试论赣北地区石灰山文化

A Preliminary Study on the Shihuishan Culture in Northern Jiangxi

本文通过对赣江流域商时期诸遗存文化性质的辨析,将具有地域特色的石灰山文化与赣江中游地区的吴城文化相区分。在对石灰山文化的分期、年代及文化因素构成等基本问题分析的基础上,认为早商偏早阶段商文化部分因素已分布于赣江流域,其主要沿赣北地区南下而播及至赣江中游地区。赣江流域商时期文化的形成与发展与中原地区的文化联系十分密切,赣北地区正是商文化南下的重要交通枢纽地带,该地区所含丰富铜矿资源是商人南下的重要动因。

By analyzing the cultural natures of remains dating to the Shang period in the Gan River valley, the author suggests the Shihuishan culture be distinguished fi＇om the Wucheng culture. The chronology, date and cultural elements of this culture also indicate certain elements of the Shang culture had entered the Gan River valley by the early phrase of the Early Shang culture and even reached to the Middle Gan River valley along the river tributary. The formation and development of the Shang culture in the Gan River valley was intimately related to the Shang culture in the Central Plains. Thus, northern Jianxi was playing a key role as a transportation center for the Shang culture to go further down. It is also reasonable to believe rich copper resources in this area drew Shang people coming to the South.
