江苏东台开庄遗址制骨手工业试析

A Study of Bone Making Handicraft at the Kaizhuang Site in Dongtai,Jiangsu Province

开庄遗址出土了较多带有加工痕迹的骨角料,对这些骨角料进行的分析可以复原开庄遗址的制骨手工业。开庄的制骨手工业具备了专业化生产的基本特征,但是其专业化程度较低。尽管如此,其与聚落的对应关系表明,制骨手工业在史前开庄人的生产生活中占有比较重要的地位。相对于制骨作坊,开庄遗址的骨角器加工更像是整个村落或氏族统一组织管理的小规模低水平手工业生产活动。

A large number of bones and horns bearing processing marks were excavated from the Kaizhuang Site.A study of these bones and horns helps reveal the bone handicraft industry of Kaizhuang at the time.The study shows that the bone crafting at Kaizhuang had some essential features of specialized production with however low level of specialization.Nevertheless,its correspondence with the settlement indicates that the bone crafting industry played a relatively important role in the production life of the prehistoric people of Kaizhuang.Unlike the bone workshops of later times,the bone and horn processing at the Kaizhuang Site was more of a small-scale,low-level handicraft production activity conducted by the entire village or clan.
