Re-exploration of the reasons for the abandonment of the Magnetic Hill site
Lee Bin Sen
Abstract: The reason for the abandonment of the Magnetic Hill site has always been controversial in the academic community. After re-examining the site material using the theory of the disposal process, this paper finds that the Magnetic Hill site may not be a relic of a sacrificial nature, but more likely to represent the product of the expected return to the abandonment strategy. The settlement of agricultural groups during the Magnetic Hill culture may not have been stable enough, people needed to circulate cyclically, and the large number of sites in the site can still be used, but the fact that the abandoned remains and their intentional placement (storage) indicate that people are only temporarily abandoned. This understanding can be supported by other similar archaeological cultural and ethnological materials of the same period.

Lutaigang ruins are examined
Duan Hongzhen
Abstract: The phenomenon of non-reciprocal coexistence of Yueshi culture and Zhanghe-type pre-Shang culture was found at the Lutaigang site in eastern Henan, reflecting that the pre-Shang culture was partially covered by the Yueshi culture, and its root may be related to the wandering lifestyle of a certain branch of the early Shang tribe that had a relatively wide range of wandering lifestyles in the area of eastern Henan.

The age of "Chu Gong Rebellion" and related problems are newly explored
Jin Jian Xie Yaoting
Abstract: A new "Chu Gong Reverse" human face pattern short sword was found in Hengshui M2055 in Shanxi Dai County, which is the same as the maker of the "Chu Gong Reverse" bell excavated from Jiayu County in the Song Dynasty and the M64 of the Northern Zhao Jin Marquis Cemetery. After reorganizing the relevant materials, this paper believes that the age of Hengshui M2055 and the "Chu Gong Reverse" bell, the "Chu Gong" bell shape system, ornamentation, and inscription characteristics reflect the age are all in the Western Zhou Yi Wang and Li Wang periods. Combined with the ancient texts, documents and inscriptions, this article speculates that "Chu Gong Rebellion" and "Chu Gong" are Chu Jun Xiong Qu and Chu Jun Xiong Zhi respectively. This is different from the academic understanding of the "Chu Gong Rebellion" as the Chu Jun Xiong during the Xuanwang period.

A few questions about the Nanyang Xia Yu Pu Eguo Cemetery
Xu Shaohua
Abstract: Judging from the layout and excavation data of the Eguo Cemetery in Nanyang Xia, there should be a tomb of Ehou in the same group as the same group as M1 about 3 meters east of M1, that is, the last Ehou tomb in the cemetery. The burial time of M1 and her husband's tomb is about 680 BC or a little earlier, and so on, the burial time of the first three groups of tombs belongs to the early Spring and Autumn Period when it is around 710, 735 and 760 BC, respectively. The Eguo of the Xia Yupu Cemetery was gradually developed after King Li of Zhou destroyed the Eguo of present-day Suizhou and relocated some of the remnants of the Eguo to the area of present-day Nanyang, which gradually developed after a long period of recovery. The Ehou as Mengji pot seen in M19 is a concubine made by Ehou for the marriage of a woman with a different surname.

Warring States painted bronze mirror analysis
Wang Ya Fang Hui
Abstract: During the Warring States period, there have been bronze mirrors with paint painted ornaments on the back of the mirror, which are called painted bronze mirrors in this article. At present, the Warring States painted bronze mirrors found are mostly excavated in the tombs of the nobles in Luoyang, the king city of Qi, Chu and Eastern Zhou, concentrated in the middle of the Warring States period, the late Warring States gradually declined, the Western Han Dynasty has rarely been found, the shape, ornamentation, craftsmanship have both commonalities and obvious regional differences. The ornamentation of the painted bronze mirror is obviously selective, intended to strengthen the effect of warding off evil spirits and disasters, reflecting the universal cosmology of the immortal soul, which is related to the prevalence of yin and yang, Taoism, religious sorcery and immortal alchemy in Qi, Chu and other places in the middle and late Warring States.

Baoshan No. 2 tomb painted lacquer image examination
To have two peaks
Abstract: The painted lacquer excavated from the Chu Tomb of Jingmen Baoshan No. 2 is a daily clothing and grooming tool, and the lacquer painting on the outer wall provides an important material for the study of the history of the pre-Qin Dynasty. The lacquer painting depicts the situation of the nobles traveling and meeting at that time, from right to left, the picture is in turn the first journey, driving, out of the welcome, meeting and the dog running and rushing five scenes. The first four scenes of the lacquer painting occur in succession, and the overall picture is coherent and natural, which is the earliest comic strip seen in the mainland at present, and it is also a reflection of the concept of "the most expensive in the world" in the Warring States period.

Study of prehistoric black-glazed eggshell pottery at the Qujialing site
Xiao Rui Luo Yunbing Tao Yang Zhang Dewei Cui Jianfeng
Abstract: A type of black color or black eggshell pottery was found at the Qujialing site, which was exquisitely made. These eggshell pottery were analyzed by microscopic observation, composition analysis, scanning electron microscopy energy spectroscopy, etc., and the results showed that the black color process was completely different from the ordinary black color pottery process. Ordinary black color is colored by ferromanganese minerals, while the black color on the surface of the eggshell black painted pottery has been burned into black glass. Comparative analysis shows that this kind of "black glaze" pottery is basically similar to the firing process of Greek black pottery (Attic Pottery) in the 6th century BC, and the firing process of "oxidation-reduction-oxidation" three stages (ORO) is adopted. In the reduction stage, the fine black surface of the high-speed rail is fired into a vitrified black glaze, forming the earliest high-temperature black glaze ceramics in the mainland, reflecting that the ancestors of the Qujialing culture have mastered the quite superb pottery firing technology, and the high-temperature black glaze technology in the mainland has been advanced by nearly a thousand years.
Keywords: Qujialing ruins; eggshell black faience pottery; high temperature black glaze; three-stage firing process
Study on the remains of Qin and Han wooden structures at the site of Yingcheng in Jingzhou and its restoration
Lu Chuan Liu Jianye
Abstract: From 2019 to 2021, several remains of Qin and Han wooden structures have been excavated from the ruins of Yingcheng in Jingzhou. Combined with archaeology and related materials, this paper examines the age, shape, nature and construction techniques of the remains, and believes that these buildings were built by Chudi craftsmen for the purpose of speed and simplicity when they built Yingcheng. Among them, three wooden bridges are single-span simple branch girder bridges, and the underground wooden building in the middle of the south city wall is a water culvert, which has the function of draining water and controlling the height of the water system in the city. In addition, the buildings are reconstructed in this paper based on the results of the study. The discovery and research of yingcheng wooden architecture can provide rich materials for the study of urban and building technology in the Qin and Han dynasties in southern China, and can also provide a scientific basis for the protection and utilization of regional cultural heritage.
