皖南古铜矿冶炼产物的输出路线

The Exporting Route of Smelted Products of Ancient Copper Ores from the Southern Anhui

青铜器矿料来源是一个十分重要的考古学课题,是探索我国青铜制造技术起源、传播和发展的基础之一。本研究综合地质、冶金、化学等理论和方法,从铜矿石、炼渣和铜锭间的微量元素对比分析入手,探索不同微量元素在冶炼过程中的元素化学亲合性及冶炼产物中的特征或指纹元素,为探索皖南乃至整个长江中下游地区古铜矿冶炼产物的输出路线提供科学的判别依据。

The sources of materials for bronze making are of importance for the inquiry of the origin and development of bronze technology .It is an issue of much complexity, since bronze is an artificial alloy of many ore sources, each being smelted by a special process. Scholars have tried to i-dentify these sources by looking at their trace elements. But method of lead-isotopic contrast has turned out to be unsuccessful due to the incomparability of bronze and its ore sources.The present article presents itself as a comparative study of the ancient copper-making slag and ingots found in Southern Anhui in regard to the characteristics of their trace elements and chemical affinity related to the smelting process.The indicative elements or distinguishing mark therefore identified shed light on the exporting route of the copper ingots in those days.
