Exploring the Source of the Yarlung Zangbo River

The hydro energy reserves of the Yarlung Zangbo River stand at 113.47 million square meters, ranking second in China and next only to the Yangtze River. The Yarlung Zangbo River Valley is the richest region of Tibet, with its upper, middle and lower reaches running through the entire Tibetan region. Over 20 rivers converge along the upper reaches. The birthplace of the Yarlung Zangbo River is the Gyima Yangzoin Glacier within Zongba County of the Shigatse region. The source arises fro…

珠江流域稻作农业起源的再思考

农业起源一向被作为中石器时代的重要课题和新石器时代开始的标志而倍受考古学家的关注.在稻作起源的探索中,珠江流域被许多学者认为是中国乃至亚洲栽培稻的起源中心之一.借助于农业起源动力机制的理论探讨,认为稻作起源的＂华南中心说＂并不成立,无论是理论分析还是目前的考古材料,还不足以证明珠江流域是我国稻作农业起源的中心.     

淮汉政治区域的形成与淮河作为南北政治分界线的起源

淮河能成为中国历史上最稳定的南北政治分界线,是周代形成了"淮汉"政治区域的结果。西周以前,淮河流域和汉水流域间缺乏密切联系。西周立国后,淮汉两流域内王朝、夷人、土著等势力相互博弈,区域政治中心不断靠拢,人群间交往加强,最终在春秋时形成了一个统一的"淮汉"政治区域。这一区域长期稳定存在,使淮河南北形成了不同的政治文化传统,淮河从此成为中国历史上最稳定的南北政治分界线。"淮汉"政治区域形成,不仅促使中国古代政治格局由东西向转变为南北向,还推动了上古政治由血缘关系向地缘关系变革。

江西李渡烧酒作坊遗址盐分来源探讨

李渡烧酒作坊遗址表面聚集了大量的须状结晶物和白色致密膜状物质。在须状结晶物区域,土体表面出现了严重的疏松现象;而在白色致密膜状物质区域,土体表面未见明显的疏松现象。经检测分析,须状结晶物主要为硫酸镁的水合物,而白色致密膜状物质主要为硫酸钙的水合物。遗址表面的高盐分严重威胁着遗址的安全,因此,需要研究清楚盐分来源,以便为下一步的保护提供理论基础。研究表明,硫酸镁盐在吸失水过程中发生巨大的体积变化,是遗址岩、土体不断疏松劣化的主要原因。通过对遗址介质的可溶盐检测分析,查明盐分主要为酿酒生产过程中形成,从而为后续保护方法的研究提供了依据。

Pomp and Circumstance at the University: The Origin of the Honorary Degree

Opinion on the age and origin of the honorary degree differs according to the region under study and the criteria used to define what precisely constitutes an honorary promotion. By applying a flexible definition of the honorary degree, and combining existing research on the background and origin of early honorary degrees in different regions, this article aims to offer an answer to the question of the origin of the tradition of conferring honorary degrees. The giving and receiving of honorary degrees emerged in a variety of situations. Such degrees were awarded by popes and emperors – or their representatives – who wished to honour their ‘disciples’. They were also granted to meritorious professionals seeking a way around the strict rules for academic promotion via a promotion in absentia. And they were granted by universities wishing to benefit from the prestige of the celebrities they honoured, or which offered these degrees to professors without a doctoral degree, as a practical answer to the need for academic ceremonies and/or by way of thanks to their friends and benefactors. The emergence of the honorary promotion can only be explained through a combination of all these factors.

长江流域早期玉文化初论(上)

舒城九里墩墓年代与国别考

舒城九里墩墓中出土有一批战国早期青铜器物,下葬年代为公元前445年之后。墓中所出的青铜礼器具有典型的楚文化特征,墓主人应为战国早期楚国贵族,今舒城可能为其封地;墓中虽亦出蔡、钟离二国器物,但此二国距舒城甚远、时代亦不符,可能为楚灭蔡、钟离二国后所得战利品。

Lightening the Load: Five 19th-Century River Lighters at Erith on the River Thames, UK

Five early-19th-century Thames lighters, up to 22 m long, in an excellent state of preservation, were recorded during pre-construction archaeological works. The lighters had been used as the main structural elements in a mid-19th-century river-wall. The lighters and river-wall are described, and aspects of the construction discussed. The craft exemplify utilitarian trends in early industrial age boatbuilding, and were essential in the development of the international port. Although comparatively recent in date, details of their 'bottom-up' construction are not well known.
