Public support for ANZUS: Evidence of a generational shift?

Recent polling has shown that younger Australians are less likely to support the alliance with the USA than older Australians. This may reflect the passing of the wartime generation from the Australian population and the rise of a new, better educated, more multicultural Australia less sympathetic to the USA. Some have concluded that Australia may be undergoing a generational shift away from alignment with the USA. In this article, I pool all Australian Election Studies from 1993 to 2013 to assess this possibility. I find that ageing, not formative political experiences, pushes Australians in a more pro-American direction. Additionally, degree holders and Australians from non-Anglo-Australian backgrounds are slightly less likely to support Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty (ANZUS), but the alliance still commands comfortable majority support even here. ANZUS is therefore likely to remain a popular component of Australian foreign policy for the foreseeable future.

最近的民调显示,相对于老辈,年轻的澳大利亚人不大会支持美澳联盟。这也许是因为战争一代逝去,受过良好教育、多文化的新一代对美国较少好感。一些人认为澳大利亚正在经历一个代际转移,不再站美国一边。笔者网罗了1993至2013年澳大利亚的全部选举研究,以评估这种可能性。笔者发现,年龄的增长而不是形成阶段的政治经历造成澳大利亚人更为亲美。再有,有学历的和非盎克鲁撒克逊背景的澳大利亚人对澳新美安保条约的支持度要稍低一些。但即便是这部分人口,支持美澳联盟的也占大多数。在可预见的未来,澳新美联盟依然会是澳大利亚对外政策得民意的一部分。     

世所传宁戚饭牛歌所作时代考

世所传宁戚饭牛歌有三首,分别见于《史记·邹阳传》裴■集解、《文选·啸赋》李善注和《艺文类聚》卷四十三,因真伪莫辨,历来论七言诗起源及发展者,或存而不论,或当作伪七言诗而加以摒斥。今考三首所作时代,谓其一为楚辞体诗向七言诗过渡阶段的产物,产生于西汉武帝以后至东汉顺帝之间;其二除首、二句外,为已经相当成熟之七言诗,当产生于西汉后期至东汉末;其三为纯粹之七言诗,应为汉以后之产物,此三首前后相继之关系很明显,当为民间歌诗。     

甘家坡遗址发掘简报

甘家坡遗址位于湖北省兴山县小河村1组。2004年7月至8月,咸宁市博物馆对该遗址进行了勘探发掘,发掘面积300平方米,获得了一批春秋、宋、明时期的重要遗迹和遗物。清理出春秋时期的房基址2座、灰坑1个、宋代沟1条,出土了一批陶、瓷、铁等不同质地的文化遗物。虽然遗址保存状况差,遗存堆积薄,但这是香溪河中游地区首次发现的春秋遗存,对我们了解香溪河流域两周之际文化面貌有着重要意义。     

北平和平接管时期的城市街道工作组

The Tantura F Shipwreck, Israel

Tantura F is the first wreck excavated so far in the eastern Mediterranean dated to the beginning of the 8th century AD (the local early Islamic period), based on ¹⁴C and pottery analysis. Among the finds were the remains of about 30 ceramic vessels, two anchors, food remnants, fish-bones, a needle, a spoon and a glass vessel. Tantura F was c .15 m long and 5 m wide, and hull remains comprise keel, frames, planks, stringers, mast-step, and other internal components. Construction features clearly indicate frame-based construction, considerably earlier than it is generally thought to have been first employed.

The fourth molar in a mandible found in a Jomon skeleton in Japan

A fourth molar in a mandible occurs very rarely, even in clinical surveys involving a large number of modern people. Having encountered a case with the fourth mandibular molar in a prehistoric skull in Japan, we would like to report on the macroscopic morphology of the case using X-rays, and to discuss the case with reference to literature concerning supernumerary teeth in the molar region.     

马里时代西亚战争惯例初探

在马里时代,西亚诸国逐步发展出制约战争的惯例。在发动战争之前,要为战争找到合法的理由,同时需要获得神明的赞同和友邦的支持,更为重要的是,要进行公开宣战。在战后对战败国的处理上,虽然存在野蛮的毁城杀人的向例,但是较为人道的战争惯例逐步发展起来:有限摧毁敌方城市,善待敌方战俘与百姓以及掩埋敌方阵亡者尸体等。马里时代的战争惯例,继承了公元前3千纪的某些战争惯例,同时又对古代西亚战争的惯例做出了新发展。马里时代战争惯例的形成,与此时大国争霸、同盟化战争以及战争的频繁有着密切关系。战争的巨大破坏力,也促使较为人道的战争惯例出现,它们代表了古代西亚战争惯例的发展方向,具有进步意义。     

陕西咸阳岩村墓地M41发掘简报

岩村墓地位于陕西省咸阳市渭城区底张镇,2017—2018年发掘的49座墓葬中,M41为竖穴墓道双洞室结构,同穴合葬形式,出土有铜鼎、铜壶、陶罐、漆卮、铜镜等。其中随葬铜壶封口处残留有条状植物捆扎的织物,内残存有液体。经检测铜壶口部覆盖物为麻织物,捆扎物初步推断为植物纤维。残留的液体经检测为粮食酿造的酒即"醴"。在墓葬内洞室相通处遗留有动物残骸,这反映了秦人葬礼中的祭献习俗。根据墓葬形制和随葬器物判断岩村M41的时代为战国晚期晚段至秦代初期。     

六安白鹭洲M566和M585的年代及相关问题

本文通过随葬器物的详细对比,认为六安白鹭洲M566和M585的年代应属于战国晚期早段,墓主人为夫妻关系,属于下大夫阶层。两墓包含较多异质性的文化因素。
