安阳殷墟苗圃北地铸铜作坊探讨

The Exploration of the North Miaopu Bronze Foundry Workshop at Yinxu Site,Anyang

本文通过对殷墟苗固北地铸铜作坊相关遗存及其空间分布的分析,认为该作坊可能由多个生产生活单元组成。其生产者以小的亲缘群体为基础,同一生产生活单元内人群的构成并不单一。生产者主要是平民,地位较殷墟其他地点平民稍低,其生产、生活和埋葬都在相对固定的同一区域。“陶敛葬”是某些群体在殷都人口不断汇聚的背景下,为构建自身认同而复兴的习俗。

Based on the analysis of bronze foundry remains and their spaia distribution in Miaopu North,Yinxa Site,the author suggests that this bronze foundry consisted of several production and living units.Within a production and living unit,there were several small relatives from different sources.The producers were civilians with lower socio-economic status,and their production,living and burials were in the settled areas.“Baby burials with Pottery sherds”was a kind of ceremony,which aimed to buld self-identity in some groups under the background of the population aggregation in Shang capital.
