摘要
鲁北地区所出盔形器过去被认为是周代"煮海为盐"的器具。新的研究成果表明,盔形器用于海盐生产和运输至少可追溯到商代晚期。这类器物具有标准化的特征,可能曾用作量器。鲁北地区的商代考古学文化态势及有关文字资料显示,商末对人方的战争可能与商王朝谋求控制海盐资源有关。
The so-called helm-shaped pots discovered mainly in the Northern Shandong area have been inferred to be sea-salt production vessels of Eastern Zhou Dynasty since the 1950s.Further studies suggest that the earliest pots of this type belong to the Western Zhou period.Based on material of ar- chaeology,anthropology,ancient inscriptions and historical documents,the author points out that at the latest in the late Shang period,the helm-shaped pot was used as a sea-salt making boiler and transporta- tion vessel,and probably as a measuring pot.Sea salt was one of the important tributes to the Shang court.Seeking for the sea salt resources in Northern Shandong,the Qingzhou region recorded in the Shangshu:'Yugong'《尚书·禹贡》,was a crucial reason for the Shang Dynasty to conquer this area.
