白水下河遗址陶鬲的制法

On the Manufacturing Techniques of Li Tripods from the Xiahe Site in Baishui

陶鬲的制法与器物的类型学研究密切相关,本文通过对白水下河遗址2005年发掘出土的30余件陶鬲进行细致观察,分析其制法,进而将这批陶鬲进行分型和讨论。从制法细节来看,不同的制法导致了器物形态的具体差异,将制法与形态结合,可以这批陶鬲可分为五型,但难以分式,通过地层出土频率的统计,可以发现这些器物的数量变化体现了一种非单线进化的器物演进过程。这一器物的演进过程反映了技术、人和考古学文化的复杂性。

Manufacturing technique should be a critical component in the study of the typology of li tripods. Based on meticulous observation of about 30 pieces of li tripods excavated from the Xiahe site in Baishui county in 2005, this article tries to reconstruct their manufacturing techniques in order to better develop a typological study on this dataset. According to the observation, the author proposes that difference in manufacturing techniques will direcdy lead to variation in the morphology of artifacts. By synthesizing the discussion of manufacturing techniques and typol- ogy, the author suggests tbat these li tripods can be divided into five types. Even though chronological styles cannot be subdivided, the frequencies of these five types in stratigraphic layers clearly rejects the possibility of a linear-evolu- tionary sequence of these ceramics. Therefore, the evolution of artifacts can shed light on the technology, human so- ciety and the complexity of archaeological cultures.
