Abstract

The Haimenkou site, located in Jianchuan County, Yunnan Province, on the bank of the Haiwei River to the southwest of the Jian Lake, is a large ancient waterfront settlement site dated as early as 2578–2464 BCE. Past excavations have revealed different cultural characteristics on each side of the Haiwei River, especially in pottery. This paper analyses the pottery sherds using petrography methods and X-Ray Fluorescence analysis (XRF) to identify the production technology and raw materials of the ceramics excavated from both sides of the Haiwei River. Based on the structure, shapes, and types of the tempers mixed in the clay, it is evident that the raw materials of pottery sherds from the two sides of the Haiwei River in the Late Neolithic likely came from different sources. People inhabited on the west side of the river deliberately selected their pottery tempers from the sediments along the Haiwei River, while those on the east possibly obtained their pottery tempers from weathered petrological sediments in nearby mountains.

初选？中国云南省西北部剑川盆地出土陶瓷的岩相分析

海门口遗址位于云南省剑川县剑湖西南的海尾河畔，是一处大型古代水边聚落遗址，年代最早可追溯到公元前 2578-2464 年。以往的发掘揭示了海尾河两岸不同的文化特征，尤其是陶器。本文利用岩石学方法和 X 射线荧光分析法（XRF）对陶片进行分析，以确定海尾河两岸出土陶器的制作工艺和原料。根据陶土的结构、形状和混合釉料的类型，可以看出新石器时代晚期海尾河两岸出土陶器的原料可能来自不同的地方。居住在河西的人们特意从海尾河沿岸的沉积物中挑选陶质，而居住在河东的人们则可能从附近山区的风化岩石沉积物中获得陶质。

期刊介绍： Archaeological Research in Asia presents high quality scholarly research conducted in between the Bosporus and the Pacific on a broad range of archaeological subjects of importance to audiences across Asia and around the world. The journal covers the traditional components of archaeology: placing events and patterns in time and space; analysis of past lifeways; and explanations for cultural processes and change. To this end, the publication will highlight theoretical and methodological advances in studying the past, present new data, and detail patterns that reshape our understanding of it. Archaeological Research in Asia publishes work on the full temporal range of archaeological inquiry from the earliest human presence in Asia with a special emphasis on time periods under-represented in other venues. Journal contributions are of three kinds: articles, case reports and short communications. Full length articles should present synthetic treatments, novel analyses, or theoretical approaches to unresolved issues. Case reports present basic data on subjects that are of broad interest because they represent key sites, sequences, and subjects that figure prominently, or should figure prominently, in how scholars both inside and outside Asia understand the archaeology of cultural and biological change through time. Short communications present new findings (e.g., radiocarbon dates) that are important to the extent that they reaffirm or change the way scholars in Asia and around the world think about Asian cultural or biological history.
