试论贵州夜郎地区铁器冶铸技术由来

Origin of the Iron Smelting and Casting Technology in Yelang Area of Guizhou

从与周边地区政权或势力的经济往来和所出土的具有较强民族特征的铁器来看,贵州夜郎地区对铁的冶铸技术存在着从巴蜀地区直接传入和间接传入两种形式。间接传入即为夜郎当地民族从巴蜀输入的铁器或是青铜器上所学而来。

Yelang area had economic cooperation with its neighboring districts. Also in Yelang were unearthed some iron wares with distinct national characteristics. By these evidences,one can figure out that the iron smelting and casting technology in this area was directly or indirectly introduced from Sichuan,and the indirect introduction means that Yelang natives got this technology by studying the iron wares or bronze wares from Sichuan.
