铅同位素示踪方法应用于考古研究的进展

Achievements in Applying Pb-Isotope Analysis to Ancient Chinese Bronzes

应用Pb同位素示踪方法对中国青铜时代考古遗址出土青铜器进行研究 ,在商代青铜器中发现很多器物含有十分罕见的高放射成因铅 ;将从黄河流域到长江流域出土含高放射成因铅青铜器的这些商代遗址串联起来 ,可以得到一条“青铜之路”

Analyzing numerous ancient Chinese bronze objects unearthed at the archaeological sites by lead isotopic method, the author found that a major portion of Shang (1 600～1 100 B.C.) bronzes contained a kind of high-radiogenic lead.The research results suggest that there existed a ‘bronze road’ linking the Shang sites in both the Yellow River valley and the Yangtze River valley in Shang dynasty.
