Botanical,malacological and archaeological zonation of settlement deposits at Gomolava

A 2 × 2 m column was excavated within the large-scale excavation carried out by a Jugoslav team at tell Gomolava, Hrtkovci, Jugoslavia, occupied from Vinc?a (c. 5000 BC) to post-Roman times. The archaeological zonation of the column's material is briefly outlined to provide the background to the detailed palaeobotanical, palynological and malacological study. The results of this study are used to aid the reconstruction of the palaeoenvironment of the tell. They indicate that the earliest agrobotanical zone, in which most of the cultigens were already present, but which is characterized by a very low count of charred seeds, persists throughout the Vinc?a, Baden and most of the Kostolac layers of the tell. A marked increase in charred seeds, without the appearance of new species, occurs in the next zone (Bronze and Iron Age). In zone 3 (Iron Age and Roman), Triticum dicoccum, Triticum aestivum and Lens culinaris attain significant levels.An interesting correlation between an increase in shade-loving snail species (zone B) and increase in building activity in the same level needs to be verified by further similar studies. This level is approximately that of the end of the Vinc?a occupation, but does not precisely correlate with an archaeological transition, suggesting that new building styles may have ante-dated the full development of the Baden cultural group on the site. During the third malaco zone (zone C) most shade loving snail species decrease abruptly to make place for open country species. The spread of these species could have been caused by the partial or total abandonment of the tell. Aquatic snails, which had first appeared in the lowest habitation layers of the tell become rare towards the subsequent bronze and iron age occupation of the tell, indicating that hardly any riverine clay was used for the construction of houses within these periods. The final malaco zone, representing the disturbed iron, roman and medieval periods indicates that again open grassy slopes must have occurred on or around the tell.     

商周球铃装饰的起源与流向

本文探讨了商周时期球铃装饰的起源和流向,从发生动因、社会背景、参考原型等三个方面讨论了球铃装饰的起源,并指出在东周时期,球铃装饰衰落,球铃转而成为一种独立的装饰品,用来缝缀在服饰上。     

宣和御府印格式研究

本文将现代考古学“类型学”的方法,转用到印章学的研究之中,对所见宣和御府诸印逐一进行了样式分析与位置比较,指出,见于传世品上的宣和印,分别出自50方彼此各异的印章;并通过与《宣和书谱》、《宣和画谱》的对照,辨析出宣和真印、伪印;在此基础上,确认了每一种宣和印的“标准位置”以及宣和印的“常规组合”。还论及宣和印的钤盖原则、仿刻印与原印、宣和印的诸多称谓,以及宣和“五玺”、“六玺”、“七玺”与宣和装的关系等问题。
