北齐韩祖念墓位于山西太原市北郊区小井峪乡小井峪村。太原市文物考古研究所对其进行发掘,共出土了22件鎏金铜器和金银器。利用无线显微镜、X射线荧光能谱仪等科技手段,对这些器物进行无损科学分析。研究结果表明,鎏金铜器均为铸造而成,然后采用金汞齐表面热处理,金银器在技术和风格上均受到了西域文化的影响。研究成果为全面了解北齐时期金属器制作技术的发展提供了重要的科学依据。

Scientific analysis of gilt metal objects and gold and silver wares unearthed from the Han Zunian Tomb of the Northern Qi Dynasty

Twenty-two gilt metal objects and gold and silver wares dating back to the Northern Qi Dynasty were unearthed from the Han Zunian Tomb in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province in 1982. I used microscopy and X-ray fluorescence, two nondestructive methods, to study these relics. I found that (1) the gilt bronzes were formed by casting and then were surface-treated using heated gold amalgam and (2) the technology and the style of the gold and silver wares were influenced by the cultures of Xiyu (or the Western Regions, including what is now Xinjiang and parts of Central Asia). The research results provide important scientific information for the comprehensive understanding and further study of metal-ware technologies of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
