长江中游地区史前陶窑及其与陶器生产初探

Preliminary Study on Prehistoric Pottery Kiln As Well As Pottery Production in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River

长江中游地区明确发现的陶窑设施最早见于大溪文化时期,自此先后经历了同穴窑、横穴窑、竖穴窑之间的替代演变,并且表现出明显的区域特征差异。伴随着陶窑形制的变化,在不同考古学文化时期,长江中游地区史前陶窑的细部结构尤其是建造方式、火道、窑室、操作间等方面也表现出自身的特征,而这些又直接关系到陶器烧造技术的变化和改良。在结构和技术演变的基础上,陶窑及其附属设施的组合和布局也反映出陶器生产的技术流程和专业化规模存在着时空区别。

The earliest kilns in the Middle Yangtze River Valley appeared in the Daxi Culture and showed an evolutionary development form the single-room kiln, through the horizontal kiln to the vertical kiln. Kilns in this area exhibit some important characteristics on construction methods, structures of the fire channel, firing chamber and attached working pit. The location of kilns and pertaining features at some sites provide enlightening information on the analysis of specialization of pottery industry in this area through time.
