生态襄阳那些鲜为人知的古山寨

<正>汉水在陕南与鄂西北的秦岭、大巴山余脉间奔腾跌宕,经由南水北调中线源头水源地丹江口,进入湖北襄阳。襄阳是一座历史文化名城,位于湖北省西北部,居汉水中游,与豫、渝、陕毗邻。人们知道襄阳,更多的是因为这里2800多年的建城历史和灿烂的文化,其中,诸葛亮隐居襄阳时写就的《隆中对策》更是闻名遐迩。然而,在鄂西北茫茫荆山之中,更藏着许多鲜为人知的秘境。     

区域聚落形态研究

发现区域聚落形态是一项重要的研究,也是令人振奋、挑战智慧的工作。区域考古学看来总是会产生新的、始料未及的洞见,它具有持久的价值,并对不同规模的其他研究是基础性的,而且它也是（或者说应该是）遗产保护的根本所在。     

The Muslim Settlement of Late Ottoman and Mandatory Palestine: Comparison with Jewish Settlement Patterns

In the late Ottoman and Mandatory periods, Palestine's rural landscape underwent a great transformation. This study examines how the Muslim population expanded beyond its traditional inhabitation in the highlands and settled the fluid inventory of marginal lands in the coastal plains and unpopulated valleys of Palestine. In settling these marginal landscapes their settlement dovetailed with Jewish settlement patterns. While most studies have emphasized the competitive aspect of this process, examining Zionist and Arab national claims, this research points to a different aspect of this new settlement—mainly how much the Jewish and Muslim settlement patterns mirrored one another and how they were part of similar physical processes and complemented one another. Relying on censuses, aerial photographs, and period maps, as well as other archival sources, this is the first systematic research to examine the full extent of new Muslim settlements in Palestine in the late Ottoman and Mandatory periods, and to draw parallels between this phenomenon and the settlement endeavors of the Zionists.     

蓟聚落起源与蓟城兴起

近年来学术界围绕蓟城兴起与发展问题展开了热烈的讨论,其中尤其值得注意的是燕与蓟二城关系的歧异认识。本文在已有工作的基础上,充分利用古代文献和考古发现,从蓟与蓟城、燕与燕都、燕都蓟城及蓟城兴起的地理条件等方面阐述了燕蓟二城关系的一孔之见。

The Scale and Impact of Viking Settlement in Northumbria

DISCOVERIES AT the Viking winter camp at Torksey indicate that the armies that invaded Anglo-Saxon England in the late 9th century were much larger than is often assumed, and that a literal reading of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle’s assessment of the size of Viking fleets may, after all, have been correct. Furthermore, study of the Torksey metalwork assemblage has allowed the identification of the archaeological signature of the Viking Great Army, and when applied to Cottam, it confirms the identification of an initial phase of raiding by an element of the Army, followed shortly thereafter by settlement represented by the development of a hybrid Anglo-Scandinavian culture. Taken together, over 25 categories of non-ferrous artefacts are diagnostic of Viking or Anglo-Scandinavian activity in Northumbria. Applying this model to sites, largely known only from metal-detecting, we can observe a common pattern. At the majority of sites, a large and fairly standardised middle Anglo-Saxon finds assemblage is succeeded by just a few Viking finds, which we attribute to raiding following Halfdan’s return to Northumbria with part of the Great Army in AD 876. At a smaller number of sites, assemblages of Anglo-Scandinavian finds relate to the establishment of settlements by the new landowners. The overall picture is of major settlement disruption and dislocation of existing land holdings and populations in the late-9th century. This demonstrates, for the first time from archaeological evidence, the scale and impact of Viking activity in Northumbria.     

The Norse Settlement of the Faroe Islands

THIS ARTICLE is based upon archaeological evidence from Lübeck, the capital of the Hanseatic League on the Baltic Sea. Discussed are examples of the material culture and the environment of different socio-economic quarters of the town and their transformation between the 13th and the 16th century. Evidence of the town's topography, urban plots and house-building is presented, and of everyday life including handicrafts, trade and food supply.
