二里头遗址出土木炭碎块的研究

结合考古发掘,在二里头文化一、二期之交和四期采集一些炭化碎块,并对这些炭化碎块的结构在体式显微镜和扫描电子显微镜下进行鉴定、分析和拍照,得出这些炭化碎块分别属于7个树种,即槲栎、麻栎、麻栎属的一个种、侧柏、油松、朴树和另一种阔叶树。通过对地层中分散的木炭分析,初步认为二里头遗址周围分布有大量的阔叶树栎林、杂木林和少量的松柏针叶林;当时的气候是温暖湿润的,但具体到不同的文化时期可能也存在着温湿度差异,二里头文化四期与一、二期之交气候相比较,前期的生态气候好于后期;通过对灰坑里的木炭分析,显示不论在二里头文化一、二期之交,还是在二里头文化四期,古人喜欢把栎木作为薪炭材。

Inconspicuous Consumption: Non-Display Goods and Identity Formation

In the study of ancient material culture, archaeologists have primarily focused on the use of objects for display and communication. This social function of material culture could only have developed on the basis of individual cognitive capacity for the use of goods as materializations of symbolic behavior. To explore the deeply held relationship of identity to material culture, this paper focuses on goods that are utilized away from the gaze of others. Using examples from the ethnographic present such as pharmaceuticals, underwear, and hygiene products, I develop the idea of “reflexive identity” to describe how people use material objects in private to define themselves prior to and independent of their social roles as perceived by others. The act of daily identity creation and affirmation through goods, particularly those that are inexpensive and disposable, indicates the extent to which human cognition and psychological sense of self are inextricably linked to the handling of material culture. The archaeological application of a reflexive identity enables us to understand how ordinary goods are a fundamental component of identity formation prior to and independent of individuals’ engagement with others.     

Obsidian provenance analyses at Göytepe,Azerbaijan: Implications for understanding Neolithic socioeconomies in the southern Caucasus

This study presents a provenance analysis of the Neolithic obsidian assemblages from the early to mid‐sixth millennium bc settlement at Göytepe, Azerbaijan. The study is unique in that (1) it involves a complete, non‐selected obsidian assemblage (901 artefacts) from one particular area of the site; (2) the material is derived from a well‐stratified sequence of 10 securely radiocarbon‐dated architectural levels; and (3) the use of an extraordinarily wide range of sources (more than 20) was identified by provenance analysis using energy‐dispersive X‐ray fluorescence. The results reveal a previously unknown diachronic change in obsidian use in the region, suggesting the occurrence of significant socioeconomic changes during the Late Neolithic of the southern Caucasus.     

The Composition of the São Brás Copper Hoard in Relation to the Bell Beaker Metallurgy in the South‐western Iberian Peninsula

A large ceramic vessel was discovered at São Brás (southern Portugal) containing a metallic hoard from the Chalcolithic/Early Bronze Age period. These weapons and tools were characterized by microanalytical techniques as being composed of copper with varying arsenic contents (2.2 ± 1.6 wt%) and minor amounts of lead, bismuth and iron. The collection shows a clear association between daggers and copper with a higher arsenic content, which can be explained by the high status of these silvery alloys. Finally, the compositional distribution of the hoard was compared with the metallurgy of the Bell Beaker and non–Bell Beaker communities inhabiting the south‐western Iberian Peninsula.     

湖北旧石器文化初步研究

一、前　言湖北位于我国中部 ,长江从其腹地穿越 ,地理位置处于东经 1 0 8°2 1′——— 1 1 6°0 1′ ,北纬 2 9°5′——— 33°2 0′。属亚热带季风气候 ,因受太阳辐射和季风环流的季节性变化的影响 ,湖北雨热同季 ,四季分明 ,光照充足 ,雨量充沛 ,年平均降水量在 80 0毫米～ 1 0 0 0毫米 ,年均光照总数在 1 2 0 0小时～2 0 0 0小时之间 ,年平均温度在 1 5℃～ 1 7℃。湖北东、西、北三面环山 ,东南及中部为平原。全境河流交织 ,湖泊如星。湖北的生物资源也极为丰富 ,据统计 ,生活在湖北的动物多达 70 0余种、植物 4 0 0 0多种。这种生态…     

《大汶口续集》中北辛文化的分期问题

1974年至 1 978年由山东省文物考古研究所主持 ,对山东省汶上县大汶口遗址的西北部 ,紧靠汶河北岸的卫家庄村南一带进行了第二、三次发掘 ,发掘成果收入《大汶口续集》 (以下简称《续集》) ① 。这两次发掘 ,发现了一批内涵丰富的大汶口早期墓葬和所谓“北辛文化”的遗迹、遗物。报告对这批材料进行了整理和分期 ,但我们通过对报告所列材料重新梳理并结合新出考古材料进行分析比较 ,所得“北辛文化”的分期结果与《续集》不同 ,此问题关系到对整个北辛文化面貌及分期的认识 ,故有必要对此处遗址进行重新分期讨论。一、典型遗迹单位分析根据…     

围棋东渐与中日文化互动

围棋产生于中国,大约在南北朝时传入日本。16世纪前,日本围棋主要受中国的影响,之后日本逐渐把围棋发扬光大,使其完成了从古典到现代围棋的转变,它反过来又影响,促进了围棋在其故土的转型。这种文化传播,影响与接受,反雏,形成一种文化互动,乃是围棋交流也包括整个文化交流中的普遍现象。     

中华元典中的德育及其现代启示

中国传统文化近年在大众生活中和学术界受到广泛关注。无论从哪一侧面来研究中国传统,无论其见仁见智有何不同,中国传统文化对当代中国的学术、文化、社会演进影响巨大,是一个共识。如何建构起既有深厚传统又有现代意识的学术和文化,这是当代中国建设所面临的重要课题。本期刊发一组青年学者关于这一话题的笔谈,展示他们关注这一话题的视角,期望对这一问题的讨论有所助益。     

孔子的政治哲学及其对今日的启发

今日政治哲学之建设,不是全无根基的生造,而是必须立基于传统,在融合中西各传统的基础上,方能有所创新。在这样的视域中,对孔子政治哲学的再审视蕴涵着深根新芽之可能。
