二里头绿松石牌饰镶嵌工艺的起源问题研究

Research on Origin of Inlay Techniques of Turquoise-inlaid Plaques of Erlitou Culture

通过梳理二里头文化出土的绿松石制品,归纳出该文化绿松石镶嵌工艺的六项标准,并与西北、中原和海岱三个地区的史前绿松石制品进行比较研究,发现西北和中原地区的绿松石制品应是填充或填嵌工艺制成的,尚属较为落后的工艺传统。海岱龙山文化的绿松石制品应为镶嵌工艺制成的,与二里头绿松石牌饰的镶嵌工艺特征相同,且在纹饰结构和寓意上与二里头绿松石牌饰相似。这表明二里头文化绿松石牌饰的镶嵌工艺应来自海岱龙山文化。

In this article,turquoise artifacts of Erlitou Culture are sorted out and 6 standards of inlay techniques applied in their production are then deduced.There is also a comparative study of turquoise artifacts of Erlitou Culture and prehistoric turquoise artifacts unearthed in three areas,respectively Northwest China,the Central Plains and Haidai Region.It has been found that either filling techniques or caulking techniques were adopted in the making of turquoise artifacts unearthed in Northwest China and the Central Plains,and that both kinds of techniques are comparatively primitive.Turquoise artifacts of Longshan Culture unearthed in Haidai Region were crafted via inlay techniques,which have been found the same with the inlay techniques used in the making of turquoise-inlaid plaques of Erlitou Culture.In terms of decorative patterns and implied meanings,they are also similar to the turquoise-inlaid plaques of Erlitou Culture.These finds show that the inlay techniques used in the making of turquoise-inlaid plaques of Erlitou Culture should come from Longshan Culture of Haidai Region.
