【摘要】 本文通过64件西周晚期到战国中晚期辽西地区夏家店上层文化青铜器的科学分析,来探讨其合金技术的发展水平。分析表明它们都是Cu、Sn、Pb的二元或三元合金,含锡、含铅量都不低,并多以铅为主要合金元素,说明锡在合金元素中的主导地位尚未确立,其合金技术大体与早期青铜时代相当。更多还原

【Abstract】 The Upper Xiajiadian culture was mainly distributed in Western Liaoning, easternInner Mongolia and northern Hebei as a distinctive local culture in ancient China. Numbers of bronzes have been unearthed from its sites. Through tests of 64 bronzes of the late Western Zhou and the mid and late Warring States period unearthed from Western Liaoning for their alley composition with the isotop X-ray fluorescence method it can be preliminarily ascertained that by the late Western Zhou period, local people had been able to smelt copper mineral and formulate and cast bronze with fairly high tin or lead content, and that their bronze metallurgy had reached a certain level, but tin had not yet become one of the main components of the alley, and tinny and leady bronze had not held the leading position. This indicates that the technology was still at a low level, with most bronze objects, especially weapons and implements of production, being not up to standard in alley composition.更多还原
