山东地区商文化聚落形态演变初探

A Preliminary Study of the Settlement Pattern of the Shang Culture in the Shandong Region

本文考察了山东地区商文化的聚落形态演变过程及其历史背景。商文化聚落形态在山东地区经历了四个阶段的变化:早商时期仅济南大辛庄一处遗址;中商时期遗址数量增加并在泰沂山脉两侧形成了规模较大的聚落群;晚商早期遗址数量保持稳定但等级较高的遗址处于衰落状态;晚商晚期不但遗址总数而且等级较高的遗址数量都明显增加,还出现了像苏埠屯这样的高规格墓地。这一聚落形态的演变反映了商文化在山东地区东扩的连续性与阶段性。

The eastward expansion of the Shang culture in Shandong area had undergone four phases according to the change of settlement patterns. There was only one site in the early Shang period, The Shang culture sites expanded dramatically and formed some distinct settlement groups in the middle Shang period. In the early time of the late Shang period followed a stable number of sites , but the distribution pattern was different. At last , the climax came with more high standard sites at the end of late Shang period, The background of the process was discussed with the aid of historical documents here.
