铜鏂小考

文章主要从命名、形制和演变等几方面对铜鏂进行了初步探讨,由于鏂的形制不同于碗、簋或豆,故其名称也不同。鏂主要流行于两汉时期,早期为深腹、矮圈足,后逐渐深变为高圈足、浅腹。出土器物组合及文献均说明鏂应为盛器。文未对瓯的形制及用途也稍作说明。     

New Data on Egyptian Construction Methods in the Khufu I Vessel (c.2566 BC) from the Paul Lipke Collection

A review of the Lipke collection raises new questions concerning Egyptian boatbuilding methods for the Khufu I vessel, including the shaping of planking, the purpose, fitting, and spacing of cross‐grain mortise‐and‐tenon joints and the crafting and securing of hook‐scarfs in girders. New data supports the author's contention that the construction of this vessel was abruptly terminated, but contradicts his suggestion that the central girder had no hook‐scarf—it does, but it is unique. Furthermore, detailed plans show how the hood‐ends, sleeves, and papyriform decorations were crafted and joined. A planking‐plan with scale does not always agree with published data. © 2010 The Author     

Status,scale and secret ingredients: the retrospective invention of London porter

Porter, a dark style of beer that was the staple of London in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, is conventionally addressed as a discrete invention, suited to large‐scale production, whose appearance led rapidly to enclosure of the trade by a few industrial‐scale producers. This paper by contrast presents the capitalist industrialization of brewing as co‐extensive with, and reinforced by, the long‐term emergence of a consensus definition of porter; the invention story is a retrospective construct that telescopes a century or more of technical change. Balancing established economic accounts, I address the role of product identity as a rhetorical device. London’s greatest brewers were in part assisted in capturing smaller competitors’ trade by the enshrining of large‐scale production as a ‘secret ingredient’ in its own right, essential to the nature of the ‘true’ product.     

齐侯壶新研

齐侯壶记载了齐侯越礼而为陈氏服丧的事情,其礼直比诸侯。这一记载有助于我们理解为何海阳嘴子前墓葬会使用七鼎殉葬。铭文中的"二天子",与楚简中的"二天子"相同,指舜之二妃,都与陈国祭祀有关。从陈与齐、陈与楚的关系入手,可以理清这一问题。     

山东日照首次发现春秋时期樊国铭文青铜器

殷墟出土铜质方形器功用考

本文从殷墟出土的铜质方形器的特征和形制方面,重新考证了铜质方形器的功用,认为是当时用于烧烤的"烤炉"。     

洛阳地区秦墓探析

本文首先从洛阳地区秦墓发现情况与地缘不相配称引出思考,然后将已知秦墓同关中秦墓进行简要对比找出洛阳秦墓探索的突破口——土洞墓;通过墓葬形制和随葬器物的分析归纳出土洞墓蕴含的一般丧制,并在此基础上对器物组合进行分组分期和验证,最后对周秦文化的融和过程作了探索。     

元代瓷匜研究

匜是先秦礼器中的水器。元代开始,瓷匜大量出现,涉及景德镇窑、龙泉窑和钧窑等著名窑口。本文以墓葬、窖藏和窑址等考古发掘资料为基础,结合文献与前人研究成果,对元代瓷匜进行了探讨,认为其源于元代同形金银器,性质应为酒器,同时兼具祭器之用。     

铜鐎斗的器形演变及用途考

鐎斗是汉至唐代墓葬中常见的器物。通过对铜鐎斗的综合研究,根据柄部的不同,可将这种器物分为四类,其器形变化清晰,地域分布明确,具有一定规律性。铜鐎斗兴起于汉代,盛行于六朝,至唐代趋于消亡。根据器形和分布范围的变化,以及出土器物的组合,并结合中国饮茶习俗的发展历程,推断铜鐎斗应为煮茶的器具。
