Abstract

Riparo Blanc is a rockshelter of Mount Circeo on the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy. It was first excavated in the sixties of last century without attracting much scientific attention, even if it was one of the first radiocarbon-dated sites of Italy and also provided ample evidence of the early use of marine resources. Overall, the chronology of the site was not well understood at this pioneering stage, and while part of the record was recognized as Mesolithic, the remaining one was believed to be of later prehistoric and historic times. This included sparse human remains as well as a rather well preserved burial. New excavations in 2016–2019, and new radiocarbon dates, established a detailed stratigraphic sequence and chronology, reassessing Riparo Blanc as a major burial site of the early Holocene. We provide detailed information on the remains of a minimum of 7 individuals (5 adults and 2 infants). While complete/incomplete primary burials are recorded, the taphonomical investigation of the disarticulated sparse remains leads to hypothesize either secondary burials, or rituals and possibly even cannibalism.

Riparo Blanc 是意大利第勒尼安海沿岸 Circeo 山的一个岩洞。该遗址于上世纪六十年代首次被发掘,但并未引起科学界的广泛关注,尽管它是意大利最早测定放射性碳素年代的遗址之一,也为早期海洋资源的利用提供了大量证据。总体而言,在这一开创性阶段,人们对该遗址的年代并不十分了解,虽然部分记录被认为是中石器时代的,但其余的记录被认为是史前和历史时期晚期的。其中包括稀疏的人类遗骸以及一个保存相当完好的墓葬。2016-2019 年的新发掘以及新的放射性碳年代确定了详细的地层序列和年代学,重新评估了 Riparo Blanc 作为全新世早期主要墓葬遗址的地位。我们提供了至少 7 具遗骸(5 个成人和 2 个婴儿)的详细信息。虽然记录了完整/不完整的主要墓葬,但对分离的稀疏遗骸进行的古生物学调查推测,这些遗骸可能是二次葬,也可能是祭祀活动,甚至可能是食人活动。
