Abstract

Abstract In 2006, the Majiayuan Cemetery of the Warring States period (475 BCE to 221 BCE) was discovered in Zhangjiachuan county of Gansu province, northwest China. The thousands of exquisite gold/silver artifacts, bronze wares, potteries, and beads unearthed, and have attracted great interest when investigating the dynamics of exchange, mobility, and transcultural encounters in Eurasian artifacts. During the excavation, plenty of blue and purple faience beads were found arranged around the tomb owner in grave M52. Faience beads of the same style unearthed from other graves of the region indicate their mature production at the time of burials. By adopting scientific methods for the chemical and compositional characterization of the faience beads, this study explained their materials and production techniques and provided new insights into faience production in the late Warring States period.

马家院墓园出土的战国彩珠:特征与新认识

2006年，在中国西北部甘肃省张家川县发现了战国时期(公元前475年至公元前221年)的马家院墓地。数千件精美的金银制品、青铜器、陶器和珠子出土，在研究欧亚文物的交流、流动和跨文化接触的动态时，引起了极大的兴趣。在挖掘过程中，在M52号墓室的主人周围发现了大量的蓝色和紫色彩陶珠。从该地区的其他坟墓中出土的相同风格的彩陶珠子表明，它们在埋葬时已经成熟。采用科学的方法对彩珠的化学成分进行表征，阐明彩珠的材料和制作工艺，为研究战国后期彩珠的制作提供新的思路。

Development and application of analytical and imaging methods or equipments for non-invasive, non-destructive or portable analysis of artwork and objects of cultural significance to identify component materials, degradation products and deterioration markers. Development and application of invasive and destructive methods for understanding the provenance of objects of cultural significance. Development and critical assessment of treatment materials and methods for artwork and objects of cultural significance. Development and application of statistical methods and algorithms for data analysis to further understanding of culturally significant objects. Publication of reference and corpus datasets as supplementary information to the statistical and analytical studies above.
