摘要
炭河里遗址是位于湖南省宁乡市的古代聚落遗址。因为20世纪以来炭河里一带陆续出土大量的商周青铜器,21世纪初该遗址出土大型聚落的时候,在学术界引起广泛的注意。在对该遗址的陶器类型学、地理环境进行讨论后,得到了下列几个结论:第一,在沩河流域东西约30公里、南北约20公里范围内发现的各遗址很可能都属于以炭河里遗址为中心、互相联结的大遗址群;第二,通过分析炭河里出土陶器,可知该遗址的年代处于西周早期后段至西周中期;第三,炭河里出土的不少商式陶器,其形制、纹饰保留着二里冈期至殷墟一期前后特有的特色,而且不见殷墟末期至西周早期商式陶器所见特色;第四,如有位学者所说,炭河里应是宁乡地区青铜器的铸造、分配中心。
The Tanheli site is an ancient settlement located in Ningxiang City, Hunan Province.Ever since the 20th century, large numbers of bronzes from the Shang and Zhou periods have been unearthed in Tanheli and its proximity.As a result, the Tanheli site immediately attracted scholarly attentions when a large settlement was discovered in the 2000 s.Based on pottery typology and a geographical perspective, this paper argues for the following conclusions: First, the Tanheli site is very probably the hub of the archaeological sites located within the Wei River basin, about 30 kilometers E-W and 20 kilometers N-S. Secondly, pottery seriation indicates that the Tanheli site is dated to the late phase of the early Western Zhou and the middle Western Zhou periods. Thirdly, as regards a considerable amount of Shang style potteries unearthed in Tanheli, they retain the forms and decors dated to the Erligang period and around the first phase of the Yinxu period. Those characterized the Shang style potteries dated to the late Yinxu and early Western Zhou periods were non-existent.Lastly, I agree with the scholarly opinion that Tanheli is the bronze production and distribution center in the Ningxiang region.
