This study uses quarrying analysis, geological survey, and the retrieval of geological ma- terial in order to attempt to probe the origins of stone artifacts at Panlongcheng, and to analyze the strategies ancient people living at Panlongcheng used to manipulate stone. We conclude that the majori- ty of stone raw material found at Panlongcheng came from the foothills of Dabieshan to the north of the site. During the development of stone quarrying, the people of Panlongcheng were fully cognizant of the nature of stone raw materials, their potential functions. We also conclude that there may have been a stone production site close-by to the Panlongcheng site.

本文通过对盘龙城遗址出土石器进行矿相分析,同时结合地质调查与地质资料的检索,认为盘龙城石器所采用的石料应当来自于盘龙城北部大别山南麓地区。在石料开发上,盘龙城古代居民充分地认知到石料的特性,并会考虑石器的功能与使用方式,适当选材,同时盘龙城周边地区可能存在专业的石器生产地点以及向盘龙城运输的路线。 

The present study utilizes the methods of archaeological survey, sedimentology, GIS mapping, petrography, and soil micromorphology to show that the Shang Dynasty settlement of Pan- longcheng is situated upon a landmass that made up primarily of rolling hillocks made of a network of red soil and built-up lake and riverine sediment. It was found that prior to the Shang period, the lower- ing of the lake and riverine water table cause the lake sediment to be exposed, providing necessary foun- dational material for the creation of the Panlongcheng settlement. It was also found that the Shang resi- dents of Panlongcheng conducted large amounts of terraforming in order to adapt ideally to suit settle- ment development. This analysis shows that there is an intimate relationship between the development of Panlongcheng as a settlement and the changes to the local geology.

本文通过地质考古勘探和典型剖面的沉积物分析,利用GIS支持下的空间统计、粒度分析和土壤微结构分析的方法,揭示了商代盘龙城聚落主要分布于由网纹红土构成的低丘岗地和河湖相沉积物构成的临湖滩地两个主要的地貌单元上。商代之前河湖水位的下降使得临湖滩地充分暴露,为商代盘龙城聚落的兴起提供了基础条件,同时商代盘龙城居民对杨家湾一带岗地进行了大规模的整饬活动,以适应聚落发展的需要。此项研究成果初步表明盘龙城聚落的发展与地貌演化存在着密切关系。

Suizhong Mijia Ding was a dowry made for a Chu princess during the middle stage of the Spring and Autumn Period. This ding is massive in volume, with exquisite decorations and sophisticated casting technologies, that renders a perfect visual effect. Through the analysis of the ding’s characteristics, this paper concludes that these characteristics was a signifier for the identity of the upper class nobles, and as a lens which the nobles displayed their ideals on ritual vessels. clues to how we understand the native bronze styles from the midstream area of the Yangtze River.

随仲嬭加鼎为春秋中期一件楚王所作媵器。此鼎体量高大、纹饰精致、铸造工艺十分考究,整体给人以极佳的视觉效果。本文通过对此鼎的观察并对上述特征进行分析,认为这些特点反映了其背后所代表的高等级贵族身份,同时,也反映出这一时期高等级贵族对于传统礼器的看法。

Tomb No.M26 was a high-rank tomb found in the Yangjiazui Site, Panlongcheng, exca- vated in 2014. Many bronze wares fragments were unearthed from this tomb. Although the quality of the bronzes was generally high, casting defects were also found in some of these samples, and attempts to correct these defects could be seen on some of these samples.

盘龙城杨家嘴遗址M26为2014年发现的一座高等级贵族墓,出土有多件青铜器。这批青铜器总体制作较为精良,但受二里岗文化时期青铜器制作水平的局限,个别器物在合范、浇铸等环节上仍存在一些问题。针对这些问题,铸工们采取了不同的补救措施。
