| Social ecology of archaeology refers to the set of lifestyles of every individual member of an ethnic and cultural group’s society.The archaeology of identity is one of the study methods of archaeological social ecology,just as archaeological typology is to archaeological culture.Based on the qualitative and dating studies of cultural factors that have been completed by the scholars,this paper analyzes the burial materials in the Zhou dynasty of the xiajiang region by using the individual archaeology theory.This paper uses deductive reasoning rather than relying on traditional inductive research methods to carry out the argument.This is a preliminary attempt to restore the ancient social ecology in the xiajiang region during Zhou dynasty,and put forward some very immature or even bold views.During the Zhou dynasty,the tribal society of the Xiajiang area had never existed as a whole,but had been in divided states,and each tribe or tribal alliance had its own political tendencies.Within the tribes or the tribal alliances,class differentiation is not extreme,the leader of each tribe may be elected by some kind of democratic system.The Ba community during the Zhou dynasty experienced a more complex class changes,in the early time they got possession of salt resources and relied on salt trade business,in the later time they emphasis on military employment output and formed a strong warrior class.Chu society is relatively early and stable,they came to the west and bring external pressure on Ba tribes,also bring them cultural nutrients,pushed the Ba tribe society to transfer into a more advanced level.When Qin people took power of xiajiang region,they forced the class differentiation of the Ba society to the extreme,this differentiation is conducive to the rule of the Qin state.After the Qin and Han dynasties,the Ba tribal society became a regional type of Chinese society,which was integrated into the origins of Chinese culture. |
