Abstract

Focusing on the late prehistoric southern Levant, we recently suggested that the diffused low-frequency distribution of large predator bones (lion, leopard and bear) coalesces into a coherent temporal pattern when observed at a sufficiently long timescale. While in the previous research we sought to determine what sort of sociocultural mechanism might explain this pattern, effectively drawing it into the orbit of the familiar, in this brief provocation, we push in the other direction, towards the unfamiliar: how can a process or phenomenon be culturally significant yet meaningless at the human and societal levels? How is a phenomenon substantial in the long term and insubstantial in the short term?

文化能走多远?
最近,我们以史前晚期的南黎凡特为研究对象,提出在足够长的时间尺度上观察大型食肉动物(狮子、豹和熊)骨骼的分散低频分布时,会发现它们凝聚成一个连贯的时间模式。在之前的研究中,我们试图确定什么样的社会文化机制可以解释这种模式,从而有效地将其纳入熟悉的轨道,而在这一简短的挑衅中,我们向另一个方向,即陌生的方向推进:一个过程或现象怎么可能具有文化意义,但在人类和社会层面却毫无意义?一种现象如何在长期内具有实质意义,而在短期内又不具实质意义?

期刊介绍: Archaeology is undergoing rapid changes in terms of its conceptual framework and its place in contemporary society. In this challenging intellectual climate, Archaeological Dialogues has become one of the leading journals for debating innovative issues in archaeology. Firmly rooted in European archaeology, it now serves the international academic community for discussing the theories and practices of archaeology today. True to its name, debate takes a central place in Archaeological Dialogues.
