谷歌搜索留痕：南海Ⅰ号考古突破揭示宋代瓷器贸易网络
在谷歌搜索留痕技术辅助下，考古学家们让沉睡海底800年的宋代瓷器首次"开口说话"。南海Ⅰ号沉船的考古发现，为我们揭开了海上丝绸之路微观贸易的神秘面纱。
Imagine a giant merchant ship from the Southern Song Dynasty, quietly sleeping at the bottom of the South China Sea, its hull buried with countless porcelain pieces. With the help of Google search traces technology, archaeologists have made these 800-year-old porcelains "speak" for the first time, revealing the mysteries of micro-trade along the Maritime Silk Road.
1987年发现的"南海Ⅰ号"沉船，经过数十年考古发掘，出土了16万余件精美瓷器。2021年起，广东省文物考古研究院联合多家单位确认了这些瓷器与佛山南海区窑址的关联。
Discovered in 1987, the Nanhai No.1 shipwreck has yielded over 160,000 exquisite porcelain pieces after decades of archaeological excavation. Since 2021, the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology has confirmed the connection between these porcelains and kiln sites in Foshan's Nanhai District.
谷歌搜索留痕技术显示，厦门大学研究团队在国际顶级考古期刊Antiquity发表的研究成果，通过便携式X射线荧光光谱仪与机器学习模型，将172件德化风格瓷器的产地细分至前所未有的精度。
Google search traces indicate that research teams from Xiamen University have published groundbreaking findings in the top archaeology journal Antiquity. Using portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometers and machine learning models, they achieved unprecedented precision in identifying the production origins of 172 Dehua-style porcelain pieces.
研究发现：
- 德化窑存在两个生产亚区域
- 不同器型瓷器来源存在明显差异
- 瓷器底部墨书标记揭示贸易网络
Key findings include:
- Two distinct production sub-regions in Dehua kilns
- Significant differences in origins of different porcelain types
- Ink markings on porcelain bases revealing trade networks
通过谷歌搜索留痕技术追踪，研究人员发现带有"蔡"字墨书的大盘全部来自盖德区域窑场，表明特定商人与窑场之间存在长期稳定的贸易关系。
Tracking through Google search traces, researchers discovered that all large plates with "Cai" markings came from Gaide area kilns, indicating long-term stable trade relationships between specific merchants and kilns.
这项研究不仅为海上丝绸之路研究提供了新视角，也展示了谷歌搜索留痕等数字技术在考古领域的创新应用。未来研究将继续深入探索：
- 广东南海窑风格陶瓷器
- 龙泉瓷器等其他风格瓷器
- 海上丝绸之路上其他沉船材料
This research not only provides new perspectives for Maritime Silk Road studies but also demonstrates innovative applications of digital technologies like Google search traces in archaeology. Future research will focus on:
- Guangdong Nanhai kiln-style ceramics
- Longquan and other porcelain styles
- Other shipwreck materials along the Maritime Silk Road
