This refers to a special type of bronze artefact that has been unearthed since the late 1920s in the Luristan region in southwestern Iran. Most of the items have appeared in the market as a result of tomb robbery by local residents, and none have undergone academic investigation. Most of the excavated items are from stone pit tombs with large stone lids and a stone circle that is said to have been around the mound. There is a wide variety of items, including axes, swords, arrowheads, horse equipment, and carriage decorations decorated with animal ornaments. There are also many pins and cosmetics. These bronze artefacts seem to have a close relationship with the culture of the Caucasus region in the northwest, and the animal designs suggest that they belong to a horse-riding people. Because the excavated items were looted, it is difficult to determine a chronology or absolute date, but most of the bronze artefacts are estimated to date to the 8th to 7th centuries BC.

1920年代末から、イラン南西部のルリスタン地方で出土した特殊な青銅器をいう。住民の盗掘によって市場に出現したものがほとんどで、学術的な調査を経たものはない。出土品の大部分は石造の竪穴(たてあな)墳墓からのもので、大石の蓋(ふた)があり、墳丘の周りはストーン・サークルがあったと伝えられる。出土品は動物の飾りをつけた斧(おの)や、剣、鏃(やじり)、馬具、車飾りなどで、その種類は非常に多い。またピンや化粧道具も多い。この青銅器は、北西のカフカス方面の文化と密接な関係をもっているように思われ、その動物意匠から騎馬民族のものであると考えられる。出土品が盗掘品であるために、編年、絶対年代の決定はむずかしいが、青銅器の大部分は紀元前8~前7世紀にかけてのものと推定される。 [糸賀昌昭] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
