毛家坪B组遗存再认识

Re-examination of the Ceramic Assemblage B Remains from the Maojiaping Site

毛家坪B组遗存特征鲜明,结合目前最新考古发现,其器物类型更加丰富,可分为甲、乙两类。甲类遗存为双鋬鬲、双耳鬲,且早期体形较大,大袋足,足跟由柱足发展到铲足。乙类遗存为双耳罐、单耳罐、双鋬罐、高领罐等,陶色斑驳,夹砂陶,烧制火候低,陶质疏松。前者主要源于李家崖文化,后者主要源于寺洼文化,毛家坪B组遗存是两种文化不断融合的产物。

The ceramic assemblage B remains from the Maojiaping site in Gangu represents a type of distinctive archaeological culture.The latest archaeological discoveries have enriched our understanding about those remains.In general,the assemblage B remains can be divided into two groups.Group Ⅰ ceramics includes li tripod with two pan-handles,and li tripods with two ring-handles.Li vessels of the early period are relatively large with big hallow legs.Also,the lobes attached to the bottom of each hallow leg changed from the column-shape to shavel-shape.Group Ⅱ includes double ring-handed jar,single ring-handled jar,double pan-handled jar,and long-necked jar.The colors of ceramic of this group vary greatly.Also,ceramics of this group are sand-tempered with low firing-temperature and loose texture.This paper suggests that the first group of remains was associated with the Lijiaya culture,while the latter one was derived from the Siwa culture.In other words,the Assemblage B remains were the hybrid of two different archaeological cultures.
