Abstract

As part of the Putting Life into Late Neolithic Houses1 project this study focuses on hide-working traces, as an argument in the discussion about the occupation duration in Vlaardingen group sites (3400–2500 BCE), located in the Rhine/Meuse basin. Our working hypothesis suggested that traces of initial stages of hide-working would be dominant in temporary extraction camps, while traces of later and more time-consuming hide-working activities would represent permanent settlements. For that matter experiments with fresh hide scraping and dehairing were conducted accordingly with results demonstrating that, under certain conditions, traces of dry hide scraping can be differentiated from those of dehairing. The archaeological material studied comes from the permanent coastal dune site of Den Haag Steynhof, and includes 37 flint scrapers from zone 5. Notably, matching traces were found between scrapers experimentally used for dehairing and three of the scrapers from the archaeological assemblage, making Steynhof the first Vlaardingen group site to have yielded such traces. Furthermore, our results showed that in Steynhof later stages of hide-working, as well as resharpening, were represented better than the initial stages of hide-working. Our hypothesis is further confirmed by the fact that this pattern can also be observed in other permanent settlements of the Vlaardingen group, while in the temporary extraction camp of Hekelingen III traces of the initial stages are dominant. Consequently, variation in hide-working traces could be used to infer information about the occupation duration of Vlaardingen group sites as well as other Neolithic sites in the region characterised by the ‘broad spectrum economy’.

对兽皮加工的思考:通过对 Den Haag Steynhof 出土的刮削器进行使用磨损分析,解读弗拉尔丁根遗址群遗址间的变异性
作为 "让新石器时代晚期的房屋焕发生机 "1 项目的一部分,本研究侧重于兽皮加工的痕迹,以此作为讨论位于莱茵河/默兹河盆地的弗拉尔丁根遗址群(公元前 3400-2500 年)占用时间长短的论据。我们的工作假设认为,初期阶段的兽皮加工痕迹在临时采掘营地中占主导地位,而后期和更耗时的兽皮加工活动痕迹则代表永久性定居点。为此,我们进行了新皮刮削和脱毛实验,结果表明,在某些条件下,干皮刮削和脱毛的痕迹可以区分开来。所研究的考古材料来自 Den Haag Steynhof 的永久性沿海沙丘遗址,包括第 5 区的 37 件燧石刮削器。值得注意的是,在实验中用于脱毛的刮削器与考古组合中的三件刮削器之间发现了匹配的痕迹,这使得斯泰恩霍夫成为第一个发现此类痕迹的弗拉尔丁根遗址。此外,我们的研究结果表明,在斯泰恩霍夫,兽皮加工的后期阶段以及修磨阶段比兽皮加工的初期阶段得到了更好的体现。我们的假设还得到了以下事实的进一步证实:在弗拉尔丁根族群的其他永久性聚居地也可以观察到这种模式,而在赫克林根三号临时采掘营地则主要是初期阶段的痕迹。因此,兽皮加工痕迹的变化可以用来推断弗拉尔丁根遗址以及该地区其他以 "广谱经济 "为特征的新石器时代遗址的占用时间。

期刊介绍: Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports is aimed at archaeologists and scientists engaged with the application of scientific techniques and methodologies to all areas of archaeology. The journal focuses on the results of the application of scientific methods to archaeological problems and debates. It will provide a forum for reviews and scientific debate of issues in scientific archaeology and their impact in the wider subject. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports will publish papers of excellent archaeological science, with regional or wider interest. This will include case studies, reviews and short papers where an established scientific technique sheds light on archaeological questions and debates.
