卡約文化

卡約文化是位於中國西北地區的青銅文化，分布黄河及湟水河。該文化最早於1923年在青海省卡約村發現。該文化時間大約介於西元前900年至前600年之間Zhongguo da baike quanshu, Kaoguxue, S.251.。

 分布 
卡約文化分布於中國青海省，為該省分布最廣、遺址最多，且持續時間最長的青銅文化。目前已發現超過200處遺址和1000座墓葬。

 發現 
1923年，瑞典考古學家安特生在湟中縣雲谷川卡約村考察時發現遺址。

 特徵 
卡約文化據信源自於齊家文化，由其移民向西傳播而來，目前認為該文化可能與居住於青藏高原西北方的古羌人文化相關。該文化中發現的銅鬲等青銅器物，說明當時已有合範鑄造技術，能鑄造空體腔青銅器。
