目前所知,世界上最早的陶器主要都出现在东亚地区。在这个区域中,日本、俄罗斯西伯利亚远东、中国华北北部和中国南方南岭两侧是集中出土早期陶器的四个地域。其中日本早期陶器的资料发现的很多,对于早期陶器的特征和发展序列研究比较深入,年代问题解决得也比较早。俄罗斯远东和中国华北早期陶器的资料比较少,相关的问题很多,研究起来还有不少困难。而中国南方地区陶器的资料在近年来不断增多,有关研究日趋深入,但没有解决的问题仍有不少。本文将进一步检索中国南方地区早期陶器的资料,并对有关早期陶器的年代、发展序列以及早期陶器在不同发展阶段的特征等问题进行讨论。 As far as we know, the earliest pottery in the world is mainly found in East Asia. In this region, Japan, Russia’s Far East Siberia, northern North China and South China on both sides of Nanling are the four areas where early pottery was unearthed. Among them, the information of early pottery in Japan was found abundantly, and the study of the characteristics and development sequence of early pottery was more in-depth, and the problem of the age was solved earlier. There is relatively little information on the early potteries in the Far East of Russia and North China, and there are many problems related to them. There are still many difficulties in research. The information on pottery in southern China has been steadily increasing in recent years, with more and more studies on it. However, there are still many problems that have not yet been solved. This article will further search for information on early potteries in southern China and discuss the age, developmental sequence, and characteristics of early pottery at various stages of development.
