Possible neurofibromatosis in a Scythian period individual from the cemetery of Aymyrlyg,Tuva, South Siberia

The article presents evidence of possible neurofibromatosis in a female cranium discovered in a Scythian period (7th–2nd century BC ) context from the cemetery complex of Aymyrlyg, Tuva, south Siberia. The diagnosis of neurofibromatosis has been suggested on the basis of enlarged orbits, signs for the presence of a soft tissue tumour in the left orbit, facial abnormalities and the survival age of the individual. Neurofibromatosis is a congenital condition which, to the best of the authors' knowledge, has previously been described in only one other instance in the palaeopathological literature. Differential diagnoses includes angiomata, dermoid cysts and developmental glaucoma. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

陕西咸阳岩村墓地M41发掘简报

岩村墓地位于陕西省咸阳市渭城区底张镇,2017—2018年发掘的49座墓葬中,M41为竖穴墓道双洞室结构,同穴合葬形式,出土有铜鼎、铜壶、陶罐、漆卮、铜镜等。其中随葬铜壶封口处残留有条状植物捆扎的织物,内残存有液体。经检测铜壶口部覆盖物为麻织物,捆扎物初步推断为植物纤维。残留的液体经检测为粮食酿造的酒即"醴"。在墓葬内洞室相通处遗留有动物残骸,这反映了秦人葬礼中的祭献习俗。根据墓葬形制和随葬器物判断岩村M41的时代为战国晚期晚段至秦代初期。     

Kozlov Mys-2 Burial Ground and Issues of Chronology for the Early to Late Iron Age Transition in the Trans-Ural Region

This article addresses issues of dating and the duration of the transition from the Early to the Late Iron Age using findings from Kozlov Mys-2 burial ground in the subtaiga Tobol region and sites attributable to the final stage of the Sargat culture. Absolute dates suggest that intermediate sites existed in the forest steppe and subtaiga areas east of the Urals in the first half of the 4th century AD.

Intramural Burials of Children at Bronze Age Sites in the Southern Urals (Early 2nd Millennium Bc)*

Intramural child burials are rare in Bronze Age settlements of the Southern Urals. The study addresses this type of burial at sites associated with the Sintashta and Petrovka traditions. Their analysis generates two interpretations: one related to fertility and ancestor worship, the other to family relationships and the mentality of the people living in the Bronze Age.     

The early neolithic pottery of the volga-ural region (based on the materials of the elshanka culture)

This article deals with the technologies of pottery-making used by the population of the Volga-Ural region during the Early Neolithic. The analyzed assemblage includes 344 specimens of ceramics (conventionally regarded as separate vessels) from 12 sites of the Elshanka culture (end of the 7th–6th millennium BC). The research method elaborated by A.A. Bobrinsky is based on binocular microscopy, use-wear analysis, and physical modeling. The origins and evolution of the Early Neolithic ceramic traditions in the Volga-Ural region and the role of their admixture are discussed.     

关于早期夏文化──从夏商周王朝更迭与考古学文化变迁的关系谈起

商、周王朝的建立是通过大规模的族际战争行为实现的,在考古学文化上产生突变是正常现象。夏王朝的建立是本部落联盟内社会历史自然发展的结果,不可能在考古学文化上出现中断。认为夏王朝的建立必然伴随着一个新的考古学文化诞生的观点,从理论和实践上都是不能成立的。     

由五代宋初山水画论看风水学对山水画成熟的影响

风水学在唐末五代发生了变革,其中以考察山川形势的“形势宗”占据了主流地位,其理论具有浓厚的美学意味。就在这段时期,山水画领域同样发生了巨变,山水画由稚嫩发展至成熟。通过对风水术转型前后理论的发展与山水画成熟期山水画论的比较,可以看到风水学对山水画的成熟所起的作用。     

The Pleistocene Peopling of the North: Paleolithic Milestones and Thresholds Horizons in Northern Eurasia: Part I: Lower Paleolithic Antecedents

Human occupation of northern Eurasia high latitudes entailed coping with severe bioclimatic circumstances and Ice Age cycle fluctuations. Resolving this “adaptability paradox” required depending on cultural, rather than biological means. Paleolithic evidence indicates culture historical developments of considerable time depth, long-term adaptive stages, and thresholds in the “peopling of the North.” It began with Lower Paleolithic populations expanding into temperate and continental Eurasia, becoming fully actualized during the Middle and Upper Paleolithic. The Middle Paleolithic formative stage constituted a human biogeographic realm overlapping significantly with the Mammoth-Steppe Biome faunal complex. Part I identifies issues, time perspectivism, culture, foraging adaptation, and human biogeography concepts. Lower Paleolithic occurrences, initial occupation episodes are surveyed and discussed.     

对明末清初景德镇陶瓷发展史的再认识——试论“转变期”或“过渡期”提法的局限性

在中国古陶瓷研究领域,明末清初时期被称为"转变期"或"过渡期",在制瓷技术、绘画风格、装饰纹样和器形品种等方面,此时的景德镇瓷器基本是民窑产品,与明代早中期没有大的风格变化,"转变"只是对民窑风格的继承和发展。用"转变期"或"过渡期"定位这段陶瓷发展史不够恰当,而用带有时间或时代概念的中性词汇来形容则更加合适。
