山东临淄齐国故城内汉代铸镜作坊址的调查

The ancient city Linzi in Shandong Province was the capital of the Qi State in the Zhou Dynasty, the seat of the Qi and Linzi prefectures in the Qin-Han period, and the capital of the Qi Princedom of the Han Dynasty. In the spring of 2003, a special archaeological survey was carried out to explore mirror-casting workshops of the Han period in the city. The work resulted in the collection of 14 mirror-casting pottery molds and some related objects from the southeast of Shifotang Village and the west of Sujiamiao Village, thus the two localities can be determined to have been Han period mirror-casting workshops. Among the molds are those with herd design or connected arcs pattern, which are the first archaeological finds of this type and have high value to the study into the mirror-casting technology of the Han period. The discovery shows that the city of Linzi in the Han Dynasty was an important mirror-casting center, and that mirror casting was a part of the technology of multifunction foundries.

从绍兴传世的尚方御镜试探新朝山阴的尚方铸镜作坊

绍兴地区有传世的6面"尚方御镜",其制作年代约在西汉晚期至新朝时期。根据与其他地区出土的"尚方御镜"的比较分析,发现其在铭文、内容及纹饰上均存在着显著区别,这可能与语言、习俗等地区文化的差异有关。再结合绍兴出土汉代铜镜中的铭文等相关资料,认为传世的"尚方御镜"应为本地铸器,并在此基础上推测新朝山阴一带设有尚方铸镜作坊的可能性。
