辽宁彰武地区青铜时代石器分析与聚落形态研究

Use-wear Analysis and Research on Settlement patterns of Bronze Age Sites in Zhangwu, Liaoning

一、引言长期以来,人们一直认为中国东北地区专门化的游牧部族出现在青铜时代晚期(公元前1200~前600年)。理论上,专门化游牧人群与定居化农业者之间的互动,对该地域社会复杂性的增加有促进作用。然而,能够证明中国东北地区游牧经济萌芽的聚落和生计证据尚显不足,导致游牧者与农业者之间互动的理论缺乏材料支持。本研究旨在探究以下两个问题的答案:(1)在青铜时代晚期气候变得温暖干燥的条件下,对于有些社区而言。

The Bronze Age in Northeast China has been long theorized to have taken part in a dramatic economic shift from sedentary agriculture to herding animals and residential mobility. This paper looks at the lithic use-wear evidence collected through regional survey in Zhangwu,Liaoning, China to investigation this potential shift. The evidence suggests that while there is significant population decline by the Late Bronze Age the nature of the subsistence economy remained largely intact. This paper describes the lithic evidence including the use-wear patterns in respect to their locations in the regional landscape. While the local environmental conditions do affect the patterns of activity distribution, the appearance of a specialized herding economy does not appear to occur.
