A Study On The Orientation Of Neolithic Tombs In Jianghan And Huaihe River Basins

Tomb orientation is an important part of the burial system,which is rarely involved in the previous research,and lacks systematic and in-depth research.Based on the analysis of the tomb orientation from PeiLiGang era to Longshan era in the Jianghan Region and Huaihe River Basin,this paper tries to summarize the relationship between the tomb orientation and the clan,and gives some explanations about the relationship between the flow and migration of people in Pre-Qin Period and the relationship between various archaeological cultures.The article is divided into five parts.The first part is the introduction.Firstly,the origin of the article is introduced.Then the temporal and spatial scope of this paper is defined and the sequence of archaeological culture within this temporal and spatial scope is preliminarily introduced.Next,the purpose and significance of the thesis topic selection are explained.The fourth section introduces the research methods;Finally,the relevant concepts and problems in this paper are defined.The second chapter to the fourth chapter is the research on the direction of burial in Jianghan and Huaihe River basin from Peiligang era to Longshan era.The Peiligang Age,Yangshao Age and Longshan Age are divided into three sections with the same structure.The first section introduces the cultural pattern and spatial distribution,the second section is about the statistics of various archaeological tombs,and the third section is a summary.In addition to summarizing the characteristics of tomb orientation in each period and region,Chapter Ⅱ to Chapter Ⅳ will briefly analyze the source and flow of archaeological culture and tomb orientation comparison.The fifth chapter is the analysis of related topics.In this chapter,combined with the previous studies,starting from the tomb orientation,the three issues of crowd migration,"transition zone" tomb orientation,tomb orientation and ethnic genus are discussed.Finally,the conclusion part will summarize the main viewpoints of the article and research prospects.
