The Starting Era of Extraction and Related Problems of the Site of Daye Tonglushan Ancient Copper Mine

文章对以往铜绿山发现的古代露采坑、地下井巷支护、出土青铜工具、陶器及铅同位素示踪、碳十四测年等遗存和学术观点进行了系统疏理,对比分析了近10年来周边地区的先秦考古资料后认为,铜绿山古代铜矿的开采程序是由先露采发展为地下开采;地下井巷开采技术大概始于商代中期或中期晚段,历经西周、春秋战国,延至汉代,后世袭之;进而判定Ⅺ、Ⅰ、Ⅱ号矿体的古代露天采场(坑)的肇始年代不晚于夏代早期,铜绿山可能为江南古铜矿开采的源头之一。
