芜申运河环境考古与古中江流域文化传播

Environmental Archaeology of the Wushen Canal and Cultural Communication of the Ancient Zhongjiang River Basin

芜申运河是在古中江河道基础上,在漫长历史时期经不断改造而形成。考古发现该流域出土了大量崧泽、良渚文化时期的精美玉器、陶器和石器等,研究认为其在器物形制等方面与安徽凌家滩遗址等新石器文化形式类型有密切传承关系,而凌家滩遗址又与北方红山文化有密切传承关系。因此,学界一般认为古中江流域是江淮地区与宁镇山地、太湖平原区在新石器时代文化传播的重要通道,但一直未得到应有的重视和开发利用。该文通过对高淳薛城,宜兴西溪、骆驼墩等遗址地层进行环境考古研究,并将遗址地层器物与凌家滩遗址器物作比较,旨在厘清无文字记载的新石器时代文化沿古中江传播的人地关系。

The Wushen Canal was formed on the basis of the Ancient Zhongjiang River course through continuous transformation in the long historical period.Ancient Zhongjiang River basin unearthed a large number of exquisite jades,pottery and stone tools from Songze culture period to Liangzhu culture period in China.The jade,pottery and stone tools have a close relationship with the Anhui Lingjiatan heritage where unearthed a large number of jades,pottery and stone tools of Neolithic cultural forms.Anhui Lingjiatan site unearthed a large number of fine jades and other artifacts also have a close relationship with the North of the Hongshan Culture inheritance,so that the basin is an important channel between Jianghuai area and Ningzhen mountain and the plain of Taihu Lake area in the spread of Neolithic culture,but has not been given enough attention and exploitation.The project intends to compare site artifacts among Xuecheng site in Gaochun and Xixi site,Luotuodun site in Yixing.Combined with environment archeology about the site of stratigraphy to know more about the relationship between human and social development in Neolithic period.
