Abstract

A topographic survey of the Dorset site Phillip’s Garden identified 183 surface features that potentially expand present understandings of social life at the settlement. Its long history of archaeological excavations focused on depressions observable on the ground surface. Excavation confirmed them as large dwellings, which became the basis for describing a unique settlement pattern at the site. This survey detected more subtle depressions and other features, which while remaining untested, could reveal new settlement practices. The number of possible dwellings at the site could more than double earlier estimates, and many of those appear to be lightly constructed compared to excavated houses. The distribution of features shows variation in density and possibly, that feature construction may have involved incorporating other houses and the natural beach terraces. Issues of seasonality, household organization, and cultural and profiles are some of the implications that could be explored as a result of this survey.

纽芬兰西北部菲利普花园多塞特占用的地形分析:对住宅数量、形式和现场安置的影响
对多塞特菲利浦花园遗址的地形调查确定了183个地表特征,这些特征有可能扩大人们对该定居点社会生活的理解。其悠久的考古发掘历史集中在地表可见的洼地上。挖掘证实了它们是大型住宅,这成为描述该遗址独特定居模式的基础。这项调查发现了更多微妙的洼地和其他特征,这些特征虽然尚未经过测试,但可能揭示新的定居做法。该遗址可能的住宅数量可能是先前估计的两倍多,而且与挖掘出来的房屋相比,其中许多房屋的建造似乎很轻。特征的分布显示密度的变化,并且可能,特征的建造可能涉及到合并其他房屋和天然海滩露台。季节性、家庭组织、文化和概况等问题是本调查可以探讨的一些影响。

期刊介绍: Arctic Anthropology, founded in 1962 by Chester S. Chard, is an international journal devoted to the study of Old and New World northern cultures and peoples. Archaeology, ethnology, physical anthropology, and related disciplines are represented, with emphasis on: studies of specific cultures of the arctic, subarctic and contiguous regions of the world; the peopling of the New World; relationships between New World and Eurasian cultures of the circumpolar zone; contemporary problems and culture change among northern peoples; and new directions in interdisciplinary northern research.
