湖北随州市黄土岗遗址新石器时代环壕的发掘

2005年,在湖北随州市黄土岗遗址发现一处新石器时代环壕,整体近似椭圆形,南北长约316、东西宽约235米。壕沟平均宽度15～20、平均深度2.5～3米,最深处超过3.8米。沟内的出土遗物均为陶器。壕沟的形成年代应不晚于屈家岭文化晚期,延用至石家河文化早期,可能具有防御功能。     

内蒙古赤峰市康家湾遗址2006年发掘简报

2006年,对内蒙古赤峰市康家湾遗址进行发掘。该遗址以夏家店下层文化遗存为主体,遗迹有房址、墓葬、灰沟、灰坑、灶等,出土较多陶器、石器、蚌器、骨器等。该遗址不属于石城址,房址均为土坑半地穴式。它的发现,为研究阴河中下游地区夏家店下层文化的聚落形态及建筑形式提供了重要资料。     

钧窑瓷

乳光釉和窑变是钧窑的两大特点,蓝、红是钧窑瓷的两大瓷色,胎体不净、胎色不纯是钩窑资的两大缺憾。     

杭州老虎洞瓷窑遗址对研究官、哥窑的启示

本文通过对杭州老虎洞瓷窑遗址发掘材料的考察,对比杭州乌龟山宋代郊坛下官窑材料,并结合有关的文献记载和宋元时期的官手工业及官府窑业制度,论证了老虎洞修内司窑的烧造下限当延伸到南宋中叶以后,同时考定传世的哥窑瓷器当是元代设在杭州老虎洞、宋修内司窑址故地的官府窑场的产品。     

宜兴西溪遗址试掘简报

西溪遗址文化遗存可分为早、晚两个时期,早期时代相当于马家浜文化早期,晚期相当于马家浜文化向崧泽文化的过渡阶段,其资料证明太湖西部地区史前文化有着自身独特的内涵。     

湖北秭归何家坪遗址发掘简报

何家坪遗址位于湖北省秭归县郭家坝镇楚王井村11组。1996～2000年,湖北省文物考古研究所分三次对遗址进行了发掘。三次发掘面积1600平方米,清理新石器时代至明代墓葬5座、灰坑3个、窑址1处,出土了陶、石、瓷、银、铜、铁等不同质料的文化遗物百余件。该遗址年代跨度长,遗存特征比较典型,是三峡地区一处比较重要的考古发现。     

重庆云阳乔家院子遗址唐宋时期遗存

重庆市云阳乔家院子遗址是三峡库区需要抢救发掘的重要遗址之一。本着重报道了该遗址第四次发掘的唐宋时期遗存,其中以唐代瓷器和建筑材料为主。特别是瓷器,其形制与釉色兼具当地和北方地区特色,既反映了当时该地区的制瓷水平,也反映出大一统化面貌下的地区化交流。大量的唐代遗存证明,乔家院子遗址在这个时期是一个较大村落,对于当时的村镇聚落考古研究有非常重要的意义。     

刍议六朝瓷器发展之大势

长江下游地区东吴至东晋时期瓷器优势地位的产生是与当时政治背景紧密相关的，从某种意义上讲具有一定的偶然性。     

Molluscan calendars: The use of growth-line analysis to establish seasonality of shellfish collection at the Mesolithic site of Morton,Fife

The technique of growth-line analysis is used to examine seasonal growth patterns in modern specimens of the edible cockle, Cerastoderma edule L. The modern control work provides a basis for the interpretation of seasonal collection in archaeological cockles, and is applied to shells from the Mesolithic site of Morton, Fife. The seasonal use of the site is shown to be clearly related to site function.     

Fish and crayfish from the Washpool Midden site,New Zealand: Their use in determining season of occupation and prehistoric fishing methods

A method is suggested whereby modern ecological information on fish behaviour and distribution, together with commercial catch figures, may be used to assess season of occupation of archaeological sites. Monthly catch probabilities for each species are scaled by minimum numbers from prehistoric osteological assemblages to yield an overall likelihood of the fish being caught at different months of the year. A test case on two assemblages from Palliser Bay, New Zealand, suggested year-round habitation, and this was consistent with individual qualitative seasonal markers. The fishbone evidence can also be used to comment on aspects of prehistoric technology connected with marine foods, such as the use of canoes, baited traps, long line hauling, rock fishing and seine netting. In addition, the fish information substantiated subtle environmental changes which are believed to have taken place in this region.
