湖北省大冶市铜绿山古铜矿冶遗址保护区调查简报

A Preliminary Investigation Report on the Protection Region of the Ancient Bronze Mining Site in Mt.Tonglv of Daye City,Hubei Province

大冶市铜绿山古铜矿遗址不仅规模大、采冶时间长、保存好,而且价值高、影响大,是国内外学界探讨中国矿冶文化和青铜文明的重要区域。2011年11月～12月,首次对保护区555.7公顷范围内进行专题调查和勘探,新发现冶炼遗址12处,可惜均遭到不同程度破坏,保存状况堪忧。通过对遗址现存面积、采集品及遗址所处位置的调查分析,加深了对保护区内冶炼遗址规模、文化内涵、遗迹形态、年代、分布特征及关系等方面的认识,不仅为遗址的抢救保护、推进矿冶考古遗址公园建设及"申遗"提供了基础资料,而且推动了该地区矿冶文明进程的研究。

The Ancient Bronze Mining Site in Mt.Tonglv of Daye City is particularly significant in the study of Chinese mining culture and bronze civilization,owing to its large space occupation,long-term mining,integrated preservation,high value,and its lasting influence.The first special investigation was carried out in the 555.7 hectares of the protected region from November to December 2011,within which twelve new mining sites were discovered.However,all of the sites were damaged and needed to be protected urgently.An analysis to the whole area was conducted and the relics collected from the sites were valuable to the study of the cultural connotation,time,and the distribution characteristics of these mining sites.Meanwhile,not only the mining sites offer basic materials for the salvage protection,the construction of the archaeological mining site park,as well as world cultural heritage application,but also promote the research on the course of the mining civilization in the area.
