成都平原夏商西周时期小平底罐研究

On the Motifs of Cattle Profile on Shang-Zhou Bronzes

本文对成都平原夏商西周时期小平底陶罐进行了细致的类型学研究,将其划分为两期六段。在此基础上,结合数量、形制特征和分布范围,梳理出成都平原小平底罐发展和衰落的清晰脉络,并尝试对其中存在的某些现象进行解释。小平底罐的用途在早晚两期不尽相同,到了晚期晚段,除作为炊器外,还很可能用作盛食器。本文的研究还表明十二桥遗址出土小平底罐共时性不强,并不适合作为十二桥文化分期的典型遗址。峡江地区的小平底罐也可以分为六组,与成都平原的六个阶段相对应。成都平原小平底罐出现年代略早,序列更完整,应该是小平底罐类器分布的核心区域,与峡江地区有着密切的文化交流。

This article presents a fine-grained typological study of little fiat-bottom jars unearthed from the Chengdu Plain during pre-Qin period. We divide them into two phases and six sub-phases. Taking elements such as the quantities of discovery, shape and morphology, as well as distributional pattern into consideration, this paper reconstructs the trajectories depicting the rise and fall of little fiat-bottom jars in the Chengdu Plain. What＇s more, this paper offers some explanations for the development related to this type of material culture. First, the function of little fiat-bottom jars differed between its early and late phases. During its last phase, it was likely that they were used as food containers besides cooking utensils. Second, our research also shows that little fiat-bottom jars from the Shierqiao site might not all be contemporary and thus should not be viewed as representative remains of the Shierqiao culture. Third, little flat-bottom jars unearthed from the Xiajiang region can be divided into six groups, which correspond to the six sub-phases of the assemblages in the Chengdu Plain. However, little flat-bottom jars from the Chengdu Plain appeared relatively earlier and represented a more complete sequence. Therefore, suggests that the distributional pattern of little fiat-bottom jars suggests that the Chengdu Plain should be the core area and maintained a close relationship with the Xiajiang region.
