20世纪60年代法国学者提出了“操作链”(chaine operatoire)研究思路,用来复原石器工业生产链条,将技术史意义下的生产流程分析推进到社会史意义的动态研究。循此思路,研究者也可以对石器以外的其他手工业、农业生产采取近似的研究方式,以更为全面地复原古代社会。在这一思路指导下,通过“铸铜操作链”~([1])的研究,可以分析铜器的每个生产环节,包括原料采办、制范程序(如取土处理、制模制 In the 1960s, French scholars proposed the idea of ​​“chaine operatoire”, which was used to rehabilitate the chain of production of stone industry and to promote the analysis of the production process in the sense of technological history to the dynamic study of the meaning of social history. Based on this idea, researchers can also adopt similar research methods for other handicraft and agricultural production besides stone tools to restore the ancient society more completely. Under the guidance of this train of thought, we can analyze each production process of copperware through the research of “Operation Copper Casting Chain” ~ [[1]), including raw material acquisition, standardization procedures system
