How I was Denied Scholastic Opportunities by the British Government

This paper describes the difficulties the author had in obtaining twice a UK visa from the British Consulate in Paris. She was once refused an academic visitor visa despite an invitation to conduct research for two years at the Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge. Then, the following year, she was denied again a short visit to attend a conference at the Department of Museum Studies, Leicester University.     

位置照片表征的景区游客拍照行为时空模式

基于九寨沟景区的地理标记照片数据,利用Voronoi图、点中心度和马尔科夫链方法,从景点、景段和风景线尺度分析游客在景区内的拍照行为模式。根据数据呈现的时间转移峰值特征和空间转移概率特征,将景点尺度下的游客拍照行为总结为邻近快速转移、多中心慢速转移、跨越缓慢转移3种模式,景段尺度下的游客拍照行为总结为单向快速转移、跨越慢速转移两种模式,风景线尺度下的游客拍照行为总结为直接快速转移和间接慢速转移两种转移模式。景区内时空转移模式整体上呈现邻近景点、景段之间的空间转移概率较大,出现拍照高峰的时间较为接近,转移概率较高的区域都集中在热度较高的景点、景段,研究结果可以为游客规划游览路径提供理论依据,为景区管理人员提供决策支持。     

中西方文化遗产旅游者感知价值差异研究

通过多维度多指标体系构建了文化遗产旅游者感知价值的测量量表,对比分析了中西方游客的感知价值差异。研究发现文化遗产旅游者感知价值由效率价值、质量价值、成本价值、服务价值、社会价值与享乐价值六个维度构成,除成本价值与感知价值负相关外,其他均正向影响感知价值。中西方游客在质量价值、成本价值和享乐价值的感知上存在显著差异。

Evidence for a Neolithic Age fire-irrigation paddy cultivation system in the lower Yangtze River Delta,China

Establishing stable cropping systems was vital in antiquity, assuring certain yields and enabling ancient people to settle, thus possibly causing various modern food habits and culture to form around the world, especially in cereal-cultivation-dominated countries. China, one of the most famous ancient agricultural countries, has a long history of rice planting, and the fire-irrigation paddy cultivation system is prevalent in the lower Yangtze region, which is considered a rice domestication center. However, its origin and cultivation pattern remain unclear. We studied a famous agricultural vestige, the Chuodun site, involved in rice planting in the lower Yangtze River Delta in eastern China, during the Neolithic Age. Clear evidence from archaeology, paleobiology, pedology and biogeochemistry suggest both that the rice fire-irrigation cultivation system formed during the Neolithic Age and that ancient peoples lived there steadily. Under this extensive cultivation system, soil structures and properties changed significantly; in particular, it left more black carbon in the soil and increased the organic carbon soil stability, which can be used to reconstruct prehistoric environments. Meanwhile, the prevalent fire-irrigation paddy cultivation system used by farmers in this area, though for a different purpose than ancient people, may be inherited from the Neolithic Age.     

不懈的探索--严文明先生访谈录

中国考古学近十几年来发生了很多的变化。这体现在理论方法水平的发展以及学术焦点的转变,这些变化的发生对考古学界的影响是怎么样呢?作为学者又应该怎么样去坚持实事求是的学风呢?我们访问了北京大学考古文博学院教授严文明先生,请他跟我们谈谈他的想法。研究心路庄丽娜(以下     

河南农村的仪式性人情及其村庄社会基础——深化理解村庄社会性质的新视域

村庄社会基础是理解仪式性人情的根本。在河南一村,仪式性人情是镶嵌在血缘关系所组织的社会秩序中的,人情的背后是道德伦理规范及其秩序状态,而人情也在不断表达和再造着这种规范和秩序。这启示我们要不断深化对村庄社会性质的理解。     

铁路与山西城镇的变动：1907—1937

本文以太原、榆次、大同、平遥、太谷、忻县、阳泉等城镇的兴衰变迁为个案,通过对铁路运输体系的发展、转运业的发达、区域经济的变迁等影响近代山西城市化进程的重要因素的系统分析,揭示了以铁路为代表的现代化交通运输体系在带动山西经济日益现代化、改变传统城镇格局、引导山西经济现代化发展方向等方面至关重要的作用。     

论徽州宗祠的遗存情况与民俗文化特征
