2000～2001年随州厉山佘家老湾遗址试掘报告

佘家老湾遗址位于湖北省随州市北约24公里处,隶属随州市随县厉山镇王岗乡同心村八组佘家老湾。2000年上半年,在配合汉丹-宁西铁路联接线建设工程的考古调查中发现该遗址,遗址面积约10万平方米。2000年11～12月及2001年5～6月,湖北省文物考古研究所对遗址进行了试掘,发掘面积324平方米。该遗址文化层堆积较单一,主要是新石器时代晚期遗存。从出土的遗物特征看,属江汉地区石家河文化系统,但又具有河南龙山文化王湾三期的特点。该遗址对于研究这两大文化的相互碰撞及交流提供了极好的范例,同时也使我们对于这一特殊地理区域内的石家河文化晚期的面貌有了较深入的了解。     

Kirkenes: An Industrial Site Reinvented as a Border Town

Abstract

1 1. This is a significantly revised version of an article published in Nyseth and Granås 2007 “Place-reinvention – Dynamics and Governance Perspectives”, Stockholm: Nordregio. This article analyses the transformation of Kirkenes, a small town on the Russian–Norwegian border, from an industrial town to a border town. Kirkenes was established as a harbour for an iron-ore mining venture in what today is the municipality of Sør-Varanger. This industry closed down during the 1990s. The article describes how Kirkenes has been transformed within “bordered” relationships of civic society, business and a combination of high-level and local political activities. Being a border town and a centre in the Barents Region is the hegemonic narrative of today. The manifold transformations have led to a situation where Kirkenes has become “Russianized”, though local actors struggle with how to handle this aspect of local development and the meaning of the place. The article also investigates to what degree the transformations have changed local identity. The focus is on how identities are dealt with, whether they are seen as immanent and essential cultural traits, or as something that tends to be changed and adapted to the situation. Based on the concept of narrative identities, there are reasons to believe that there are strong identities based on both public narratives relating to local history and nature and metanarratives about globalization and cross-border communities.     

上海市青浦区青龙镇遗址2010年发掘简报

青龙镇遗址位于上海市青浦区,是唐宋时期上海重要的对外贸易港口。2010年上海博物馆考古研究部首次对青龙镇遗址进行了考古调查与发掘,发现了唐宋时期的房基、瓷片堆、水井、灰坑等遗迹及大量的遗物,为今后的工作奠定了基础。     

论登封告成王城岗遗址为禹都阳城说——兼与《禹都阳城即濮阳说》一文商榷

禹都阳城,古无异说。但阳城的具体位置,历来却众说纷纭,迄无定论。所以指望用文献记载来解决这个问题,是有困难的。因此,中国科学院(即现在的中国社会科学院)考古研究所研究员、著名的古史学家、考古学家徐旭生先生,提出利用文献记载结合田野考古实地调查来解决问题。他在分析和研究有关文献记载的基础上,于1959年夏天,以70高龄亲赴豫西四县进行“夏墟”的考古调查。调查的第一站是登封县,先在县城附近调查了几处遗址以后,即动身前往文献上记载的颖川阳城,即登封告成镇开展调查,在镇的西面约1公里处发现了八方遗址。     

香港与内地的贸易关系（1869-1904）

两次鸦片战争后,中国对外贸易的空间格局发生了很大变化,全国对外贸易枢纽由广州逐渐北移至上海.在中国沿海唯一能与上海争雄的口岸只有香港,这得益于香港优越的地理位置及宽泛的贸易辐射面.本文力图阐明19世纪后期到20世纪初,国内主要通商口岸与香港之间贸易关系的演进,分析其发展变化的具体表现形式.     

Town Houses in Taunton, 1500-1700

Abstract

In this article the author traces the evolution of the small to medium-sized town houses in Taunton in the period 1500–1700. He describes surviving examples of three, two and single cell houses, L-shaped, detached and semi-detached houses of the period, and after discussing building materials, compares them with developments elsewhere in the South West.     

古格王国遗址 高原古城

9世纪中叶以后,西藏历史进入一个长时间的各自为政的分裂割据时期。分崩离析的吐蕃王室后裔或割地自守,或流窜荒远,纷纷建立起各自新的小王系。除西藏西部阿里一带的古格王系、拉达克王系、布让王系外,还有占据拉萨的拉萨王系、固守山南地区的雅砻觉阿王系和偏踞青海的喃厮罗部。诸系中历史影响较大而又遗留下来丰富遗迹遗物的,     

Microtremor HVSR Study of Site Effects in the Ilirska Bistrica Town Area (S. Slovenia)

The region of Ilirska Bistrica is one of the most seismically active areas of Slovenia, where 15 damaging earthquakes with maximum intensity equal or greater than V EMS-98 have occurred in the last 100 years. These earthquakes have shown that strong site effects are characteristic of the parts of the town that are built on soft Pliocene clay and sand overlain by Quaternary alluvium. Since there is a lack of boreholes and geophysical and earthquake data, the microtremor horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) method was applied to a 250 m dense grid of free-field measurements over an extended area and to a 200 m dense grid in the town area in order to assess the fundamental frequency of the sediments. Measurements were additionally performed in ten characteristic houses to assess the main building frequencies. The effects of wind and artificial noise on the reliability of the results were analyzed. The map of the fundamental frequencies of sediments shows a distribution in a range of 1–20 Hz. The lower frequency range (below 10 Hz) corresponds to the extent of Pliocene clays and sand overlain by alluvium, which form a small basin, and the higher frequencies to flysch rocks, but variations within short distances are considerable. The measurements inside the buildings of various heights (2–6 stories) showed main longitudinal and transverse frequencies in the range 3.8–8.8 Hz. Since this range overlaps with the fundamental frequency range for Pliocene and Quaternary sediments (2–10 Hz), the danger of soil-structure resonance is considerable, especially in the northern part of the town. Soil-structure resonance is less probable in the central and southern part of the town, where higher free-field frequencies prevail. These observations are in agreement with the distribution of damage caused by the 1995 earthquake (M_L?=?4.7, I_max?=?VI EMS-98), for which a detailed damage survey data is available.     

"Give the ladies a chance": gender and partisanship in the Prohibition Party, 1869-1912

In the nineteenth-century Prohibition Party, American women ascribed new gendered meanings to party work traditionally performed by male partisans, and also drew upon their gendered roles as women, mothers, and wives to create new partisan strategies. This article investigates the political culture that sustained a remarkable departure from traditional Democratic and Republican practices, and further explores why women's contributions to the Prohibition Party declined in the early-twentieth century. In so doing, it traces how gender and gender roles shaped the meaning of party and politics, and elucidates the interplay between institutions, constituencies, and policy during one of America's most tumultuous political eras.
