“曾”、“随”二国的证据——论新发现的随仲嬭加鼎

新见的一件楚王所作嫁女儿的媵器青铜鼎,器主名隓仲嬭加,表明夫家是隓。隓国即汉东之随国,随仲嬭加鼎的发现,证明曾即是曾,随即是随,并非一国二名。     

城固出土5件商代青铜兽面饰的无损分析及初步研究

为对陕西城固出土的青铜兽面饰的保护修复提供科学依据,同时进一步揭示其所蕴含的制作技术和相关考古学信息,采用X光探伤仪、超景深显微镜、X荧光能谱仪及显微共聚焦激光拉曼光谱仪对5件商代青铜兽面饰进行了无损分析,分析结果显示,2件为锡青铜,3件为铅锡青铜,兽面饰表面铜锈以孔雀石CuCO₃·Cu(OH)₂为主,局部见赤铁矿Fe₂O₃、纤铁矿γ-FeOOH和钙质层CaCO₃。分析结果为这组青铜兽面饰的保护修复提供了科学依据。根据检测结果,对兽面的铸造工艺、补铸痕迹、铜料配比、小孔的制作工艺等方面进行了讨论,并与殷墟及老牛坡出土同类型器物进行了类比,从而得出了这一地区兽面饰的工艺、风格与该地区铜器整体风格一致的结论,为从材料与工艺层面认知“城洋铜器群”提供了坚实的数据基础。     

《古今图书集成》版本研究

《古今图书集成》的实际编纂者是陈梦雷,而非蒋廷锡,久已为学界所共知。在该书的印刷过程中陈梦雷主持印刷了绝大部分内容,后期主持者蒋廷锡所印刷部分不足全书的4%。蒋廷锡对陈梦雷所印部分进行了审核校改,其校改方式为“挖补钤盖”,这因此成为《古今图书集成》一书中普遍存在的版本特征。相对于全书的文字总量来说,蒋廷锡所校改文字量极为有限,因此今本《古今图书集成》基本仍是陈梦雷所编原貌。《古今图书集成》的实际成书数量为64部,相关文献记载中的数字差异正是《古今图书集成》成书过程和蒋廷锡工作步骤的真实反映。印刷《古今图书集成》的铜活字是刊刻而非铸造,其活字数量以20余万字左右较为合理,清内府铜活字应该只有这一套。     

吴越系统青铜矛研究

本文通过对考古所见吴越系统青铜矛的形制规格等方面的研究,归纳出其区域特征,并根据各种形制所体现的技术水平,把其分为五个等级,分别代表五个不同的发展阶段。     

青海地区青铜器的成份分析及来源

本文通过对青海地区青铜器的成份分析及其铸造方法的分析,对该地区发现的青铜器来源问题进行了探讨。     

楚史书《梼杌》的名源与三星堆青铜人头像性质考

《孟子·离娄下》所说楚国史书《梼杌》的名称来源是来自南方楚国先祖祭主的名称,古代把圆木柱称作"梼杌"并用来作为先祖祭主,后来便称记载先祖历史的史书也叫做"梼杌"。套在圆木桩上的三星堆青铜人头像与成都金沙木雕彩绘人头像的形制一样,本为南方古国的圆木桩形制的先祖"梼杌",其性质是用来祭祀先祖的祭主。"梼杌"是长江流域巴蜀楚地以断木做成的先祖祭主之状,而青铜立人像是木质先祖祭主的仿制品,青铜人头像用青铜做成再套在断木之上的先祖祭主。     

Of Ships and Deer: early Western Mediterranean ship graffiti reappraised

Re‐analysis of the Hal Tarxien prehistoric ship graffiti, the incised figure on a pottery sherd, from the Neolithic site of Grapceva cave on a Croatian island, known as the ‘Hvar boat’, and the Villanovian‐Etruscan bronze razor from Bologna allow the last two to be reinterpreted as animals rather than ships, and the first to be dated to the Bronze Age Cemetery phase of the site. These findings require the earliest ship graffiti in the western Mediterranean to be reconsidered.     

Seal dies from the National Museum of Slovenia: Non-destructive analyses of medieval and early modern copper alloys

A representative group of seal dies made of copper alloys from the collection of the National Museum of Slovenia was investigated by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF). Chronologically, the artefacts date from the early 13th century to the present. Non-destructive EDXRF screening of elemental fingerprints of Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Sn and Sb was performed on 95 seal dies, and the obtained elemental data set was further processed by chemometric tools such as principal component analysis (PCA). The relationships between the elemental composition of analysed seal dies, type of alloy applied and their historical context—date, location of manufacture and, possibly, social rank of the owner—were examined in detail.     

两周金文中的繁地与西周早期的东土经略

两周金文中的繁与繁阳,是全然不同的两个地名:繁为东土地名,似在今山东汶、泗之间,繁阳则为南土汝水流域地名,在今河南新蔡一带。甗铭文所记周王命令出使于繁,班簋铭文记录穆王令毛公掌管繁、蜀、巢诸地,均与西周早期王朝东土经略有关。汶水流域是中原王朝东拓的交通要地,具有重要战略意义,也是今人梳理商周东土拓殖史的要点之所在。     

The Question of "Why It Is in Henan" and the New Direction of Chinese Scientific and Technological Archaeology

The ritual institutionalization demonstrated in the bronze production at Erlitou and further developed during the Shang and Zhou periods that formed a distinctive feature of bronze civilizations. While exploring the path of the earliest state formation, we could consider why Erlitou was chosen from the unveiling of the Bronze Age in China. Much attention had been paid to archaeological, chronological, geographic, and climatic information in the existing studies, but the relationship between bronze metal resources and the formation of the Erlitou state needed more attention. Viewing the Erlitou culture as the earliest state form in China and thus exploring the path of formation of early states was a return to the original theme of archaeology.
