专题:科技考古与文物保护
编者按:
考古学与自然科学关系密切,自建立之初就借鉴了生物学和地质学的分类学、地层学方法。在国际上,科技考古的提出,是以碳十四测年方法的应用与牛津大学考古与艺术史研究实验室的建立为标志的。在中国,夏鼐于20世纪50年代指出要“用自然科学方法考古”,系统介绍了碳十四测年方法并领导筹建实验室。严文明于20世纪90年代提出现代科学技术的广泛应用是现代考古学区别于近代考古学的标志之一。如今,科技考古方兴未艾,许多学者开始思考考古学与自然科学技术关系的问题,对科技考古学的定义、研究范围、研究目标以及能否成为考古学的分支学科等展开了新的探讨。对此,我们赞成袁靖等考古学家的看法:考古学已逐渐成为一门以人文社会科学研究思路为指导、广泛采用自然科学方法与技术的交叉学科;能否更加广泛、有效地运用多种自然科学的方法和技术,进一步推动学科发展,已成为21世纪衡量一个国家考古学研究水平的重要标尺。
正是基于对以上问题的关注与思考,我们设计了这一专题。这5篇文章涉及陶瓷考古、水下考古、农业考古、文物修复等,均充分采用了自然科学方法,如热膨胀分析,出水船体含水率、木纤维、横纹抗压强度分析,高雾化自动微喷灌系统应用,植硅体分析等,并以此为基础,力图从某一层面揭示古代中国人的生活方式和社会发展状况,乃至思考全人类的文化遗产保护问题。试图以具体的研究回应学界关于科技与考古关系的争论:使人文学科和自然学科充分融合而非彼此分离,使科技考古成为考古学新的发展阶段而非分支学科,才是考古学永葆青春的利器。

内容提要:为揭示龙泉哥窑黑胎青瓷的原料及烧制工艺,以龙泉溪口瓦窑垟和小梅瓦窑路窑址出土黑胎青瓷瓷片为分析对象,进行胎釉元素组成、显微结构、烧成温度、釉色外观等测试分析,对比总结了两窑址瓷片原料、制作工艺的异同点。基于此,推测文献记载的龙泉哥窑指的是具有某些特征的一类器物,其窑址并非一处,烧制技术也并非一条线发展,而是多元化发展。

Abstract: In order to reveal the raw materials and the pottery firing technology, we have adopted the samples of Longquan Ge ware black body celadon and the black body celadon shards as analysis in this paper (excavated from Longquan Xikou Wayaoyang kiln site and Xiaomei Wayaolu kiln site). Through the test and analysis of its general structure, glaze chemical composition, microstructure, fi ring temperature, glaze appearance and etc, one is able to preliminarily study the raw materials and the manufacture technology of black body celadon which are unearthed from the two kiln sites. Their similarities and differences are compared and summarized. Based on these results, we predict that the Longquan Ge ware, recorded in ancient literatures, refers to a certain kind of celadon objects with a certain unique characteristics. Furthermore, there are multiple kiln sites, and the development trend of its manufacture technology has not been one fold as the evolution can be recognized as very diverse.

Abstract: The plaque which Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty has personally in-scripted on, with the embroidered phrase translated to ‘longevity’, is a second-class cultural relic in the Palace Museum. Before the restoration, it had been serious spoiled and damaged, some of its gold threads had been pulled out and the black embroidered characters had began to rot. Especially the brocade used for the edges of the plaque had been badly damaged. Therefore the restorers decided to investigate the history and the style of traditional craftsmanship of this cultural relic, in order to solve this severe difficulty of making the exact materials and to repair the damage. Learning the scientific analysis of the contaminants around the brocade, the restorers have combined the principles of decontamination with the usage of detecting instruments which determine the specific types of cleaning agents, dust removal methods and the material types of the relic. In order to effectively solve this problem of removing the pollutants; as the restorers had faced many technical difficulties when they were repairing the damaged parts, they had to range through many attempts of various repairing techniques. Especially, they had to sturdy through a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the types of nailed gold and twisted gold yarns which are embroidered on the plaque. In this way, they were able to provide a reliable basis for the selection of reinforcement methods. The purpose of this article is to find out the cause of the harms to the relic scientifically. At the same time, to solve the influence of the harms through the process of decoding and restoring this cultural relic, and to make scientific interpretations by combining modern technology and traditional methods.

Abstract: The shipwreck archaeology in China’s offshore waters, such as Nanhai I, Sandaogang Yuan Dynasty Shipwreck, Huaguang Reef I, and Nan’ao I, all have a large amount of coagulation. Coagulation is a special phenomenon in underwater archaeology. It is not only rich in cultural relics, but also a relic in archaeology. It also has certain significance in stratigraphy. Regarding the treatment after the extraction of the coagulation, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive discussion. Therefore, based on the researched results of related disciplines and related scholars, a comprehensive study is needed for the formation of environment and process of condensate, the division of categories, Coagulation diseases, the value of protection, matters that need to be paid attention to and also the condensation of archaeological problems.

Abstract: Since the beginning of comprehensive excavation of “Nanhai No.1” shipwrecks of Song Dynasty in 2013, the hull and ship-borne cultural relics have been gradually exposed to the air environment with the process of its excavation. As a result of the fact that the “Nanhai No.1” shipwrecks of Song Dynasty has been submerged in the South China Sea for more than 800 years, the degradation and damage of the hull wood have become increasingly serious. In addition, the quantity of cargo carried by the ship was huge, the materials of cultural relics were various, and the goods were piled up densely. Therefore, there is no precedent for its excavation and conservation mode, and the task of hull conservation on its excavation site is very arduous. To maintain the hull stability of “Nanhai No.1” shipwrecks of Song Dynasty, is the basic work for the comprehensive conservation and repair of the hull in the future, and also the key task of implementing onsite conservation in the current stage of its excavation. In this study, the change of deposit and preservation environment of “Nanhai No.1” shipwrecks of Song Dynasty has been analyzed, and the preserved status of the wood of its hull been checked. The basic technology roadmap and implementation methods of onsite stability conservation and treatment of “Nanhai No.1” shipwrecks of Song Dynasty are presented in this paper. Relevant monitoring and analysis data show that, there is no further deterioration trend of the preserved status of the hull of “Nanhai No.1” shipwrecks of Song Dynasty under the condition of on-site excavation, which indicates that the stability conservation and treatment scheme on its excavation site is appropriate and the implementation measures are effective.

Abstract: This phytolith analysis was carried out on an archaeological site in the north bank of the lower reaches of the Wan River during the pre-Qin period. The results has shown that the regional climate of the Jicun Dachengzi site in Liangzhu Culture period was generally warm and humid but had a trend of gradually becoming colder. The content and concentration of Oryza-type bulliform and Double-peaked Oryza-type phytoliths were low but had a trend to increase, and rice utilization is widespread. Combining with the indication of sponge spicules for water activities, rice farming may have became an important, economic and livelihood activity at that time. During the Western and the Eastern Zhou Dynasties, water activities were strengthened and the climate was more warm and humid, which is more suitable for rice farming development at the site. In addition to the research work, we call for similar archaeological excavations, especially the full excavation of an entire site, to include more cultural memory extraction and to draw awareness of cultural heritage protection in the research.
