湖北丹江口杜店旧石器时代遗址发现的遗迹现象初探

位于湖北省丹江口库区的杜店旧石器时代遗址于2008年由吉林大学边疆考古研究中心进行发掘,获得了一批重要材料。极为难得的是,在该遗址发现了一处旧石器时代晚期的遗迹现象(编号08DDIYJ1)。本文从遗迹的形态、埋藏学以及砾石和石制品的原料、大小、类型等方面进行了分析和探讨,初步推断这是一处属于原地埋藏的石器加工场所。该遗迹的发现与研究为探讨杜店遗址以至汉江流域旧石器时代晚期古代居民的文化面貌、工业技术特点以及生业模式提供了强有力的佐证。     

Black grouse as the prey of the golden eagle at an archaeological site

Remains of black grouse, Lyrurus tetrix, were recovered from an archaeological excavation of the site of a golden eagle, Aquila chrysaetos, eyrie. It has been suggested that bird remains from human predation can be distinguished from those due to avian predation, because humans leave few of the distal bones (tibiotarsus, carpometacarpus). In this case, the eagle also left few of these bones; it is suggested that the distinction is one which may allow owl prey to be distinguished, but human and raptor prey are indistinguishable by that criterion.

薛家岗玉器加工工艺的微痕迹初探

为探讨薛家岗文化玉器的制作工艺,采用体视显微镜进行微痕观察,并通过X-射线衍射分析、红外光谱、拉曼光谱等分析仪器的物相测试,对安徽省文物考古研究所和安徽省博物馆所藏的127件薛家岗玉器的表面加工微痕迹进行研究分析。结果显示：薛家岗玉器大多光素无纹;玉料主要以闪石玉为主,结构普遍较粗;开料以线切割技术为主,片切割技术为辅;钻孔主要为两面对钻,工具有实心钻和空心管钻,孔壁常留有螺旋钻痕和对钻台痕;玉器整体经过打磨抛光工序;出现了破裂玉器的接合修复技术;薛家岗文化晚期出现了镂空技法、减地浅浮雕技法以及阴线刻技法,体现了玉器制作工艺的明显进步。     

湖北郧县后房旧石器遗址发掘简报

后房旧石器遗址位于湖北省十堰市郧县青曲镇王家山村,主要埋藏于汉水左岸二级阶地的黄棕色黏土层中。2010年10～11月武汉大学考历史学院、南京大学地理与海洋科学学院和郧县博物馆联合组队对该遗址进行了抢救性发掘,揭露面积400平方米,出土石制品162件,类型包括石核、石片、砾石工具、断块、砾石等。原料都是磨圆度高的砾石,岩性以脉石英为主;石制品以中小型为主,大型石器数量相当少;石核、石片、断块数量多,砾石石器数量极少,包括手镐、砍砸器、两面器,仅占总数的3%左右;工具毛坯多是石核、石片、断块,砾石毛坯比例很低;石制品生产体系存在两种不同的概念,对应于两条不同的操作链。根据地貌地层对比推断遗址形成于中更新世晚期至晚更新世初期,地层里出土的两面器为探讨中国两面器的演化及其与西方旧石器文化之间的关系提供了重要材料。     

Integrated geophysical surveys at the archaeological site of Tindari (Sicily,Italy)

The results of geophysical survey carried out at the archaeological site of Tindari, located 70 km west-north-west of Messina (Sicily, Italy), are presented and discussed. The site is one of the most important archaeological sites, about 90 ha large, on the north-eastern side of Sicily and it was one of the last Greek settlements in Sicily. Keeping in mind the vastness of the site, according to the archaeologists an area, of about 1200 m² was selected, for a geophysical survey. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), including induced polarization (IP) measurements, and seismic refraction tomography were applied in the course of geophysical exploration in the area. The objective of this preliminary geophysical investigation was to verify the effectiveness of the technique for a spatial definition of the buried archaeological structures (mostly walls, columns, etc.) to determine their characteristics and to study the presence of collapsed columns within the zone of archaeological interest, in view of their application in the rest of the site, that, for obvious reasons, could not be entirely excavated in brief times. The geophysical data, visualized in 3D space, revealed a distribution of low-contrast shallow anomalies that indicate the presence of different types of buried structures in the surveyed area. Also, the probable accumulations of collapsed columns could be determined. These results confirm the hypothesis of a large northern extension of the archaeological site and provide useful information to design a more efficient excavation plan.     

郑州商城遗址出土夯土材料的分析研究

利用体视显微镜、偏光显微镜、扫描电镜、X射线衍射仪、傅立叶红外光谱仪、激光粒度分析仪、湿化学分析等手段分析了郑州商城建筑遗址夯土材料的传统工艺、物质结构和原料配比等信息。研究发现:该夯土层可分为上下两层,表层是夯筑灰土,下层是夯筑素土。夯筑灰土主要由两种物质构成,胶结材料碳酸钙和石英骨料,胶结物系由人工烧制的石灰制备而成,其和骨料的质量比为1∶2.68。表明郑州商城遗址出土的夯筑灰土材料是二元的"三合土"结构,其比例非常接近明代灰、黄土、河砂1∶1∶1的三合土配比。说明当时施工者在胶结材料石灰与石英砂骨料的使用上已经具有一定经验,体现了商代工匠高超的建筑技艺。     

山西翼城考古发掘现场遗址表面腐蚀真菌的群落组成分析

考古发掘现场腐蚀微生物的鉴定与防治一直是考古学家和文物保护工作者面临的难点问题。截至目前,国内外对于文物出土现场微生物腐蚀信息和资料获取的研究还十分有限。本研究以山西翼城大河口西周墓地为例,探讨了考古发掘现场遗址表面腐蚀真菌的快速检测技术与可能的防治对策;通过现场直接镜检结合后期分子生物学检测技术,确定造成大河口西周墓地土遗址大量污染真菌的群落组成。研究发现,造成山西大河口墓地出土现场腐蚀的优势真菌类群主要隶属于假散囊菌属(Pseudeurotium)、链格孢属(Alternaria)和小不整球壳属(Plectosphaerella),它们分别占据了整个出土现场腐蚀真菌克隆文库中的23%、21%、和18%。竖直墓道发掘坑道内较高的温度和相对湿度以及较低的空气交换速率是造成发掘现场微生物大面积污染的主要环境因子。该研究为快速获取出土文物腐蚀微生物的群落信息提供了技术支撑,为后期腐蚀微生物的防治提供了理论依据。     

Building a high-resolution chronology at the Maya archaeological site of El Palmar,Mexico

This paper discusses how detailed analyses of archaeological contexts and macrobotanical remains are critical for building a high-resolution chronology in archaeological research. While the application of Bayesian modelling has improved chronology-building significantly, archaeologists have sometimes neglected different dates recovered from the same depositional layer without further scrutiny. Based on 78 radiocarbon samples, this problem is challenged by building a high-resolution chronology of the Guzmán Group, a small plaza compound of the ancient Maya city of El Palmar, Mexico. The results permit a deeper understanding of relationships between dynastic interactions and the emergence of non-royal elites in Classic Maya society.

Shallow geophysical survey at the archaeological site of San Miguel Tocuila,Basin of Mexico

A combined near surface geophysical survey conducted in San Miguel Tocuila show that geophysical methods offer the possibility to characterize and reconstruct the geometry of subsurface structures without destroying the deposits, providing a way to find solutions to the questions of archaeological or engineering significance. The survey consisted of the application magnetometry, seismic refraction tomography (SRT) and ground penetrating radar (GPR) within a depth range of 10 m. Before Spanier conquest San Miguel Tocuila was a very prominent suburb of the main Aztec ceremonial complex located on the eastern margin of Lake Texcoco, central Mexico, where several mounds known as Tlateles in Nahuatl language have been identified. Nowadays, the rapid expansion of Mexico City's metropolitan area within the last four decades has strongly influenced Tocuila's environment and has compromised several of its archaeological and ancient human settlements. This study shows how the high resolution imagining of non-invasive geophysical methodologies in addition with surface archaeological studies [Parsons, J.R., 1971. Prehistoric Settlement Patterns in the Texcoco Region, Mexico. Memoirs of the Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan, Number 3] provide different kinds of information that characterize the subsoil and a buried structure. Based on the history of the ancient settlements in the zone and considering the characteristics of shape and height of the structure, we interpreted that the subsurface images obtained depict a buried Tlatel which corresponds to a ceremonial–civic center of Late Aztec times.     

湖北郧县刘湾旧石器时代遗址发掘简报

刘湾旧石器时代遗址位于湖北省十堰市郧县杨溪铺镇刘湾村4组,埋藏于汉水左岸第Ⅲ级阶地上。其文化面貌有以下一些特点:石制品的岩性大类中以火成岩为多,种类以沉积岩为多;岩性多样,以脉石英为主;素材以河床中磨圆度较高的河卵石为主,石器的素材以砾石(石核)为主,以石片为素材的石器处于可忽略的地位;石制品的剥片和加工方式均为硬锤锤击法,没有发现砸击法等其它方法的产品;剥片时对石核的台面不进行预先修理;石器类型以砍砸器为主,其次为手斧、手镐,刮削器最少;石器的加工方式以单向加工的为多,但双向加工的石器也有相当的比例。刘湾旧石器时代遗址的发掘证明在汉水流域不仅有距今100万年的旧石器时代早期的"郧县人"文化,也有距今10～5万年的文化,汉水流域的远古文化是土生土长的文化。

Evaluation of the rate of wood degradation at the Iron Age archaeological site of Biskupin,Poland

A study was made of the degradation of archaeological Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) at the Iron Age archaeological site of Biskupin, Poland. Wood degradation was evaluated after 10 years of deposition of samples in different burial conditions (mineral soil, peat and water) and at different depths (25, 50 and 100 cm) at the location of the original archaeological wood from the Lusatian culture settlement. Changes in the wood samples were assessed on the basis of selected physical (maximum water content, basic density and porosity) and chemical (chemical composition, structure of cellulose and lignin) properties. The observed degradative changes were different for samples deposited in different locations of the archaeological site and at different depths. They relate mainly to carbohydrates—both cellulose and hemicelluloses—although the structure of lignin also underwent changes. The experiment using wood that had been degraded to a similar degree to the Biskupin wood enabled identification of the actual danger of degradation of the latter. It was found that the remains of the wooden structure of the Biskupin settlement are degrading, despite the favourable physicochemical conditions prevailing at the site, and it is necessary to take measures to prevent its further decomposition.
