通天神器

考古学家在墨西哥的火山湖中有了惊天发现：他们从海拔4216米高处的冰冷湖水中打捞出八件木制权杖,状如从天而降的闪电。这些权杖很可能曾经用来召唤阿兹特克的雨神——特拉洛克。16世纪初,西班牙殖民者征服墨西哥后,殖民地史学家曾经记录当地居民有旱时祈雨、涝则求霁的风俗。

通天巖

通天巖在赣州市西北約十公里,現有公路可以通達。對通天巖这一名詞,有三種說法:一種是僅指中部一壁的一半,一種是指中部的許多巖,一種說是指本區整個部分。全巖地形為三个山抝及四個山脊所組成,略如人之指掌,向東南展開,最高處距公路二百餘公尺,寺殿龛穴都羅列在山腰里。     

石楼-绥德类型管窥

石楼—绥德类型的遗物于20世纪30年代即有发现,但见诸系统的报道是在新中国成立以后。其中绝大多数应为墓葬中所出(具体情况见表一)。石楼—绥德类型以其文化内含的复杂与一些鲜明的特征,曾吸引不少学者对它进行探讨。但迄今尚未取得一致意见。今笔者拟在诸家研究的基础上,对石

尼木河畔的故事

在很早很早以前,人们认为青稞有雄雌之分,而尼木的青稞都是雌性的,藏语称“乃木”,即母青稞之意,尼木因此得名。尼木的先民为什么把青稞认为都是雌性的呢,并以此命名家乡地名,大概是先民对雌性的刻意溢美,因为尼木的青稞特别肥美。由于译音的差别,尼木在历史上曾有多种称谓:元代译为“聂摩”,明代译为“聂母”,清代以后,又译作     

查尔斯河畔的波士顿

The Middle Stone Age south of the Limpopo River

Current interest in the origins of anatomically modernHomo sapiens has focused attention on early modern human remains and related archaeological materials associated with the southern African Middle Stone Age. While the anatomically modern status and a Last Interglacial or later age for the human fossils enjoy general support, issues related to the definition of the Middle Stone Age, its dating, and the interpretation of human behavior lack consensus. Available evidence suggests that the anatomically modern human skeleton appeared well before many aspects of the subsistence and symbolic behavior that characterize recent foragers and that Middle Stone Age technology persisted longer in southern Africa than its northern hemisphere counterpart.     

The Pleistocene Later Stone Age south of the Limpopo River

The earliest Later Stone Age (LSA) industries from southern Africa are microlithic and unstandardized and include the bipolar technique. The dating of these industries is controversial and the earliest microlithic industry is said to occur at Border Cave at about 39,000 B.P. By 18,000 B.P. a bladelet tradition was established and this was replaced in many parts of southern Africa, at about 12,000 B.P., by a widespread and prolific nonmicrolithic industry, characterized by side-struck flakes. The late Pleistocene environment was colder than present, with particularly harsh conditions during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), between about 20,000 and 18,000 B.P. Populations may have been isolated because archaeological visibility is low during the LGM and decreases further after the LGM. After 13,000 B.P. there is a dramatic increase in sites and this implies that there may have been widespread colonization of territory previously unoccupied for tens of thousands of years. By the end of the late Pleistocene there was a change in hunting patterns, in parts of southern Africa, from an emphasis on the capture of large, gregarious grazers to an emphasis on small, solitary browsers. Social complexity increased during the late Pleistocene, and by 12,000 B.P. it seems possible that Stone Age people were observing some social practices recorded historically among Bushmen (San).

Hydraulic Resistance by the River Red Gum,Eucalyptus camaldulensis,in Ephemeral Desert Streams

Channel roughness in desert streams is generated by the colonisation of beds and banks by trees including the river red gum, Eucalyptus carnaldulensis. Often growing densely over the bed surface, these trees contribute channel roughness which is distributed through the flow; the effects are heightened by substantial barriers of flood-transported debris which lodge against trunks and branches, offering additional obstruction to water movement. Bed scour often occurs around such obstacles. Field mapping of channels in the Barrier Range, western NSW, where E. camaldulensis growth is common, has permitted the quantification of channel roughness. Results suggest that just under half of the total channel roughness may be contributed by in-channel vegetation, the remainder coming from boundary friction effects. Site-to-site variations in vegetation density are great and assessment of flood discharges and sediment fluxes in these streams without due incorporation of a roughness correction could result in substantial errors of overprediction.

“敬天”与“射天”:上古夏、夷族群融合之殇

上古中国西部族群多源于氐羌,其酋豪曰"大",死则火葬,灵魂"登遐"升至山上(祖山)谓之"天"。甲金文"天"字即"大"上加一横或圆圈,表示在上、上面、神灵之意,是以又有"天在山中"之说。文献如《墨子》《荀子》《吕氏春秋》等记载西方羌戎之人对于被俘本身并不特别担忧,最为担心的是死后灵魂能否"登遐"升天,即回归祖山圣地,此即西部族群的"敬天"传统。上古人认为族与族之战也是神与神之争,因此东方殷人、夷人西征夏、周要"射天"、射山、搏木偶"天神"。这个习俗远可追溯到尧时的羿"射日(天)",晚则战国宋王偃还在"射天笞地",都是对于西部族群神灵之"天"的厌胜之术,所谓"威服天下鬼神"。汉民族融合早期主要是西部诸夏族群与东部商夷族群之间交合的历史,长期交往中伴随着征战与杀伐,最后形成血的凝聚。新石器时代以来考古学文化区系的逐渐明晰,让我们进一步看清了这一点。
