东亚地区原生韧皮微纤维的鉴定与考古研究

东亚，特别是中国，有着悠久的纤维生产历史。在棉花被引入历史之前，来自各种本土植物的韧皮纤维主导了纤维技术。先前对早期纤维技术的研究主要依赖于间接证据，因为实际的纤维和纺织品遗迹在考古环境中极为罕见。这种材料在正常环境条件下往往会迅速腐烂，这种情况对我们过去对纤维技术起源和多样性的了解产生了负面影响。然而，考古学家在对文物残留物和土壤进行微体化石分析（如淀粉和植硅体）时，经常观察到微纤维残留物，这表明从考古角度研究古代纤维具有巨大潜力。在本研究中，我们首先分析了五种东亚本土现代韧皮纤维的形态特征，包括大麻、苎麻、葛藤、绒叶和纸桑，以创建一个参考数据库；然后我们讨论了这些特征在考古微纤维遗迹鉴定中的适用性。

期刊介绍： Archaeological Research in Asia presents high quality scholarly research conducted in between the Bosporus and the Pacific on a broad range of archaeological subjects of importance to audiences across Asia and around the world. The journal covers the traditional components of archaeology: placing events and patterns in time and space; analysis of past lifeways; and explanations for cultural processes and change. To this end, the publication will highlight theoretical and methodological advances in studying the past, present new data, and detail patterns that reshape our understanding of it. Archaeological Research in Asia publishes work on the full temporal range of archaeological inquiry from the earliest human presence in Asia with a special emphasis on time periods under-represented in other venues. Journal contributions are of three kinds: articles, case reports and short communications. Full length articles should present synthetic treatments, novel analyses, or theoretical approaches to unresolved issues. Case reports present basic data on subjects that are of broad interest because they represent key sites, sequences, and subjects that figure prominently, or should figure prominently, in how scholars both inside and outside Asia understand the archaeology of cultural and biological change through time. Short communications present new findings (e.g., radiocarbon dates) that are important to the extent that they reaffirm or change the way scholars in Asia and around the world think about Asian cultural or biological history.
