北齐徐显秀、娄叡墓中的火坛和礼器

本文论述了北齐徐显秀墓和娄墓中的“灯”本是拜火祭坛,鸡首壶、尊、瓶等器则是礼器。隋虞弘墓中的石“灯”也应是火坛。由此说明祆教信众沿袭中国古来以礼器随葬的传统,将火坛及其礼器放入墓室作为祆教葬礼的一部分。     

从"开门通商"到"厚集洋债,以均势力"—徐世昌与东北外交策略的变化

在东北实行均势外交 ,打破日俄垄断地位 ,是清政府的基本方针。东三省改制前后 ,均势外交策略经历了由全面引进外资的“开门通商”之策 ,到将精力全部集中到以铁路外债为核心的“厚集洋债 ,以均势力”的转变。徐世昌作为东三省首任总督 ,在这种转变中 ,很无奈地担任了执行者和过渡者的角色。     

上博简《诗论》第二章解读

《上海博物馆藏战国楚竹书(一)》出版以来,学术界对其研究主要集中在文字考释、编联和复原方面。接下来的研究,应是对其内容的深入考察,以明其精神实质及学术价值,同时以检验和印证前一阶段的研究成果。本文结合《诗经》原文及《诗序》对上博简《诗论》第二章进行详细解读,拟有助于有关问题之解决。     

《佩文斋书画谱》署录《续书史会要》正误

《佩斋书画谱》被称为历代书画艺术要籍的总汇,但其中署录《续书史会要》存在诸多问题：一是对原进行节录;二是对原进行了缩写;三是将原与其它资料混合论述;四是将其它献错署为该书。     

《徐复传》版本考

徐复是北宋著名术数家,因其精通京房易数,获宋仁宗赐号“冲晦处士”。曾巩的《隆平集》、李焘的《续资治通鉴长编》、王称的《东都事略》及脱脱等着的《宋史》均收录了《徐复传》。从比较不同版本的《徐复传》,可以得出一项重要的启示,也就是《隆平集》的史书地位不但出类于宋代,更留芳于元代。     

Measuring subsistence specialization: Comparing historic and prehistoric abalone middens on San Miguel Island,California

Red abalone middens, common on the Northern Channel Islands during the Middle Holocene, have often been interpreted as relatively specialized foraging camps. To test the degree of subsistence specialization of one such site, we compared faunal data from a 6400-year-old red abalone midden (CA-SMI-557) and an historic “Chinese” black abalone midden (CA-SMI-558) located along the same drainage on San Miguel Island. The historic assemblage, resulting from highly specialized abalone harvest, drying, and export activities, provides a baseline for evaluating the degree of subsistence specialization at the red abalone midden, where a wider range of economic and subsistence activities is represented. We illustrate how detailed comparative study of faunal remains, artifacts, site structure, and archival sources can help elucidate the economic function of both historic and prehistoric sites.     

Using foraminifera to distinguish between natural and cultural shell deposits in coastal eastern Australia

Foraminifera are single cell protozoa that are ubiquitous in marine environments. Although the hard casings, or tests, of foraminifera are routinely studied in the earth sciences, they have been little studied by archaeologists, despite their potential to contribute to understandings of coastal site formation processes and palaeoenvironments. In this study techniques and methods of foraminiferal analysis are developed and applied to the problem of distinguishing between natural and cultural marine shell deposits, using the Mort Creek Site Complex, central Queensland, Australia, as a case study. Results allow separation of natural and cultural deposits based on foraminiferal density. Natural deposits were found to have >1000 foraminifera per 100 g of sediment, while cultural deposits exhibited <50 foraminifera per 100 g of sediment. Results allow us to better understand site formation processes at the Mort Creek Site Complex and highlight the potential of foraminiferal analyses in the interpretation of terrestrial marine deposits.     

徐世昌与1916年内阁风潮的解决

中人是民国政治中的一个特殊角色。早期民国的政情,为中人角色提供了存在的前提。徐世昌在1916年内阁风潮的解决中,受到的欢迎及其解决阁潮的速度都充分说明,在实际的政治运行中,人们发现,在这样一个法制、政党都不健全、而武人势力又处于相持的转折时代中,中人能使断裂的北京政治重新粘合起来。     

安奉铁路交涉研究：以清末地方外交为视角

安奉铁路是日本在东北自筑的第一条铁路。它并非源于某个特定条约,而是在既成事实基础上,通过外交交涉获得的一项在华权益。在交涉过程中,徐世昌、锡良等东北地方大员成为对外交涉的主体,受地方性外交体制的影响,既表现出独立性,又受制于中央政府。他们在争取国家主权、维护地方利益的同时,也显现出对外交涉策略上的急进。安奉铁路交涉的结局在一定程度上反映了中央与地方在事关铁路的外交事务上的矛盾,这源于对外交涉体制的缺陷与权力结构的无序。
