洪泽湖大堤高良涧船闸段考古发掘简报

洪泽湖大堤高良涧船闸段的发掘揭示了土堤、砖工、石工三者之间的砌筑方式,尤其是北断面的发掘,显示了石工墙下的木桩基础结构,给洪泽湖大堤的研究提供了新的资料。     

新石器时代石环加工初探

制石工艺是原始社会生产力发展状况的重要表现,对制石工艺的研究也是我国史前研究的重要组成部分。20世纪80年代,邯郸百家村遗址曾发现了一处规模较大的专门加工石环的石器制造场,石环类制品与加工工具、坯料、半成品等一起大量出现。本文通过观察石环加工过程中遗留的一组石器,初步探讨了其生产流程和加工技术。     

石雕艺术家骆谨春

骆谨春(1890-1970),江宁县麒麟镇窦村人,出生于石工家庭。窦村南面的青龙山,石岩色青而坚,适于雕琢和做建筑基石。因而该村村民历代多是以采青龙山的青石雕凿为业,窦村也以石工著称于南京城。 骆谨春自幼即对村里名师们雕刻作品的高超技艺十分倾慕,立志要成为一名石雕巨     

蒋源成石雕老铺

蒋源成石铺位于福州南后街头的沃门路口,创始于清代同治年间。石铺的第一代主人名叫蒋山斗,原籍惠安县峰前乡。惠安是我省著名的石雕之乡,该县出产的花岗石,数量多,质地好,所以打石为生的工人也特别多。蒋山斗就出生在这样的石工之乡。时值中英鸦片战争之后,农村破产,经济萧条,惠安的石工纷纷四出谋生。蒋山斗就是这时来到福州的。     

一座因石头而生动的城市

从来没有一座城市,会像温岭这样在石头上倾注如此之多的精力。也从来没有一座城市,能够让原本普通的石头,变化出那么多美轮美奂的姿态。事实上,温岭的石文化历史由来已久,据史料记载,早在南宋时期,这里就有石雕艺术品制作,明清时更加兴盛,传统的石雕作品有石牌坊、石桥石墓等。台州民谣有言：＂黄岩蜜桔雁荡松,太平（温岭旧称太平县）石工天台钟＂,可见温岭石工和石雕早已盛名在外。     

试论商代金文的装饰图案特征

商代金文特别是族徽文字表现形式独特,构形近同图画,与青铜器上的装饰图案十分接近,若混于装饰图案中,则难于分辨。附于文字左右的装饰图案主要有三类:兽面纹、夔龙纹及鸟纹,而易与文字混淆的的装饰图案主要有目雷纹、双目纹、龟纹、蝉纹、火纹等等。     

地毯样式与地域文化

中国生产最多的传统地毯图案样式是:北京式、美术式、东方式,对这三种样式的地毯图案所呈现的截然不同的图案纹样和风格面貌进行比较,对地毯产生地区及使用地毯地区的人们所存在的不同审美习惯、美学思想、艺术主张,地毯装饰的室内环境等进行分析与比较,从而阐述不同风格特征的地毯图案是与不同的地域文化密切相关的。     

明式家具上的图案装饰

由于图案装饰并非明式家具的重点,因此在以往对明式家具的探研中,专门关于图案的探讨往往十分有限。本文从图案题材、图案布局和表现手法三个方面,来集中探讨明式家具上"少而精"的图案装饰,指出它不同于同时期其他工艺美术图案的独特之处。本文尤其着力于与古代早期玉器、青铜器上的图案进行比对,指出由于受到明代后期鉴古、崇古风潮的影响,相当一部分明式家具的图案属于"古风"类型,在题材与表现手法上都受到早期古代器物图案的影响。     

传统图案元素在现代艺术设计中的运用

传统图案元素是非常独特而富有魅力的民族文化产物,也是现代艺术设计中极为丰富的艺术资源。本文对传统图案元素的艺术价值以及传统图案与现代艺术设计相融合的优势进行了分析,同时也对传统图案元素在现代艺术设计中的具体运用进行了研究。     

广东英德九龙礼堂山动物群的发现

英德九龙礼堂山在英西峰林之中,距九龙镇仅两公里。这里发现了两个山洞,是在一打石场里发现的一大一小,大者约！叫平方米,小者约5平方米。两山洞均在半山腰,位置高度约为30米。但都已经遭到不同程度的破坏,而且化石出自于胶结层之中,这次发掘是一次抢救性发掘,由于洞穴堆积在发掘前已遭打石工人翻动过,推打石工人反映,开始发现此洞时,已有人入内取走不少化石,我们此次发掘已是检人家之所剩,尽管如此,我们发掘出来的动物化石种属仍然不少,标本亦很不错。鉴于化石层是一层央于两人钙板层之间的棕黄色亚粘土层之中,堆积厚薄不…     

汉画像石麒麟图像考略

汉画像石上的麒麟图像因其旁注榜题"騏驎"而成为比较可信的研究资料,其图像以鹿为原型、头部有"山"形角、个别身腹部刻饰羽翼等纹饰。这一图像拓展了鹿图像引魂升天的主题,在鹿的头部加上"山"形角,提升了鹿图像的神格地位,使之成为王者风范的象征。其身腹部刻饰羽翼则是中西文化交流成果的体现。     

汉代画像石刻中的拜谒礼俗探析

汉代的拜谒礼仪大量出现于社会生活的各个层面,并成为当时社会的一种风俗习尚。汉代画像石刻以特有的图像形式生动地再现了一些拜谒活动场面。文中对各类拜谒活动的渊源以及其在社会生活中的实际运用等作了进一步的探析。     

Center and periphery: The expansion and metamorphosis of Han culture

The cave reliefs of Mahao in Leshan City, Sichuan Province, have been world-famous for containing an early Buddhist statue. Yet, little attention has been paid to the co-existent stone reliefs sharing the tomb cave and the cultural significance thereof. Through the Qin and Han dynasties (221 BC-220 AD), the ancient Ba and Shu civilizations in what is Sichuan today gradually merged into the Chinese civilization, of which the Han civilization is the main body, on the one hand, the Han civilization exerted a strong influence on its south-western counterparts, as is revealed by the stone reliefs in the tomb cave; on the other hand, the south-western region was apparently assimilated into the Chinese civilization while concurrently absorbing elements of even farther civilizations (e.g., those in Central and South Asia). The early image of Buddha appeared against a wide cultural background.

Account of an Informed Bat Exclusion at the Temple of Deir el-Shelwit,Luxor, Egypt

Abstract

The conservation of the painted Roman-era reliefs in the temple of Deir el Shelwit in Luxor, Egypt, was recently initiated by the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE). As a critical step in a series of preliminary preventive conservation measures undertaken at the temple, a resident bat colony was excluded to control further deterioration of the painted reliefs and stone fabric (Figure 1). In consultation with a bat biologist, a comprehensive humane, low-tech emergency exclusion programme was designed and implemented, which included roost location, behavioural surveys, species identification, sealing of building openings, bat exclusion and the design of an alternate roost site. This programme may serve as a useful example for other conservation projects in Luxor, since it provides much-needed information on the behaviour of local bats, as well as relevant insights gained from the exclusion procedure.

Study on the lithology of stone chimes (stone musical instruments in ancient China) and Lingbi stone

The oldest extant musical instruments in the world are stone chimes. This music was created by the ‘eight tones’ that could be produced by these ‘stone’ voices. Although many of these stone chimes have been unearthed from sites predating the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, their discussion in archaeological reports is usually not very thorough. In this paper, the ancient and modern samples are analysed from the point of view of lithology. The aim is to explore how the ancients chose to make these stones, and to check that the type of stone from which these ancient Chinese stone chimes are made is actually those recorded in previous studies. The results show that most of the ancient stone chimes in China are made of limestone. These chimes required a material with a single, homogeneous and compact mineral composition. Lingbi chimes (a kind of ‘lithophone’ produced in Lingbi county, China, are pure in composition and have a fine microcrystalline structure, which is the best choice for making stone chimes. This paper makes a systematic study of the lithology of Chinese stone chimes. The results supplement a significant lacuna in the study of ‘lithophone’ and ancient stone instruments both in China and on a more global scale.
