仪式经济视角下的二次扰乱葬:以东灰山墓地为例

On the Socio-Economic Factors in the Funeral Process

墓葬遗存是考古学的主要研究对象。一切墓葬遗存的形成都是葬仪过程的直接结果,而葬仪过程是由生者主导的。传统墓葬分析多侧重于随葬品等物质遗存,而对墓葬考古情景形成背后文化过程(即葬仪)的思考和研究甚少。因此,通过对墓葬遗存及其背后所反映的仪式过程和相关社会、经济因素的研究是理解和重建史前社会的一个重要切入点。本文运用仪式经济的视角,尝试从葬仪过程的经济维度对河西走廊东灰山青铜时代墓地的二次扰乱葬现象进行分析,以揭示该墓地葬仪背后反映的社会动因和机制。
