Abstract

Aspects of the Early Bronze Age (ca. 2050–1640 BCE) pottery production technology and knowledge transfer in the Central Plains of China (i.e., the Zhengzhou-Luoyang area) were studied. To this aim, 120 domestic pottery samples and ten geological samples from two central sites at Xinzhai and Huadizui were studied macroscopically and analysed with X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Based on a discussion of macroscopical evidence and chemical composition, the results tentatively indicate the technological knowledge transfer between the potters in Xinzhai and Huadizui sites despite being located about 80 km apart. Pottery of the same category was manufactured with similar selection and preparation strategies of ceramic raw materials, decorated with similar patterns, and adopted similar forming techniques. More specifically, the cookware from the Xinzhai and Huadizui sites was hand-made and Ca-poor, while the storage- and drinking wares were wheel-made and Ca-rich. These results likely indicate the existence of one overarching community of practice, potters located at Xinzhai and Huadizui, who shared strategies for raw materials selection, paste preparation, and finishing.
中原地区青铜时代早期陶器生产的技术选择与实践:以新寨和花地嘴遗址为中心
研究了中国中原地区(即郑州-洛阳地区)青铜时代早期(约公元前 2050-1640 年)陶器生产技术和知识传播的各个方面。为此,对来自新寨和花地嘴两个中心遗址的 120 件国内陶器样品和 10 件地质样品进行了宏观研究和 X 射线荧光光谱分析。根据对宏观证据和化学成分的讨论,结果初步表明,尽管新寨遗址和花地嘴遗址相距约 80 公里,但两处遗址的陶工之间存在技术知识的转移。同类陶器的制造采用了相似的陶瓷原料选择和制备策略,装饰有相似的图案,并采用了相似的成型技术。更具体地说,新寨遗址和花地嘴遗址出土的炊器是手工制作的,钙含量低;而储物器和饮酒器则是轮制的,钙含量高。这些结果很可能表明,新寨和花地嘴遗址的陶工存在一个总体的实践社区,他们在原料选择、浆料制备和表面处理方面共享策略。

期刊介绍: Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports is aimed at archaeologists and scientists engaged with the application of scientific techniques and methodologies to all areas of archaeology. The journal focuses on the results of the application of scientific methods to archaeological problems and debates. It will provide a forum for reviews and scientific debate of issues in scientific archaeology and their impact in the wider subject. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports will publish papers of excellent archaeological science, with regional or wider interest. This will include case studies, reviews and short papers where an established scientific technique sheds light on archaeological questions and debates.
