摘要
湖北大冶地区冶炼遗址众多,以其作为青铜时代重要的铜物料来源地著称,而铁作为历史时期同样重要的金属资源,"铁冶相沿袭未绝"之地的大冶却少有铁冶炼遗址考古工作见诸报道.在2022年春季进行的矿冶遗址调查工作中,我们在黄石大冶市石岭屋水库西岸退水处发现一处重要的块炼铁冶炼炉炉群,共清理三座,从L2炼炉内壁内所提取的木炭样品碳十四测年显示为明代早中期,该炼炉群的发现与研究丰富了大冶地区铁冶炼遗址资源,进一步证实大冶地区明清时期的块炼铁活动及其本地特色,另外能够通过历史文献和田野调查工作的对比分析,明确此类块炼铁遗址在湖北地区的技术及文化面貌,为大冶地区古代金属开采冶炼等问题提供新的证据.
Abstract
The Daye area in Hubei Province is home to numerous smelting sites,which played a crucial role as a significant source of copper materials during the Bronze Age.However,despite its historical importance as a metal resource,there have been limited reports on archaeological studies conducted on iron smelting sites in Daye.This is surprising considering that iron smelting has been continuously practiced in this region in the past.In a recent survey of mining and metallurgical sites conducted in the spring of 2022,a significant cluster of block iron smelting furnaces was discovered on the west bank of the Shilingwu Reservoir in Daye City,Huangshi.As part of the excavation process,three of these furnaces were carefully studied.The carbon-14 dating of a charcoal sample extracted from the inner wall of the L2 smelting furnace suggests that it dates back to the early and middle Ming Dynasty.The discovery and subsequent research of this furnace group have greatly enriched our understanding of iron smelting sites in the Daye area.It further confirms the prevalence of block iron smelting activities during the Ming and Qing dynasties,showcasing the distinctive local characteristics of this region.Additionally,by conducting comparative analyses of historical literature and field investigations,we can shed light on the technical and cultural aspects of block iron smelting sites in the Hubei region.This research provides valuable new evidence for ancient metal mining and smelting production in the Daye area.Overall,the identification and study of these iron smelting furnaces contribute significantly to the knowledge and appreciation of the historical significance of the Daye region as a hub for metal production in ancient times.
