欧亚大陆东部复合范铜铸件的起源与初步扩散过程管窥

Preliminary Study on the Origin and Initial Spread of Compound Mold Castings in Eastern Eurasia

中国青铜时代铸造技术与铸件起源是学界近几年十分引人注目的课题之一。其中,复合范铜铸件与铸造技术的起源与扩散问题是一个重要分支。在技术层面上,该问题涉及到二里头和商周青铜器铸造技术的源流;在文化层面上,涉及青铜时代各个地区的文化交流、族群迁移。本文尝试在欧亚大陆东部大不同区域生态、文化和社会互动的视野背景下讨论复合范铜铸件的扩散过程。

Early metallurgy has been considered as one of the most essential factors to the development of Chinese civilization,and the controversy on its origin has been going on for decades.The origin and the initial spread of the Compound-molds castings is one of the most important concerns.In terms of technique,it involves the origin of casting in Erlitou period and Shang and Zhou dynasty;on the cultural level,it involves cultural exchanges and ethnic migration in various regions of the Bronze Age.This paper attempts to discuss the process of spread of Compound-molds castings in the context of ecological,cultural and social interactions in diferent regions of Eastern Eurasia.
