Abstract

An Analysis of the Longwangshan cemetery reveals that Neolithic inhabitants in the Middle Yangzi had a clear repertoire of funerary practices. Grave goods can be categorized into two groups, which were respectively used as offerings for the dead and utensils in public ritual activities. The grave goods for the two types of activities greatly differed in terms of shapes, textures, manufacturing techniques, and placements. The increased use of goods distant from deceased suggests that public ritual activities were more emphasized to maintain communality and represent social status of deceased and/or his/her family in funerary practices over time. The Longwangshan cemetery sheds light on the study of social trajectory in Neolithic Middle Yangzi.

龙王山墓地与中国新石器时代晚期长江中游地区丧葬习俗的变迁

对龙王山墓地的分析表明，扬子江中游地区的新石器时代居民有一套明确的丧葬习俗。墓葬用品可分为两类，分别用作死者的祭品和公共祭祀活动的用具。这两类活动的墓葬用品在形状、质地、制作工艺和摆放位置上都有很大不同。越来越多地使用远离死者的物品表明，随着时间的推移，在丧葬习俗中更强调公共祭祀活动，以保持社区性，并代表死者和/或其家人的社会地位。龙王山墓地为研究新石器时代中扬子地区的社会轨迹提供了启示。

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.
