岳石文化时期海岱文化区人文地理格局演变探析

On the Evolution of the Culturo-geographical Pattern in the Haidai Cultural Area during the Yueshi Culture Period

岳石文化时期海岱文化区的人文地理格局变化较大。岳石文化初期,考古遗址数量剧减,分布不均衡。之后岳石文化进入稳定的发展时期,区域内各类型似相对平衡。早商时期,商文化只是零星分布。岳石文化末期,商文化逐渐进入海岱文化区的腹地取代岳石文化,人文地理分布格局较前大为改观。

The Yueshi culture period was a dynamic epoch when the culturo-geographieal pattern in the Haidai cultural area went through a great change. In the incipient phase the sites of the Yueshi culture sharply decreased in comparison with those of the Longshan period, their distribution was un- even, and the Dongyi ethnic group migrated from place to place. Later, the Yueshi culture entered a period of steady development, when various cultural types in the Haidai area seem relatively even in dis- tribution, and exchanges between the Yueshi and other cultures took place mainly in confluent areas of borderland. In the early Shang period, the settlements of the Shang culture in the territory of the Yueshi culture were merely a few inserted points and there was a close relationship and alliance between the Shang people and the Yi people. At the late stage of the Yueshi culture, as Shang power advanced east-wards, the Shang culture gradually entered the hinterland of the Haidai cultural area and replaced the Yueshi culture, while the latter constantly shrunk back, which led to a great change of the culturo-geographical pattern in the Haidai area.
