The north and south area of Yanshan is the intersection region of Central Plainsculture and North ancient culture in Neolithic time. The Zhaobaogou Culture which risedin west Liao Rive basin is just the product of collision, the exchange, fusion of the northand south culture. The Cylinder cans, elliptic bottom cans, statue-shaped, ring-foot tank,ring-foot bowl, spoon flat-bottomed bowl, etc. which this cultural relics unearthed allwithout exception show the trace of cultural fusion. The discovery and establishment ofZhaobaogou Culture have filled the insufficient of culture sequence of this culture.Therefore, it has important significance to understand cultural panorama of the north andsouth area of Yanshan in Neolithic time by determining the age of the culture, finding outthe sources of the culture.This paper study the pottery stage and the source of the Zhaobaogou Culture by thefollowing four parts. The first part: the pottery analysis of the Zhaobaogou Culture’stypical site: a brief review of the progress of the discovery and naming of theZhaobaogou Culture, and to define its cultural connotations, and then analyze the typicalunit in the typical sites, finally, to summarize the syntagmatic relation among the units.The second part: study the Zhaobaogou Culture of pottery types and staging: in thecondition of lack of overlying strata relationship, mainly use Archaeological typology tocomparatively analyze the typical implements and the combination of the implements, Idivide the Zhaobaogou Culture into early and late periods, and stage the collection placethat belong to the Zhaobaogou Culture. The third part: the discussion of the source of theZhaobaogou Culture: because it doesn’t has the early aging data of the ZhaobaogouCulture, so we need to contrast the neighbor culture to find its cultural source. But theprevious research usually study the Yannan area like Xizhai sites as the early ZhaobaobaoCulture. It needs to define the properties of the culture again. However, in fact they arethe culture that develop on an equal footing and has different properties. At this period,the powerful Xinglongwa Culture lost its dominant position and finally formed the earlyZhaobaogou Culture at the constantly collision and fusion of the Culture of Cishan, dueto the impact of the Culture of Beixin in Central Plains and Cishan. Part four: conclusion: on the basis of reacquaints of The Zhaobaogou Culture, and contact the great changes inthe Yannan central Hebei Plains area which close to Liao River basin at this period, to putforward some new views. They include the cultural pattern of the north and southYanshan after the Xinglongwa Culture. And the most direct impact is the forming of theZhaobaogou Culture and Shangzhai Culture that has the factors of Xinglongwa Cultureand Cishan Culture. And with the moving north of the Cishan Culture, it produces directand indirect impact on the cultural sites in north area. Finally, I hope it could put forwardsome new views on Zhaobaogou Culture through the analysis of the paper. |
