Multi-Isotope Investigations for Scientific Characterisation and Provenance Implication of Banded Travertines from Tripolis Antique City (Denizli–Turkey)

The coloured stones used in buildings and monuments were an indicator of power and wealth during the ancient times. In this study, Tripolis city samples have been compared with Tripolis quarry samples in order to recognise the provenance of the banded travertine blocks in the ancient city. The banded travertine samples have similar mineral compositions and mainly consist of calcite with minor amounts of dolomite, aragonite, clay and iron oxide minerals. These results are also supported by CRS studies. Calcite is in the form of needle-shaped crystals ranging between 0.163–1.418?mm (in city) and 0.303–1.270?mm (in quarry). Tripolis banded travertine samples show the similar compositional spread in terms of major oxide, trace elements. δ¹³C_V-PDB values of banded travertines range from 1.93 to 5.25‰ (in city) and 2.99 to 3.99‰ (in quarry), δ¹⁸O_V-PDB values change between (?16.93)–(?10.08) ‰ and (?15.93)–(?13.01)‰, respectively. The U–Th radiometric ages are determined between ～267 and 9?ka in Tripolis city samples and ～350 and 2?ka in Tripolis quarry samples. The minero-petrographic, geochemical, C–O and U–Th isotope results fairly matched with each other. It seems highly probable that the banded travertines in Tripolis city were extracted from the Tripolis quarry, which is located at the northeast of the antique city with a distance of 3?km.     

由秦俑二号坑形制所引起的思考

本文通过对二号俑坑建筑形制的分析,认为:二号俑坑的门道有11条,但作用各不相同,其中6、7号门道使用时间较短,这可能与俑坑内东西向的格局有关。开间分为放置有俑的廊道和不放置俑马,仅起通道作用,用完后用夯土填实二种。第4过洞的形制与其周围的过洞形制不同,其埋藏的内涵可能也不同。第9过洞与第10、第11过洞用纵木隔开,互不相通。把它们作为一个军事单元的推断仍需要推敲。二号俑坑的互不相通的格局与其焚毁情况较轻的状况也应该有很大的联系。     

20世纪五六十年代中国国防工业优先发展研究

新中国成立之初,受近代中国屡遭列强欺凌影响,同时基于国家安全与统一的现实考量,党和政府把大力发展国防工业作为工业化建设的重要内容。围绕建立独立、完整国防工业体系的目标,确立立足国内开发和生产武器的产业政策,集中规划,统一管理;重视技术引进、吸收和自主创新;并确定重点领域,加速尖端武器的研制、生产。同时,以"两弹一星"精神为核心的军工文化提供了巨大的精神动力和激励作用,有助于国防科技自主创新能力的培育。新中国在短时间内建立起比较完备的国防工业体系,基本实现全部常规武器的进口替代,并在尖端武器领域实现重大突破。不论纵向比较还是横向比较,这一阶段新中国国防工业都呈现快速发展的态势。     

淮南交子与南宋两淮地区的财政运作——兼与东南会子比较

已有研究常将多种南宋纸币视为性质接近的货币,但不同南宋纸币因财政运作的塑造却存在性质和功能上的差异.以两淮地区为例,淮南交子看似是当地的区域性纸币,却始终作为推行铁钱化政策、调节铁钱数量的财政工具,在盐榷、军俸等财政活动和民间交易中受限,不具有完整的货币流通职能.全国性纸币东南会子更深入地参与两淮货币流通,其重要性随着南宋后期财政、军事状况的变化而与日俱增.区域性纸币与全国性纸币的差异并非仅在于流通范围和数量等表象,更本质的区别由其在财政运作中的角色所决定.     

日本对华经济战中被忽视的一面——日本在华公债政策研究(1931-1945)

在沦陷区发行公债,隐性劫掠中国资财,是日本侵华战争期间(1931-1945)实行对华经济战、以逞其"以战养战"战略企图的一个重要工具.日本在华公债政策随战局的变化而变化,大致经过了有限度发行--扩大发行--无限度滥发三个阶段.发行中,所有公债种类均有发行,表现出公债发行与伪币发行"有机"结合、发行的强制性和发行的欺诈性等特点.日本在华公债政策不仅给中国造成了难以估量的经济损失,而且给日后中国的经济发展埋下了严重隐患.
