越王勾践剑菱形纹饰技术再讨论——与董亚巍、周卫荣、王昌燧先生商榷兼谈科技考古方法问题

Study on Technology of Lozenge Patter on Sword of Goujian:Discussion with Dong Yawei,Zhou Weirong,Wang Changsui on Methods in Scientific archaeology

本文简介了已完成科学检测与模拟试验的东周青铜剑菱形暗格纹的成分、组织与形成工艺,认为金属膏剂涂层加热扩散工艺是东周时期唯一的、完全可能实现的、使青铜表面富锡和细晶化的表面装饰工艺;认为菱形纹饰呈黑色是特定埋藏条件下形成的;解释了越王勾践剑未见铭文错金的原因。并就此与董亚巍、周卫荣、王昌燧等先生进行商榷。

his paper briefly introduces the experimental test on the composition and craft of incised lozenge pattern on bronze swords of the Eastern Zhou dynasty, and identifies that the metal extract co- ating and heating technique was the only possible way to produce the tin layer on bronze swords and crystallized decoration during the Eastern Zhou dynasty. Furthermore, the paper proposes that the dark color of the pattern was determined by the burial condition. It also explains the reason that gold inlay is absent from the inscriptions on the Goujian sword.
