、纹饰与新干商代大墓出土的商代青铜器相似,因此,它的年代应与新干商墓青铜铙的年代相当,可定为商代晚期,相当于殷墟二期至三期。中原系统的青铜铙为军旅乐器,而南方系统的青铜大铙,具有明显的祭祀性质。从出土情况分析,马鞍山青铜大铙的卷云纹饰,以及出土地点距长江古道不远,因此它的功能极有可能是祭祀长江神灵的。
