玉石覆面研究

玉石覆面是玉敛葬的重要形式之一,本文在型式分析的基础上,对玉石覆面的分期和各期特征、定名与功用、产生与消亡的原因等问题作了深入探讨.认为,玉覆面出现于西周中期,西汉前期以后消亡.形制上经历了从简单到复杂的变化,西汉前期之后,逐渐演变成较为简单的窍塞和更复杂的玉衣这两种形式.玉石覆面具有殓尸、防止尸体腐烂、引导灵魂升天和体现身份等级的功用,一般只有贵族才能使用.

An Early Permian brachiopod–gastropod fauna from the Calytrix Formation,Barbwire Terrace,Canning Basin,Western Australia

Taboada, A.C., Mory, A.J., Shi, G.R., Haig, D.W. & Pinilla, M.K., 12.11.2014. An Early Permian brachiopod–gastropod fauna from the Calytrix Formation, Barbwire Terrace, Canning Basin, Western Australia. Alcheringa 39, xxx–xxx. ISSN 0311-5518

A small brachiopod–gastropod fauna from a core close to the base of the Calytrix Formation within the Grant Group includes the brachiopods Altiplecus decipiens (Hosking), Myodelthyrium dickinsi (Thomas), Brachythyrinella narsarhensis (Reed), Neochonetes (Sommeriella) obrieni Archbold, Tivertonia barbwirensis sp. nov. and the gastropod Peruvispira canningensis sp. nov. The fauna has affinities with that of the late Sakmarian?early Artinskian Nura Nura Member directly overlying the Grant Group in other parts of the basin but, as with all lower Cisuralian (and Pennsylvanian) glacial strata in Western Australia, its precise age remains poorly constrained, especially in terms of correlation to international stages. Although the Calytrix fauna lies within the Pseudoreticulatispora confluens Palynozone, the only real constraint on its age (and that of the associated glacially influenced strata) is from Sakmarian (Sterlitamakian) and stratigraphically younger faunas. A brief review of radiometric ages from correlative strata elsewhere in Gondwana shows that those ages need to be updated. The presence of Asselian strata and the position of the Carboniferous?Permian boundary remain unclear in Western Australia.

瑞宝阁藏金铜佛像研究 (四)尼泊尔风格造像(9-18世纪)

尼泊尔位于喜马拉雅山中段南麓,国土面积不大,多为山地。北与我国西藏接壤,西南连接印度。公元前6世纪,佛教创始人释迦牟尼就诞生于尼泊尔西北部迦毗罗卫的蓝毗尼（今尼泊尔南部提罗拉科附近的洛明达）。公元前3世纪,在印度孔雀王朝（约前321-前187年）第三世阿育王的推广下,佛教在尼泊尔正式传播。     

甘肃省陇南境内石窟寺概述

甘肃是中国石窟艺术最为集中的地区之一,地处甘肃东南部的陇南地区由于地理位置偏僻,社会经济发展水平相对落后,石窟的开凿较省内其他地区偏晚,始于北魏末年,发展于隋唐阶段,兴盛于明清时期。其窟龛形制、造像题材受到了天水麦积山石窟等毗邻地区佛教艺术的影响,且区域内呈现出不平衡的地区分布特征,明清时期这种局面得以改变,并最终形成以儒、释、道三教为核心的多神信仰体系。     

后晓荣《秦代政区地理》简评

<正>由于资料不足,秦代政区的研究是不容易的。以前所依据的,主要还是《汉书·地理志》那样的文献,可是《地理志》主要说的是西汉晚期成帝元延、绥和间的政区与人口形势,不是秦代情况的直接记录。秦代短阼,相应地政区变化也就显得剧烈,历史的倏忽,也增加了研究的难度。近年一些考古文物材料的发表,一定程度上可以弥     

抗战内迁与沿海省份内地城市的现代化——以福建为个案

在以往的抗战内迁研究中,人们多关注中国沿海地区政府机构、工厂、学校、银行等向西南地区的迁移及其影响.但内迁还有一个重要构成部分,即在本省范围内的迁移.抗战爆发后,随着省会迁往内地山区,东南沿海省份的工厂、学校、银行等纷纷迁移到本省内地山区,给当地社会发展注入了新的活力,对内地城市现代化以及本省区域内城市体系的变动产生了深远的影响,为抗战的最终胜利提供了支持.然而内地城市的这种发展随着抗战结束后的回迁而又趋于沉寂.本文以福建省为例,对此做一初步探讨.

The Shuidonggou site complex: new excavations and implications for the earliest Late Paleolithic in North China

The initial Late Paleolithic, said to appear between 40 and 30 kya in eastern Asia, is defined by the appearance of many innovations. These archaeological indicators include the appearance of more refined stone tool making techniques (e.g., include the appearance of blade and microblade technology), complex hearth construction, use of pigments and personal ornamentation, as well as worked faunal implements such as bone and antler tools. We report here new findings from a multidisciplinary research project conducted at the Shuidonggou (Choei-tong-keou) site complex in northern China, a series of localities that date from the initial Late Paleolithic to the Neolithic.
