探寻神秘的摩梭人

<正>早就听说有走婚一族的说法,鉴于好奇,本刊记者特地来到云南昆明民族村“摩梭之家”一探究竟。记者在“摩梭之家”看到,摩梭人所居住房子通常是由四栋两层楼房组成的四合院,分为正房、花楼、经堂和门楼。据当地摩梭人的说法,正房,是家庭集中饮食、议事、祭祀及老人儿童住宿场所,因而其结构较为复杂。通常正房的右边是厢房,左边是娘舅、表妹、姨妈姐妹住的地方。而花楼是阿夏房,即女儿的闺房,是将来给女儿走婚用的。

ANCIENT WORKSHOPS AND ANCIENT 'ART'

Summary.   There is a tension between the understanding of the term 'workshop' in art historical scholarship and the actual locations of production unearthed by archaeology. Yet countless ancient works of art bear traces of their own production, and many working sites have produced unfinished products. The differing approaches can be combined, to a greater extent than they have been, to attain a more comprehensive understanding of ancient art production. A first step is an exhaustive analysis of the interactions between the provenance, processing, inherent quality, logistics, presentation and preservation of any material used in art production. But the products themselves also have much to reveal about their conditions of production.

SAMPLING ANCIENT TOWNS

Summary. Until comparatively recently the archaeological study of ancient towns had been largely conditioned by urban development or individual research interests. This is especially true of Mediterranean sites whose especial richness has generated most attention upon their monumental aspect. Such work provides us with only partial glimpses of urban landscapes which are by definition complex and dynamic. An increasing awareness of this in recent years has led to archaeologists explicitly adopting sampling based strategies when confronting ancient towns. This paper attempts to outline the sampling-based research design employed at a multi-period town site in southern Spain. The integrated use of topographical survey, systematic surface sherding and geophysics provided a valuable insight into the spatial patterning of surface and sub-surface archaeological features. This allowed a hypothesis about the ancient topography of the town to be proposed and for it to be successfully tested by open-area excavation.
