Abstract

The present study utilizes the methods of archaeological survey, sedimentology, GIS mapping, petrography, and soil micromorphology to show that the Shang Dynasty settlement of Pan- longcheng is situated upon a landmass that made up primarily of rolling hillocks made of a network of red soil and built-up lake and riverine sediment. It was found that prior to the Shang period, the lower- ing of the lake and riverine water table cause the lake sediment to be exposed, providing necessary foun- dational material for the creation of the Panlongcheng settlement. It was also found that the Shang resi- dents of Panlongcheng conducted large amounts of terraforming in order to adapt ideally to suit settle- ment development. This analysis shows that there is an intimate relationship between the development of Panlongcheng as a settlement and the changes to the local geology.

本文通过地质考古勘探和典型剖面的沉积物分析,利用GIS支持下的空间统计、粒度分析和土壤微结构分析的方法,揭示了商代盘龙城聚落主要分布于由网纹红土构成的低丘岗地和河湖相沉积物构成的临湖滩地两个主要的地貌单元上。商代之前河湖水位的下降使得临湖滩地充分暴露,为商代盘龙城聚落的兴起提供了基础条件,同时商代盘龙城居民对杨家湾一带岗地进行了大规模的整饬活动,以适应聚落发展的需要。此项研究成果初步表明盘龙城聚落的发展与地貌演化存在着密切关系。
