大甸子墓地出土的海贝墓葬及其研究

Seashell Burials Unearthed From Dai Dian Zi Cemetery and Their Research

青铜时代早期的夏家店下层文化位于西辽河流域,其聚落数量的陡增和文化上展现的多元结构体系,都体现了夏家店下层文化的强盛。陶鬲、甗等器物的大量出现改变了以筒形罐为代表的西辽河地区史前文化传统,同时,作为舶来品的海贝也开始大量在西辽河地区出现,这些都应与夏家店下层文化的兴盛有关。众所周知,海贝在商周时期用来当作货币,而夏家店下层文化中的海贝也应有类似作用。本文就此问题结合随葬海贝的墓葬进行分析说明。

Xiajiadian's lower culture in the early Bronze Age was located in the Xiliao River Basin.The sharp increase of the number of settlements and the multi-cultural structure system reflected the strong Xiajiadian's lower culture.The appearance of a large number of pottery and jade changed the prehistoric cultural tradition of the Xiliao River area represented by tubular pots,which were used as exotic products.Seashells also began to appear in large numbers in the West Liaohe region,which should be related to the prosperity of Xiajiadian lower culture.As we all know,seashells were used as money in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties,and seashells in Xiajiadian's lower culture should also have a similar role.This paper intends to analyze this problem,combined with the burial of seashells.
