20世纪初期芬兰人马达汉入疆考察细节及其分析

1906年8月,芬兰籍职业军人马达汉接受俄军总参谋部的军事任务,组成一个以自己为主的小型考察队,从中亚进入中国新疆境内进行军事情况收集活动,历时一年两个月。到达北京后,他进入俄国驻北京公使馆,整理完成了呈送上级的军事考察报告(含附图)。本文注重研究考察队在新疆境内的许多细节:如何从军事地形着眼,如何使用仪器,如何广泛取材形成一部具有军事情报价值的日记体著作。百年后这部著作的军事情报时效性已大为降低,但仍可作为颇具参考价值的历史地理资料加以使用。     

论《新安志补》的价值

明代方信撰修的《新安志补》,是一部特殊形态的方志,在方志史上有一定的地位。它收集保存了大量有用资料,并在资料剪裁、体例安排、建构类目等方面比较严谨,还有史料史实的钩沉考辨以及浓厚鲜明的修志观念,都决定了这部志补具有较高的学术和实用价值,反映出明代方志观念和体例上的新变化。     

荆门罗坡岗墓地研究

罗坡岗墓地是一处战国晚期楚遗民"士"级族墓地,至少包含九个"核心家族",起码可分出两个支族。可识别出多组夫妻并穴合葬墓、兄弟辈并葬墓、父子辈墓等。罗坡岗墓地存在士级墓葬和普通族人墓葬两个阶层,存在随葬"鼎"核心组合的上层系统和随葬"鬲"核心组合的平民系统。墓地强烈的军事色彩,表明当时还存在家族式的基层军事组织。墓地的主体面貌为楚文化,说明秦国占领区基层楚人的文化传统没有普遍地改变。

Luminescence dating of prehistoric hearths in Northeast Qinghai Lake and its paleoclimatic implication

Archeological research has been trying to provide evidence relevant to understanding both the timing of and processes responsible for human colonization of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Hearth is one of the most extensive, important, and typical prehistoric humanity activity evidence on the QTP. However, there are a number of hearths lacking charcoal material because of the wind and water erosion. Fortunately, most of these hearths can be dated by luminescence dating on the remnant sediments around the hearth. In this study, 18 optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) samples from 14 hearths in Yandongtai site (YDT) and Bronze Wire site (BW) in the northeast of Qinghai Lake area were systematically dated. The OSL ages range from 6.8 ± 0.7 to 14.4 ± 1.2 ka. There is a good agreement between OSL dating results and charcoal ages during the last deglaciation period, which indicates that OSL method has great potential in dating hearth on QTP. Combined with the previous dating results from other hearths, the age of hearths concentrates in 11–13 ka BP, i.e., the Younger Dryas (YD) chronozone. The increased number of hearths indicates reinforced colonization in the Qinghai Lake area during YD cold event, implying that the cold climate during YD event was not severe enough to hinder the inhabitation of prehistoric humanity at an elevation of 3.2 km.     

宁夏固原南塬水厂唐墓M4随葬马骨研究

2015年,宁夏文物考古研究所对固原市南塬水厂墓地进行抢救性发掘。其中,唐代墓葬M4出土两具马骨,一具为成年母马,一具为幼年个体,二马均被肢解,可能与遣奠用牲有关。这批马骨为研究隋唐时期墓葬礼仪用牲状况和唐代民间养马业的发展状况提供了重要资料。     

论辉县孟庄商城的年代

辉县孟庄商城为10余万平方米的小型城邑,平面近长方形,其二里岗文化遗迹遗物丰富。本文根据《辉县孟庄》发掘报告,比较了遗址房基、水井、灰沟、灰坑、墓葬等五类遗迹在各时期的分布情况,认为孟庄商城在二里岗下层二期已经作为城邑被二里岗文化的精英使用,在二里岗上层一期、二期持续使用,殷墟时期则失去了城邑的功能和地位。     

枣阳郭家庙曾国墓地出土石英珠的初步研究

本文分析讨论了枣阳郭家庙曾国墓地出土的石英珠的化学成份和制造工艺,探讨了其制造工艺与楚国玻璃制造工艺之间的关系,认为至迟在西周晚期,随枣走廊一带的工匠们已经掌握了石英珠的制造技术,对后来楚国玻璃制造业的兴起,起到了直接重要的作用。     

明代蒙古部落大批入据青海考论

本文考证明代蒙古部落大批入据青海这一纷乱、复杂的历史过程,深入分析多方面矛盾交织的内、外因,对厘定明代中后期这一影响巨大的西北边疆少数民族迁徙事件的历史真相有重要史学价值,同时对当代处理民族关系问题和民族宗教问题也有一定借鉴意义。     

“仑”声字意义辨析兼论《诗经》和《礼记》的两处误读

“论”伦”等从“仑”得声之字,其取义均与其声符有关。前人虽有注意于此,但因其对“仑”之本义理解有误,故在典籍训释中颇多歧误。本拟从字源上对这些字作一番辨析,并更正部分献注释上的谬误。
