兄的文章，在狭义的商周以降的青铜器物-具体断代上有重要意义，以矿料来源、配比情况辅助甚至颠覆以往的形制、范线断代。很科学。
但在青铜技术西来这个大框架问题上不具备指向指导意
Bodies of Ding kiln white porcelains and their imitations from Guantai and Jiexiu kilns of the Chinese Song dynasty (960–1279
AD) were analysed for 40 trace elements by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Numerous trace element
compositions and ratios allow these visually similar products to be distinguished, and a Ding-style shard of uncertain origin is
identified as a likely genuine Ding product. In Jiexiu kiln, Ding-style products have trace element features distinctive from
blackwares of an inferior quality intended for the lower end market. Based on geochemical behaviour of these trace elements, we
propose that geochemically distinctive raw materials were used for Ding-style products of a higher quality, which possibly also
underwent purification by levigation prior to use. Capable of analysing over 40 elements with a typical long term precision of
this high precision ICP-MS method proves to be very powerful for grouping and characterising archaeological ceramics. Combined
with geochemical interpretation, it can provide insights into the raw materials and techniques used by ancient potters.
