The archaeological record of the Western Sahara remains extremely fragmentary, with very few sites systematically excavated. The excavation at Ashash rock shelter (Zemmur region) has provided, for the first time in the region, the evidence of superimposition of two prehistoric occupations that have been radiocarbon dated to the early 9th millennium cal.BPand to the mid-7th millennium cal.BP. The Epipalaeolithic occupation is strongly marked by the standardised production of geometric microliths and points using a microburin blow technique. The Neolithic occupation of the site has yielded a few potsherds that provide the first unambiguous evidence of pottery in the Zemmur area in the mid-7th millennium cal.BP.
西撒哈拉的考古记录仍然极为零散,很少有遗址被系统挖掘。Ashash岩石避难所(Zemmur地区)的挖掘首次在该地区提供了,两种史前职业叠加的证据,这两种职业的放射性碳年代可追溯到公元9千年早期的公元B.Pand至公元7千年中期的公元B.P.旧石器时代晚期的职业以使用微气泡吹制技术标准化生产几何微晶体和点为显著标志。新石器时代对该遗址的占领产生了一些陶器碎片,为公元7千年中期泽穆尔地区的陶器提供了第一个明确的证据。

Crucibles to melt glass are very rare in archaeological contexts in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent archaeological excavations at Igbo Olokun, Ile-Ife (Southwest Nigeria) revealed abundant fragments of glass crucibles from 11th-15th century AD deposits, matching the complete and near complete examples earlier reported from Ile-Ife. This paper provides an in-depth examination of these crucible fragments in order to understand the material quality of the crucibles, their typology, and their functions in glass- working/making. Optical microscopic and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) analyses were carried out on ten crucible samples. The composition of ceramic fabrics and the adhering glass are presented and discussed in view of their function. The crucibles were produced from specifically selected highly refractory clay and used for melting glass from its raw materials; colorants were added to the melt in the crucible. The useable capacity of the crucibles varied from 1 to 7 liters, equivalent to about 2.5 to 17.5 kg of finished glass for each crucible. Compositional analysis of a sample of the thousands of glass beads from the excavations indicates that the crucibles were used to melt the glass used in the beads. Archaeological evidence of glass bead making at this scale has not previously been reported from West Africa. The crucibles are unique evidence of indigenous glass-working/making in Sub-Saharan Africa from early through mid-second millennium AD.
在撒哈拉以南非洲的考古环境中,用于熔化玻璃的坩埚非常罕见。最近在伊莱- ife(尼日利亚西南部)的伊博·奥洛肯(Igbo Olokun)进行的考古发掘发现了公元11 -15世纪沉积物中大量的玻璃坩埚碎片,与之前在伊莱- ife报道的完整和近乎完整的例子相匹配。本文对这些坩埚碎片进行了深入的研究,以了解坩埚的材料质量,它们的类型以及它们在玻璃加工/制造中的功能。对10个坩埚试样进行了光学显微镜、扫描电镜和能谱分析。介绍了陶瓷织物的组成和粘接玻璃的功能,并对其进行了讨论。坩埚是由特别挑选的高耐火粘土制成的,用于从原材料中熔化玻璃;在坩埚中的熔体中加入了着色剂。坩埚的可用容量从1升到7升不等,相当于每个坩埚约2.5至17.5公斤成品玻璃。对挖掘出的数千个玻璃珠样本的成分分析表明,坩埚是用来熔化玻璃珠的。这种规模的玻璃珠制作的考古证据以前从未在西非报道过。这些坩埚是撒哈拉以南非洲地区从公元第二个千年早期到中期土著玻璃加工/制造的独特证据。

Sacred groves are ubiquitous on the cultural landscape of Ile-Ifẹ and they have been the site of most archaeological research in the ancient Yoruba city. But these studies have been driven by the view that sacred groves were places of static ritual traditions. Recovering the paraphernalia of those rituals, especially the exquisite sculptures, therefore preoccupied the pioneering archaeological research in Ile-Ifẹ. In contrast, the historical trajectories that defined the evolution and transformation of these groves as dynamic cultural sites have not been undertaken. We make the case in this article that sacred groves are dynamic and meaningful sites for historical negotiation. With this perspective, we conducted archaeological study of Oduduwa Grove in Ile-Ife with the goal to understand the broad sociocultural processes that have shaped the cultural landscape of the grove across different registers of time. The archaeological evidence in Oduduwa Grove dates back to at least the fourteenth century. We focus this article on the evolution of the grove during the twentieth century with emphasis on the materiality of colonial and postcolonial modernity and its implications for rituals of royal coronation, sacrificial rites, and feasting.Des bosquets sacres sont omnipresents sur le paysage culturel de Ile-Ife et elles ont ete le site de la plupart des recherches archeologiques dans l’antique ville Yoruba. Mais ces etudes ont ete entrainee par le point de vue que des bosquets sacres etaient des endroits de la statique les traditions rituelles. Recuperation de l’attirail de ces rituels, particulierement les sculptures exquis, par consequent preoccupe le pionnier de la recherche archeologique dans Ile-Ifẹ. En revanche, les trajectoires historiques qui a defini l’evolution et la transformation de ces bosquets comme sites culturels dynamiques n’ont pas ete entrepris. Nous faisons le cas dans cet article que des bosquets sacres sont dynamiques et fructueux pour historique negociation. Dans cette perspective, nous avons procede a l’etude archeologique de Oduduwa Grove dans Ile-Ifẹ avec l’objectif de comprendre le vaste processus socioculturel qui ont faconne le paysage culturel du bosquet a travers differents registres de temps. Les preuves archeologiques dans Oduduwa Grove remonte au moins a la quatorzieme siecle. Nous nous concentrerons dans cet article sur l’evolution du bosquet au cours du xxe siecle, avec l’accent sur l’importance relative de la modernite coloniale et post-coloniale et ses implications pour les rituels de couronnement royal, rites sacrificiels, et un festin.This article is in English.
神圣的树林在伊莱伊芙的文化景观中无处不在,它们是古代约鲁巴城市中大多数考古研究的地点。但这些研究都是由这样一种观点驱动的,即神圣的树林是静态仪式传统的场所。因此,恢复这些仪式的用具,特别是精美的雕塑,是伊芙岛开创性的考古研究的重点。相比之下,将这些小树林定义为动态文化遗址的演变和转变的历史轨迹尚未进行。我们在这篇文章中提出,神圣的树林是动态的和有意义的历史谈判场所。从这个角度来看,我们对Ile-Ife的Oduduwa Grove进行了考古研究,目的是了解在不同时间范围内形成Grove文化景观的广泛社会文化过程。奥杜瓦丛林的考古证据至少可以追溯到14世纪。本文将聚焦于20世纪林苑的演变,重点关注殖民和后殖民现代性的物质性及其对皇室加冕仪式、祭祀仪式和宴会的影响。Des bosquets的圣物无所不在,在Ile-Ife的支付文化中无处不在,在la plupart的遗址中研究考古,在l ' ancient ville Yoruba。主要的研究对象是那些有价值的人,那些有价值的人,那些有价值的人,那些有价值的人,那些有传统仪式的人。复原的仪式,特别是精致的雕塑,随之而来的是考古研究的先驱们对伊伊芙岛的关注。在复仇的过程中,历史的轨迹是一种明确的进化和转型,而这种转变是由社会、文化、文化、动态和企业组成的。在历史谈判中,传统的谈判方式和传统的谈判方式、动态的谈判方式、结构的谈判方式都是不同的。在不同的视角下,我们可以从不同的角度来理解这个过程,从不同的角度来理解这个过程,从社会文化的角度来理解这个过程,从不同的角度来理解这个过程,从不同的角度来理解这个过程。Les preuves archeologiques dans Oduduwa Grove remmonte moins a la quatorzieme世纪。这两篇文章分别是:《20世纪的宗教演变》、《现代殖民主义和后殖民主义的重要性》、《皇室礼仪》、《祭祀仪式》和《节日》。这篇文章是用英语写的。

Sterkfontein Member 5 East (Oldowan Infill) and Swartkrans Member 1 (Lower Bank) represent the largest concentrations of Oldowan artefacts in southern Africa, and yet they vary significantly in terms of raw material use and typological frequencies. While previous research has described these differences in detail, questions remain as to the cause and implications of this variability. To increase resolution on this matter, this study implements quantitative methods to investigate lithic production strategies at these sites. Results expand upon previous findings concerning differences in raw material use and knapping methods and how these patterns relate to core reduction and flake production. Explanations for these patterns focus on a dichotomy between efficiency and expediency in lithic production, which differ from previous interpretations. As such, variability between these assemblages may relate more to mobility patterns in early hominins within this region and immediate needs for tool use.Le Membre 5 Est (“Oldowan Infill”) de Sterkfontein et le Membre 1 (« Lower Bank ») de Swartkrans ont livre a eux deux la plus importante collection d’artefacts Oldowayens connue d’Afrique du Sud. Pourtant, les ensembles provenant de ces deux gisements presentent des variations considerables, a la fois typologiquement parlant et en termes de matieres premieres lithiques utilisees. Bien que ces differences aient ete decrites dans des travaux anterieurs, certaines questions demeurent quant a l’origine de cette variabilite et ses implications. Afin d’ameliorer notre comprehension de ces questions, l’etude presentee ici met en œuvre une approche quantitative permettant d’etudier les strategies de production lithique sur ces deux sites. Nos resultats developpent ceux precedemment obtenus sur les differences dans l’utilisation des matieres premieres lithiques, les methodes de taille ainsi que le lien entre ces choix, les strategies de reduction des nucleus et la production d’eclats. Ces modeles de production lithique s’expliquent en grande partie par une dichotomie entre efficacite d’une part et rapidite d’autre part – un point qui differe des interpretations precedemment proposees. La variabilite entre ces deux ensembles pourrait ainsi etre rapportee a des schemas de mobilite des premiers hominines dans cette region et a des besoins d’utilisation d’outils immediats.This article is in English.
Sterkfontein成员5 East(Oldowan填充物)和Swartkrans成员1(下岸)代表了南部非洲Oldowan人工制品的最大浓度,但在原材料使用和类型频率方面差异很大。虽然先前的研究已经详细描述了这些差异,但问题仍然是这种可变性的原因和影响。为了提高这一问题的解决方案,本研究采用定量方法调查这些地点的石质生产策略。结果扩展了先前关于原材料使用和磨削方法差异的发现,以及这些模式与核心还原和薄片生产的关系。这些模式的解释侧重于石器生产效率和速度之间的二分法,这与之前的解释不同。因此,这些组件之间的可变性可能更多地与该地区早期人类的流动模式和工具使用的即时需求有关。Sterkfontein的成员5 EST(“Oldowan Infill”)和Swartkrans的成员1(“Lower Bank”)共同交付了南非已知最大的Oldowan文物收藏。然而,这两个矿床的组合在类型学上和使用的石器原料方面都有很大的变化。尽管这些差异在以前的工作中已经描述过,但关于这种可变性的起源及其影响,仍然存在一些问题。为了提高我们对这些问题的理解,本研究实施了一种定量方法,以研究这两个地点的石质生产策略。我们的结果发展了之前获得的关于石器原料使用差异、尺寸方法以及这些选择、核还原策略和碎片生产之间的联系的结果。这些石器生产模型在很大程度上可以解释为效率和速度之间的二分法——这一点与之前提出的解释不同。因此,这两组人之间的变异性可以与该地区早期人类的流动模式和使用即时工具的需要有关。这篇文章是英文的。

Afin d’ameliorer notre comprehension de ces questions, l’etude presentee ici met en œuvre une approche quantitative permettant d’etudier les strategies de production lithique sur ces deux sites. Nos resultats developpent ceux precedemment obtenus sur les differences dans l’utilisation des matieres premieres lithiques, les methodes de taille ainsi que le lien entre ces choix, les strategies de reduction des nucleus et la production d’eclats. Ces modeles de production lithique s’expliquent en grande partie par une dichotomie entre efficacite d’une part et rapidite d’autre part – un point qui differe des interpretations precedemment proposees. La variabilite entre ces deux ensembles pourrait ainsi etre rapportee a des schemas de mobilite des premiers hominines dans cette region et a des besoins d’utilisation d’outils immediats.This article is in English.","PeriodicalId":44797,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Archaeology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2017-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1163/21915784-12340001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43231152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
