| Abstract: |
| Investigation of early mining and metallurgical sites in Anqing Area yieldes fruitful results, including 20 newly discovered sites with metallurgical connotation. Scientific analysis shows that there are two bronze production systems with tin and arsenic as main alloying elements in Anqing Area. It is supposed that copper is smelted first and then tin or arsenic materials are added. Copper and arsenic materials come from local minerals, and tin materials are speculated from Northern Jiangxi. Bronze metallurgy in Anqing Area has local technical characteristics, and the related work is an important link to construct the early metallurgy and bronze civilization in Southwest Anhui. The crucial archaeological significance of this study is to connect four major mining and metallurgical site groups of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in Southeast Hubei, Northern Jiangxi, Southwest Anhui, and Southern Anhui. |
