济南大辛庄商代遗址的性质问题

济南大辛庄遗址是一座自商代前期后段至商代后期的大型文化遗址。该遗址包含典型的商文化和传统的岳石文化两种因素。自商代早期后段商夷联盟解体后,大辛庄一带始终是商族和东夷族政治、军事活动频繁,文化相互渗透和影响深刻的重要地带。大辛庄一带极有可能为商朝经略东方地区的重要军事基地。     

明代雁北地区城堡的职能与选址特征

本文总结出明代雁北地区存在政区治所、居中应援城堡、长城边堡与收保之堡等四种城堡类型,并指出,正是因为其职能与地理位置的差异,导致不同类型的城堡在后世有着不同的发展道路。卫所与州县治所延续其政区驻地职能,在今天大多仍为市、县与建制镇驻地;居中应援城堡由于地处通衢,农业条件较好,在今天为乡镇驻地;而后两种类型的城堡随着民族关系的缓和,军事职能逐渐淡化,在今天基本上成为普通村落,很多甚至遭到废弃。     

The earliest high-fired glazed ceramics in China: the composition of the proto-porcelain from Zhejiang during the Shang and Zhou periods (c. 1700–221 BC)

Bodies and glazes of 54 proto-porcelain sherds and 18 non proto-porcelain samples from Shang and Zhou periods production sites in Deqing, Zhejiang province were analysed by EPMA-WDS. The results indicate that the bodies of all samples were made from local raw material – porcelain stone, with the proto-porcelain samples being made from clay of higher quality. Wood ashes, high in lime and low in potash, were intentionally applied to the proto-porcelain samples, resulting in the formation of lime-rich glazes whose compositions were determined by a temperature-controlled mechanism. In contrast, kiln fragments and furniture show a potash-rich fuel vapour glaze, which formed unintentionally during use of the kiln. The firing temperature for most of the proto-porcelain glazes is around the maturing temperature for typical more recent lime glazes, showing that the potters were already at such an early time able to attain sufficiently high temperature in their kilns.     

医学考古学视域的商周医患关系初探

商周时期是中国医患关系发展转变的重要阶段。商、西周时期,巫、医关系密切,巫医掌握着主要的治病救人之法,身份等级较高,神权与王权成为维系医患关系的主要因素。至春秋战国时期,医学摆脱巫术而独立发展,出现了许多民间医者。走下神坛的医者需不断提高自身医疗技术,医术高低成为维系医患关系的重要因素。这一新型的医患关系为后世所继承,促进了中国古代医学不断发展。     

郑州商城青铜大方鼎造型与纹饰研究

郑州商城的三处青铜器窖藏共出土了八件青铜大方鼎,目前学界一般认为铜方鼎的原型与陶方鼎有关。但通过造型与纹饰的细节分析,可发现大方鼎的原型应为方形木质容器,乳钉纹带模仿了容器边套、箍圈上的成排铆钉。南顺城街窖藏的四件大方鼎,其纹饰的演变体现出从模仿铆钉原型到向装饰化发展的过程。     

安阳地区西周时期考古学文化分期研究

本文在提出安阳地区商周分界判断标准的基础上,新辨识出一批重要的西周遗存。在分析陶器形制和器类组合特征的基础上,将安阳地区西周时期陶器分为早、中、晚三期,初步建立安阳地区西周时期陶器分期年代框架。     

Making Space for Energy: Wasteland Development,Enclosures, and Energy Dispossessions

This paper analyzes why and how wasteland development narratives persist through an evaluation of wasteland development policies in India from 1970 to present. Integrating critical scholarship on environmental narratives and enclosures, I find that narratives of wastelands as “empty” spaces available for “improvement” continue because they are metaphors for entrenched struggles between the government's shifting visions of “improvement” and communities whose land use practices contradict these logics. Since the 1970s, “improvement” has meant establishing different types of tree plantations on wastelands to ostensibly provide energy security. These projects have dispossessed land users by enclosing common property lands and by providing forms of energy incommensurate with local needs, a trend I term “energy dispossessions”. Factors enabling energy dispossessions include the government's increased attempts to establish public–private partnerships to carry out “improvement” and a “field of observation” constructed to obscure local livelihoods. Unveiling these logics will help to problematize and contest future iterations of wasteland development.     

The Great War of Enclosure: Securing the Skies

Swarms of police drones, fleets of overhead delivery bots, and flocks of private security drones are set to multiply the complex interfaces between state, capital, and sense. This paper explores the military and economic enclosure of the atmosphere by drones. For centuries, capitalist enclosure has privatized and secured common spaces: territorializing new power relations into the soil. Enclosure now operates through an increasingly atmospheric spatiality. The birth of airpower enabled new vertical regimes of state power, capital accumulation, and violence. Now, drones are materializing both intimate and pervasive colonizations of local, national, and international airspace. Crucially, this discloses new morphologies and ontologies of urban (in)security, in which an atmospheric state polices deterritorialized aerial circulations. Such a reenchanted atmosphere collapses the geopolitical and geoeconomic in uncertain robotic orbits. This paper, which connects past and present, is driven by a deeper concern for the existential dimensions of dronified skyscapes, subjects, and violence.     

浙江省博物馆收藏的一批商周青铜器

浙江省博物馆收藏有一批商周青铜器,包括鼎、簋、爵、斝、觚等,来源不一。本文对其中15件礼器作了初步整理与分析,认为它们在器型、纹饰、铭文等方面皆具有较为明确的时代特征。     

郑州商城出土骨刻文与中国古代的“舞雩”祈雨之祀

殷墟甲骨文中已有关于求雨的"雩祭"了,此后历代相沿,可谓源远流长。早商时期郑州商城遗址出土的两例骨刻文"■■"和"■■"形近而义同,它们可能就是这种雩祭的原型。在郑州商城遗址发现这类祈雨的文字资料,这和郑州商城所在的地理环境及其当时一度干旱缺水的气候条件都有一定的关系。
