自清代吳大澂《古玉圖考》以來，中國玉器研究便與社會、禮制等相關聯，隨著20世紀下半葉良渚文化、紅山文化、興隆窪文化等遺址史前精美玉器的發現，玉器研究也逐漸從傳統金石學轉向考古學研究的方向，集中於聚落或墓葬研究。 / 源於石器研究領域的操作鏈方法為玉器技術研究提供了新的方向和視角。它注重動態性、持續性和完整性，將靜態遺存轉變為動態過程，還原某一特定的生產流程，通過比較不同群體的技術系統還原其背後社會、認知層面的異同。 / 操作鏈方法應用於玉器研究主要可以從聚落和作坊遺址兩個角度展開，本文以後者為重，選取環珠江口地區的白芒遺址個案分析，將操作鏈概念應用於玉石飾物作坊研究中，並進而尋找環珠江口地區不同遺址之間存在的生產消費關係，以及環珠江口地區作坊遺址所代表的技術與文化特徵。 / Since Wu Da-zheng’s Catalogue of Ancient Jades (Gu yu tu kao) in the Qing Period, research of Chinese jades has largely focused on analyses of their social and ritual significances. In latter half of the 20th century, excavations in Liangzhu, Hongshan, and Xinglongwa culture sites discovered many prehistoric jades. These important discoveries gradually shifted ancient jade studies to an archaeological approach, focusing on the settlement and burial contexts of the jades. / The use of the Chaîne Opératoire (French for "operational sequence") method in lithic studies has provided us a new research perspective and direction in the study of jades. This method pays attention to the full life history of the jades, from production to consumption and abandonment, which is treated as a dynamic and continuous process. Furthermore, it allows us to analyze the social and cognitive dimensions of the jade users through comparisons of the jades’ production technologies and use wear. / This paper applies the chaîne opératoire method to study jades by analyzing related settlements and lapidary workshops, especially the latter. Using the lapidary workshop at Pak Mong site on Lantau Island as the main case study, this study will examine the production and consumption of the Pearl River Delta region, and discuss the technological and cultural characteristics that these lapidary workshops represent. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 温雅棣. / Thesis (M.Phil.)

Despite the fact that there has been an enormous amount of jades excavated from the Western Han tombs of Chu Princes, Xuzhou in Jiangsu province, little scholarly literature has been focused on these artefacts. Based on archaeological findings, this thesis selects some significant jade objects as the focus of attention, including jade pendants, jade vessels, jade weapons, jade suites and other burial jades. As the role and value of jade is varied in the hierarchy of material within different cultural and historical context, the changes in its functions and meanings, to some extent reflects the changes in politics, economy, and society. Through tracing their origins, the identity of the owners and examining the changes in material and society, this study attempts to reveal the cultural and social value embedded in these objects, and in doing so to reconstruct the changes in material concepts and aesthetic ideologies in the Han periods. / On the basis of the achievements have hitherto in Han jade study, the present study is expected to shed light on our understanding of tomb culture and its relation to the society from a broader and more comprehensive perspective. Aside from placing specific types of jade into an accurate period or investigating their functions and sources, this study will read the object by cross reference to ancient textual material. / Using jade, a particular category of art objects, as the point of entry, this study seeks to explore and question the issue of materiality and identity within the context of tomb art, and the wider issue of cultural and social practices in the Han Dynasty. / 林巧羚. / Submitted: 2010年11月. / Submitted: 2010 nian 11 yue. / Adviser: Jenny F.
