关于淮北新出土石祠画像石的认识

通过对新出土的4块画像石形状、内容及雕刻技法的分析,认为它们应是东汉石祠画像石。并根据其形状、尺寸将它复原成单开间平顶房屋式建筑,填补了淮北市汉画像石祠的空白,并为认识同类画像石找到了实物依据。     

环砥石与穿孔技术

近年来在我国一些新石器时代遗址中相继出土“环砥石”,有的发掘者将其命名为“石钻”、“钻头” 等。安徽省文物考古研究所于１９９８年１１月在含山县凌家滩遗址发掘出土１件“环砥石”,称为“石钻”①。浙江省文物考古研究所于 １９７９年１１ 月至 １９８０年１月在桐乡县罗家角遗址第１层和第２层各出土１件“环砥石”（图一）,发掘报告称其为“钻头”,并认为“这类钻头,可能与石器钻孔技术有关”②。这种石器的命名之所以会产生错误,是由于对“环砥石”的用途不明所致。 一、环砥石的用途 环砥石作为一种制作玉石器的工具,在我…     

石质文物表面墨迹的保护作用

在许多不可移动石质文物,尤其是石刻文字表面,因历代文人墨客的拓片留下了大量墨迹。这些墨迹是否对文物本体岩石有害?一直是保护工作者希望了解的问题之一。为此本研究开展了一系列调研和实验研究。通过对各地保存较完好的石刻表面的观察,可以发现石刻表面残留的墨迹具有某种保护作用;对模拟样块的SO2腐蚀实验结果表明,岩石表面的墨迹具有一定的阻止空气中腐蚀性气体侵蚀岩石的作用;盐迁移破坏实验也发现墨迹在某种程度上具有减小可溶盐结晶破坏岩石的作用。吸水率实验和电镜观察等结果显示,墨迹缓解岩石风化的机理主要是墨迹对岩石微裂隙具有填充和加固作用,使岩石的吸水系数降低,部分阻挡了可溶盐的入侵和聚集结晶。     

刘志洲山石刻调查简报

通过对刘志洲山的地面石刻全面调查,对该山现存的石刻有一个较为详细的了解,本文详细介绍了调查所发现的岩画和文字两大类石刻,考证连云港市刘志洲山的面石刻的年代及其性质。     

重庆市武隆区土坎遗址东汉墓葬发掘简报

2006年2月至5月,重庆市文化遗产研究院联合武隆区文物管理所对武隆区土坎遗址进行了首次考古发掘,共清理墓葬26座,除M19为明代墓葬外,其余25座为战国至东汉时期墓葬。其中,东汉中晚期砖室墓2座、石室墓1座,均为带甬道的单室墓,随葬品基本组合为釜、罐、钵以及各类明器,在墓葬形制、器物组合等方面与峡江地区的同时期墓葬基本一致。这次发掘进一步充实了乌江下游东汉时期墓葬资料,凸显了乌江作为古代文化交流与传播的廊道作用,对研究渝东南地区汉文化面貌具有重要参考价值。     

成都百花潭锦江河道出土石经及相关问题研究

成都百花潭锦江河道出土石经为五代至北宋时期比丘尼正仪所造。石经上刻有佛顶尊胜陀罗尼咒、广大宝楼阁善住秘密陀罗尼根本真言、文殊菩萨五字真言等三种佛教咒语。其独特之处在于经文雕刻于石板的正面和顶面,而且"安于江中"。本文认为"破地狱"和"疾证菩提"思想在川渝地区的传播是这三种真言被糅合在同一石经上的信仰依据。     

越国玉石器及早期昌化石文物研究

Seeing the World Through Ramist Eyes: The Richardsonian Ramism of Thomas Hooker and Samuel Stone

Using as examples the writings of Thomas Hooker and Samuel Stone, founding ministers of the First Church of Hartford, Connecticut, this article shows how influential thinkers in early seventeenth-century England and New England saw the world around them through the filters of the Ramist philosophy of Alexander Richardson. It argues that Richardsonian Ramism produced theology and preaching that was less “biblical” and more “Calvinist” than has been conventionally thought.     

Identifying the woody resources of Diepkloof Rock Shelter (South Africa) using scanning electron microscopy of the MSA wood charcoal assemblages

This article presents the results of the anatomical identification of wood charcoal from pre-Still Bay, Still Bay and Howiesons Poort assemblages at Diepkloof Rock Shelter (South Africa) using scanning electron microscopy. In the earliest phases, with pre-Still Bay stone tools, the charcoal shows a predominance of Afromontane forest taxa, some riverine woodland species, mesic thicket and proteoid fynbos vegetation. With a change in lithic technology in Still Bay contexts, the balance of Afromontane and thicket taxa shifts towards favouring the latter. A more diverse array of proteoid fynbos species emerges, and there is evidence for the use of plants from the local wetlands of the Verlorenvlei. In Howiesons Poort contexts, typified by a different lithic technology, the charcoal shows some Afromontane forest persisting, but the overwhelming change is towards greater species diversity, with the woody taxa being increasingly representative of thicket and shrubland. Some of the fynbos and thicket species are typical of vegetational communities which inhabit well-drained soils, rocky or dry locations at the present day. More wetland plants from the Verlorenvlei were selected for use.     

Ushnus of the Inca provincial region: An analysis of two ceremonial platforms from Inca sites in Catamarca (Argentina)

The Inca polity deployed a variety of strategies in the establishment of imperial relations with the local communities of the southern provinces. These strategies included the translation of symbols materialized in architectural structures. In this sense, the ceremonial platforms denominated ushnus were spaces with particular significance and high hierarchy.
