新野汉画像砖保存现状分析及保护措施——以拜谒执戟吏汉画像砖的保护为例

在长期的埋藏过程中,由于大自然和人力的破坏,使画像砖出现了断裂、酥粉、剥落、结晶盐等病害。这就需要进行保护修复,重建稳定性,以达到长期保存的目的。     

谈“树”的文化功能——顾恺之《洛神赋》与砖画《竹林七贤》中“树”的比较

从文化功能学而论顾恺之《洛神赋》中的“树”具有审美的情感表达功能,而砖画《竹林七贤》中的“树”具有祭祀的崇拜功能,二者处于不同的文化功能系统。魏晋南北朝时期绘画中“树”的文化功能的扩展是文人士大夫追求自我价值实现和生命意义的结果。     

Global Markets, Local Practice: Ottoman-period Clay Pipes and Smoking Paraphernalia from the Red Sea Shipwreck at Sadana Island, Egypt

Shipwreck archaeology provides unique evidence for trade, commercial relationships, and the day-to-day existence of occupational communities defined by residence and employment within the industrial space aboard a ship. These concerns are addressed particularly well by finds of utilitarian items such as a small assemblage of 21 clay pipes and three other smoking-related artifacts recently excavated from the ca. 1765 Sadana Island ship which sank at anchor while loaded with coffee, porcelain, qulal, and other goods. Analysis of the assemblage specifically contributes to questions of chronology and typology and presents new evidence for regionalism, style, and the impact of far-reaching trade routes on markets with a global perspective.     

江苏南京郭家山八号墓清理简报

１９９９年９月,南京市博物馆为配合基本建设,在南京市北郊的郭家山清理了１座六朝砖室墓。（图一）由于此前我馆已先后在郭家山清理了７座墓葬,①所以此次将这座砖室墓编为郭家山８号墓。现将此墓的清理情况简报如下。 一、墓葬形制 该墓为前、后室砖墓,墓门方向１７０°。（图二） 由于此墓系基建中发现,故其前室东侧的墙已被推去一半,墓顶也部分被毁。前室南部中间有短两道,而道券顶,壁采用三顺一丁砌法,铺地砖为平铺,封门墙则采用侧“人”字相交砌法,南道长０．７米,宽０．９米,高１米。 前室略呈方形,长２．６５米,宽２…     

荥阳官庄遗址两周时期制陶原料的来源及加工工艺分析

为探讨官庄遗址两周之际制陶原料的选取与陶泥料加工工艺的差异,本研究以官庄遗址泥料坑出土夹砂陶泥料、泥质陶泥料及泥制陶坯、夹砂陶坯,和遗址所在自然沉积地层中的全新世古土壤、马兰黄土、附近枯河河道河砂为主要研究对象,采用粒度、磁化率、X射线荧光光谱(XRF)分析方法对样品进行分析实验。研究结果表明:1)官庄制陶原料来自于遗址所处地点的晚更新世、全新世以来的沉积地层,其中夹砂陶泥料和陶坯中的羼合料主要取自于枯河河道中的河砂;2)遗址使用期间,早晚不同时期的陶泥料选取和加工工艺有所不同——早期以马兰黄土或全新世古土壤为原料,经严格的淘洗工序后,选用优势组分为1～11 μm的部分添加河砂制备成夹砂陶泥料,粗粒河砂与细粒黏土比例为1∶4;而晚期出现了以全新世古土壤为原料,直接或只经过简单淘洗工序后制备成泥质陶泥料。     

The Hemerdon China Clay Works,Devon: A History and Description of the Site and Working Methods

This article presents an overview of the Hemerdon China Clay Works, 6 miles north-east of Plymouth (Devon), active from c.1860 to 1942. Based on research commissioned in advance of an extension to Headon West Quarry, it describes the development of the clay works and the methods of clay extraction and processing. Archaeological survey recorded a broad range of structures, features, earthworks and artefacts. They included the remains of an engine house of c.1907, two large masonry bases (probably associated with the flat rod system that transferred power from the engine) and a rocker beam. The article also describes a group of mica drags and settling tanks built c.1907. Combining this evidence with that gleaned from documentary sources, notably the large-scale Ordnance Survey mapping, an exceptionally detailed narrative has been constructed of the work's development through time. It has a relevance beyond the particular, and will help the future interpretation and management of the china clay extraction sites that are so characteristic of the region.     

陇山地区宋金砖室墓述议

宋金时期陇山地区流行仿木结构砖室墓,墓室砖雕内容有孝子故事、家居活动与动植物等,在墓葬形制、砖雕装饰与丧葬习俗方面与其他地区既有相似性,又有地域特点。部分砖雕的异域风格表现了宋金时期陇山地区居民在墓葬文化上的兼容并包。陇山地区的宋金砖墓为研究本地区宋金时期丧葬文化特点与周边地区的关系、地域文化特征提供了重要的考古资料。     

Diatoms as indicators of provenance in Finnish sub-neolithic pottery

The clays of Finland originated from glacial deposits formed during the deglaciation of the Weichselian ice-sheet and during the different stages of the Baltic Sea. The analysis of the fossil diatom flora is of central importance in the study of its developmental history. The diatoms in the clay indicate its sedimentary environment, which can be linked to the stages of the Baltic Sea. The siliceous valves of diatoms tolerate heating up to 1400°C and can consequently be identified in ceramics fired at lower temperatures. Several diatom analyses have been made in Finnish Sub-Neolithic comb ware pottery in order to determinate the origin of their clay materials. According to the results of these studies, prehistoric potteries used clays deposited during the Yoldia and the Ancylus stages. The criteria used in selecting raw materials were identical to those of modern ceramic industries. Further details as to provenance of clay materials have been illustrated in connection with research on pottery from the Aland Islands. In the example from Kymi, South-eastern Finland, changes in the composition of the diatom flora have been found to correlate with changes in pottery decoration styles.     

湖南七星墩遗址中红烧土建筑材料的科学分析

新石器时代中期,中国先民将制陶技术运用于房屋建筑中,发展了一系列强度与耐水性能显著提升的烧土建筑材料,极大地改善了居住环境。长江中下游地区新石器时代房屋建筑发展脉络清晰,广泛利用红烧土材料。采用XRD法、XRF法、磁化率法和色度法从物相组成、元素成分、磁化率、色度等方面对湖南七星墩遗址出土的不同文化时期的烧土样品进行综合分析。结果表明,6件红烧土样品应均为就地取土,并在泥料中加入了稻壳和稻草等植物残骸作为羼和料,经人工烘烤而成的建筑材料,等效烧成温度区间为550～700℃。研究结果可丰富史前建筑史的研究,磁化率测温法为未烧制黏土考古材料的烧成温度研究提供了一种科学有效的方法,进一步可尝试应用于早期陶器(尤其低温陶器)的烧成温度研究。     

Investigation and analysis of ancient brick carvings of the Liuhe Pagoda in Hangzhou

The Liuhe Pagoda in Hangzhou, China, has a large number of brick carvings from the Southern Song Dynasty (1152 ce ), covering an area of 464 m². However, the exquisite brick carvings in the Liuhe Pagoda have deteriorated due to natural weathering and a high-humidity environment. Through laboratory analysis and on-site nondestructive testing, the physical and chemical properties of the brick carvings of Liuhe Pagoda were investigated, and the weathering mechanism of the brick carvings was further analyzed. The brick carving of Liuhe Pagoda is composed of brick, white plastering and black coating. CaCO₃ is the main component in white plastering, and the black coating on the top surface contains Chinese lacquer. The weathering products of the brick were analyzed and a trace of CaSO₄.2H₂O was found. In addition, the brick carvings with high water content have low Leeb hardness and severe weathering. Therefore, water and soluble salt are the main factors in weathering of the brick carvings of the Liuhe Pagoda.
