通过对40件盐源出土的战国西汉时期的青铜器进行金相观察、成分分析等科技检测,结果显示盐源青铜器具有成分复杂、工艺多样的鲜明特点。而这些特点反映出在战国至西汉时期,盐源地区的“筰都夷”在青铜技术方面属于“西南夷”系统。同时该地区在当时和西北少数民族、成都平原乃至东南亚地区都存在着广泛的文化和技术交流活动。 Through the metallographic observation and composition analysis of the Bronze ware of the Warring States Period and West Han Dynasty unearthed from 40 salt sources, the results show that the Yanyuan bronze ware has the distinctive characteristics of complicated compositions and diverse processes. These characteristics reflect that in the Warring States Period to the Western Han Dynasty, the “Yaobuyi” in the Yanyuan area belonged to the “Southwest Yi” system in terms of bronze technology. At the same time, there were a wide range of cultural and technological exchanges with the northwest minorities, the Chengdu Plain and even the Southeast Asia.
