安阳王古道村周代贵族墓四题

2004年8—9月，考古人员在安阳市王古道村发掘出两座保存完好的周代贵族墓葬。研究表明，它们的下葬年代很可能在西周末或春秋初年，墓主应是卫国的“士”级贵族，其中M2为男性，M1为女性，二者是夫妻异穴合葬墓。发掘者对三类器物的定名有误，其中M1出土的圭形铜片应该定名为“要”，是一种用于遮障棺柩、标志贵族身份的礼仪丧葬器物。此外，M1出土的以铜鱼为核心的饰棺用器，其长方形的平面形状可能代表了古文献所谓“士一池”的社会等级。

Festival Elements: A Source of Inspiration for Contemporary Fashionable Products

Festivals are intrinsic aspects of the culture of a group of people and allow displaying interesting crafts and elements such as fabrics, symbols, folktales, and paraphernalia. The dynamism in the culture is vast but unexplored as inspiration for the creation of products. This created the need to explore the possibility of designing contemporary print and products from these crafts and elements from two festivals (Aboakyir and Gologo) using Adobe Photoshop in the design process. This phenomenon necessitated the consideration of this project which was undertaken by employing the design-based practice coupled with observation as an instrument. Elements related to the festivals were identified and using the design process, print designs were developed and further simulated on different products. This practice seeks to promote the cultural heritage of the people to a wider populace and the world at large. It is recommended that the Traditional Council should have a museum or gallery for keeping the artworks used in their festivals for archival purposes.

宝鸡凉泉汉墓出土玉人分析

本文从宝鸡市凉泉村汉墓所处地理位置、汉代统治者的行为、地域性设畤祭祀习俗等方面,对墓地出土玉人的原因进行了初步分析,认为其原属秦汉时期的祭祀礼器,所代表的真实身份并非普通人牺、人殉,应是具有沟通人、神能力的巫师。

汉代墓内设奠现象与祭奠器再研究

西汉中晚期以后,在汉代墓葬的前室或者棺前常发现由案、耳杯等器物呈现的墓内设奠现象,有学者称之为"墓内祭祀"。对于这一现象,此前学界已给予较多关注。在洛阳30.14号汉墓的发掘报告中,发掘者将墓室前堂发现的陶案等器物组合认定为营造宴饮礼仪空间的陶明器[1]。而在洛阳烧沟汉墓的发掘中,对于发现的多座墓室前堂或棺前设置陶案或漆木案等器物组合,发掘者认为这是一组祭奠器,是灵前设奠的家具[2]。

殷墟车马器补议

本文细致梳理了殷墟遗址所见的马衔、马额饰、轭首、兽形铜扣和带环铜箍等五类车马器。指出这些器物是在殷墟时期新出现,但是在西周以后发生了较大形制变化或迅速消失。这些车马器的出现、演变与消亡,一方面体现了晚商时代车马系驾技术、水平的演进和对车马掌控能力的加强,另一方面反映了晚商时代人们对于车马使用在意识形态上的认知与态度。
