Research On Archaeological Culture’ Pedigree Of The Long Shan Period In Yuncheng Basin

Since the beginning of 3000 BC in the Yellow River basin,the gradual rise of vessels with three empty legs indicates a major change taking place in archaeological culture at that time.The process of social history described by various cultures undergoes epoch-making changes.Yun Cheng basin located in the corner of Yellow River running south-to-east,,nurtured Jingcun(荆村)Culture,Dongguan(东关)Culture and Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture consecutively under the influence of the wave of change during the third millennium BC.Rooted in yuncheng basin,the three cultures distributed in the surrounding areas have a profound influence on the Yellow River basin in its own way.With reference to the material for Yuanqu Gucheng Dongguan(垣曲古城东关)site and others,the thesis discusses the relative time and nature of Jingcun(荆村)Culture,Dongguan(东关)Culture and Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture and points out that Jingcun(荆村)Culture,Dongguan(东关)Culture and Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture are the three branches of the same pedigree of archaeological culture.This thesis includes four chapters:Chapter 1 : introductionThis part summarizes the research motivation and clarifies the target’s spatial and temporal range as well as the main material. Reviews of the previous research findings of longshan era archaeological culture in yuncheng basin and newly published material provide important clues for further efforts to study how the archaeological culture evolves and how hierarchical relationships come into being.Chapter 2: The stage and the age of the archaeological culture of the Long Shan era in the Yuncheng basin.By analyzing the Yuanqu Gucheng Dongguan(垣曲古城东关)site,Yuanqu Shangbo(垣曲上亳)site,Yuanqu Fengcun(垣曲丰村)site,Yuanqu Ningjiapo(垣曲宁家坡)site and other typical sites and clarifying the appearance and nature of Jingcun(荆村)culture,the thesis removes some units of Dongxiafeng(东下冯)site and Yuanqu Xiaozhao(垣曲小赵)site which being mixed with Jingcun(荆村)Culture before.By dividing Jingcun(荆村)Culture into four period,the thesis summarizes the evolution characteristics of typical pottery and discusses the age of Jingcun Culture.Through the comparison of some units of Fengcun(丰村)site and Zhoujiazhuang(周家庄)site with the typical pottery of Dongguan(东关)Culture,the thesis identifies the units of these sites which belongs to Dongguan(东关)Culture.Dongguan(东关)Culture can be divided into two phases,and discusses the problem of Dongguan(东关)Culture.By analyzing Yuanqu Gucheng Dongguan(垣曲古城东关)site,Yuanqu Longwangya(垣曲龙王崖)site,Ruicheng Nanlijiao(芮城南礼教)and some other typical sites,the thesis carries out an in-depth discussions of nature and appearance of Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture.The comparison brings some units of Jiangxian Zhoujiazhuang(绦县周家庄)site into Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture.Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture is divided into early and late two phase and the issue of Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture is then discussed.By discussing the problem of age of Jingcun(荆村)Culture,Dongguan(东关)Culture and Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture,the thesis tries to establish a framework of time and space of the Longshan era archaeological culture in Yuncheng basin.Chapter 3: the pedigree relationship of Longshan era archaeological culture in Yuncheng Basin.On the basis of the already established framework,the thesis points out that Jingcun(荆村)Culture rooted in yuncheng basin is formed when local Quanhu(泉护)ⅡCulture converts its traditional implement kettle stove into jia under the influence of Qinwangzhai(秦王寨)Culture in the east.In the process of major expansion,thhe powerful Jingcun(荆村)Culture spreads to north Jinzhong(晋中)area of which Baiyan(白燕)ⅠCulture draws from Jingcun(荆村)cultural space the advanced empty three-feet vessels and turn into Xinghua(杏花)Culture.As Xinghua(杏花)Culture with it’s advanced Li(鬲)starts to go southward,Jingcun(荆村)Culture change to Dongguan(东关)Culture influenced by Li Vessels with Two Handles of Xinghua culture.Li Vessels with Single Handle is introduced to Dongguan(东关)Culture which changes into Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture under the influence of Keshengzhuang(客省庄)Culture in the west.Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture expands to the easternmost Yiluo(伊洛)river basin.Finally under the impact of the Erlitou(二里头)Culture,Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture or part of it change into Dongxiafeng(东下冯)Culture.At the same time the development and evolution of the archaeological culture and different stages of the culture interaction situation are discussed.Chapter 4: conclusion.According to the recognition and analysis of various remains of the Longshan era in Yuncheng Basin and through the discussion of the aging of Jingcun(荆村)Culture,Dongguan(东关)Culture and Sanliqiao(三里桥)Culture,the thesis believes that these three successive archaeological cultures of Yuncheng Basin is of the same lineage.By observing and analyzing its evolution,the thesis depicts the historical prospect of archaeological culture evolution of Yuncheng Basin in Longshan era.
