香港地区青铜时代考古及有关问题的探讨

The Bronze-Age Archaeology in Hong Kong and Some Related Problems

早在20年代初,就有港英政府的官员、医生、传教士等外籍人士在香港从事考古调查与发掘工作。从1921年到1996年的75年中,香港考古工作不断取得新的成绩。学者们对这个地区自史前时代到历史时期各个阶段的物质文化发展,已经有了比较系统的认识。在香港,青铜时代的遗址已发现90个(图一),其中近半数得到试掘或发掘,积累了丰富的资料。近10年来,香港、深圳、珠海。

Archaeological excavation began in Hong Kong in as early as the 1920s. The 75 years from 1921 to 1996 have seen continuous new discoveries. The archaeological prosperity in the last decade in Hong Kong and adjacent areas such as Shenzhen and Zhuhai has provided scholars with a systematic knowledge about the history of material development in the area. Excavation or tentative excavation has been done at about half of the ninety sites of the Bronze Age, of which Dawan and Shenwan sites have contributed good stratigraphic data for the periodization of the Bronze Age culture in Hong Kong.The Bronze culture in Hong Kong is similar to its counterpart in the Zhujiang delta, and can be divided into the early,middle and late phases,represented respectively by the 2b layer of the Dawan site, the 2a layer of the same site and some remains at the Dawan and Dongwan sites. The threes phases were concurrent respectively to the middle-late Shang and early Zhou period,the middle Western Zhou and early Spring and Autumn period, and the middle-late Spring and Autumn period.
