殷商青铜器矿料来源与铅同位素示踪应用

Application of lead-isotope tracing in resource provenance of the Shang bronze vessels

出土地点相距较远的殷商青铜器具有相似的铅同位素组成特征 ,却与周代以后的青铜器存在明显的差异 ,具有异常铅同位素组成的殷商青铜器 ,其资源产地却是一个谜 .地质、地球化学与考古学的多学科综合研究 ,特别是铅同位素示踪方法的应用可能是解开这个谜底的重要途径 .

The Shang bronze vessels derived from the different places are similar in the lead-isotope compositions. With high radioactive lead features, the bronze vessels of the Shang dynasty are dissimilar to those of the Zhou and the later dynasties. The resource provenance of the Shang bronze vessels is lost in mystery. Comprehensive research of geology, geochemistry and archaeology, especially, lead-isotope tracing may be the path to solving the mystery.
