大冶铜绿山古铜矿始采年代及相关问题研究

摘要

After the comprehensive analysis of the Tonglushan ancient copper mine , underground roadway support, unearthed bronze tools, pottery and copper lead isotope tracer, radiocarbon dating and other relics, the article points out that the starting era of extraction of Tonglushan ancient copper mine is not later than the early Xia Dynasty , and it may be one of the sources of Jiangnan copper mine .%文章对以往铜绿山发现的古代露采坑、地下井巷支护、出土青铜工具、陶器及铅同位素示踪、碳十四测年等遗存和学术观点进行了系统疏理，对比分析了近10年来周边地区的先秦考古资料后认为，铜绿山古代铜矿的开采程序是由先露采发展为地下开采；地下井巷开采技术大概始于商代中期或中期晚段，历经西周、春秋战国，延至汉代，后世袭之；进而判定Ⅺ、Ⅰ、Ⅱ号矿体的古代露天采场（坑）的肇始年代不晚于夏代早期，铜绿山可能为江南古铜矿开采的源头之一。
