卡约文化青铜器初步研究

A Preliminary Study of Bronzes in the Kayao Culture

根据陶器的编年研究可将卡约文化划分为湟水流域和黄河流域两个区域,各区域的文化可分为六期。在分区和分期基础上,可以对卡约文化青铜器的类型和组合作进一步探讨。两个区域青铜器存在差异。卡约文化青铜器具有自身因素、中原以及北方系青铜器因素和欧亚北部的因素。

A chronological study of its pottery suggests that the Kayao culture remains can be divided into the groups of Huangshui River and Yellow River valleys and each group fall into six phases. On this basis the typology and combination of bronzes in the Kayao culture can be further studied.The results indicate that bronze-making technology in the Huangshui River valley was higher than that in the Yellow River valley,and that the sexual difference of tomb-owners is reflected from the distinction of funeral objects.Furthermore,the chronological study of the Kayao's bronzes provides reference data for dating the phases of this culture.These bronzes possess three categories of cultural elements:the ele- ments of their own,common elements of bronzes in the Central Plains and North China,and those in northern Eurasia.
