试论川西北高原仰韶时代晚期遗存

Experimental Discussion of Late Yangshao Period Remains in the Northwest Sichuan Plateau

川西北高原位于四川省西北部,主要包括以阿坝藏族羌族自治州马尔康市、金川县为中心的大渡河上游地区和以县为中心的大渡河上游地区和以茂县、汶川县为中心的岷江上游地区。历年来在川西北高原发现了多处仰韶时代晚期遗存(图一)。早在1920年,澳大利亚传教士叶长青(J.H.Edgar)在汶川县威州姜维城遗址进行调查时就发现过马家窑文化彩陶。

Late Yangshao Period remains widely distributed throughout the northwestern Sichuan Plateau are typically represented by four sites: Liujiazhai and Haxiu in the upper Dadu River, and Jiangweicheng and Yingpanshan in the upper Min River. These types of remains are not only closely related to Majiayao and Dadiwan Phase Ⅳ cultures but are also distinct from both. Prominent markers of late Yangshao period remains in the northwestern Sichuan Plateau are diminishing double-lipped point-bottomed bottles, basins with carinated bellies and shoulders, painted pottery with a combination of Majiayao styles and local characteristics, distinctive dwelling sites, as well as a “mixed” subsistence mode. Thus, these types of remains might be named the “Jiangweicheng culture”, dating to 5300-4800 BP.
