区域系统调查视野下的江汉平原地区陶家湖-笑城城址聚落形态观察

Observation of the Settlement Patten of Taojiahu and Xiaocheng Sites in Jianghan Plain Area from the Perspective of Systematic Regional Survey

陶家湖与笑城两座新石器时代城址位于汉水以北、大洪山东南麓向江汉平原的过渡前沿,是探讨长江中游地区文明进程的重要区域。调查显示,两城址处于两个独立聚落群的中心位置,规模虽有大小之别,但都是由内至外、逐步被开发。在开发时间上,陶家湖聚落群远早于笑城城址,但笑城城址在历史时期经历了一个漫长了发展过程。在时间关系上,二者共存于屈家岭文化晚期和石家河文化时期,但在空间关系上具有相对的独立性。

The two Neolithic sites of Taojiahu and Xiaocheng are located in the north of Hanshui River and in the frontier area of the transition of Southeastern foot of Dahongshan Mountain to Jianghan Plain. This is an important region to explore the civilization development in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. In the winter of 2013, a systematic regional survey was conducted of the two sites as well as the area between them. The survey showed that the two sites were located in the centers of two independent settlements. Though different in size, they were both gradually developed from inside to outside. In terms of time, Taojiahu settlement was developed far earlier than Xiaocheng Site which went through a long process of development. Besides, the two sites coexisted in the late period of Qujialing culture and the period of Shijiahe culture, but were relatively independent in special relations.
