中亚楚斯特文化的发现与研究综述

Literature Review of the Discovery and Research of the Chust Culture in Central Asia

楚斯特文化是目前已知中亚费尔干纳盆地最早的农业文化,年代在青铜时代晚期,即公元前2千纪末至前1千纪初,以手制彩陶为突出特征。楚斯特文化不仅对于认识中亚青铜时代晚期的考古学文化,而且对于探讨东西方文化的交流意义重大。过去很长一段时间,我们对中亚的考古材料及研究现状不够了解,导致对相关问题的讨论无法深入。近年来,对一些楚斯特文化遗址进行了重新发掘,获得了重要的新材料,修订、拓展了以往的认识,为楚斯特文化的研究注入了新的活力。对楚斯特文化的发现与研究进行系统梳理,将为学界对相关问题的深入讨论奠定基础。

The Chust culture is presently the earliest known agricultural culture in the Fergana Basin of Central Asia,dating back to the late Bronze Age,roughly from the end of the 2nd millennium BCE to the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE,with handmade painted pottery as its prominent feature.The significance of the Chust culture extends not only to understanding the archaeological cultures of the late Bronze Age in Central Asia but also to exploring the significance of cultural exchanges between the East and the West.For a long time,our understanding of archaeological materials and research status in Central Asia has been insufficient,resulting in discussions on related issues being limited.In recent years,some Chust culture sites have been re-excavated,yielding important new materials that have revised and expanded our previous understanding,injecting new vitality into the study of the Chust culture.Systematically reviewing the discovery and research of the Chust culture will lay the foundation for further discussions in academia on related issues.
