We have documented more than 200 relative values of gold and silver across almost 3000 years (2500 bce–400 ce) to establish value benchmarks for essentially pure metal. Our aim is to improve understanding of ancient economies by enabling regional and temporal comparisons of these relative values. First, we establish silver as an early, reliable benchmark for valuing gold of varying purity before implementation of parting. Whilst purity accounted for two to threefold variation in the value of gold, we conclude that availability was more influential. Access to Nubian gold until about 1100 bce seems an important influence on gold-silver value ratios in Egypt and the Near East, which increased significantly following loss of this source. This investigation yields a suite of relative values for essentially pure gold and silver, subdivided by regions and intervals from 2500 bce–400 ce. These will enable future comparisons of precious metal-denominated costs of labour and commodities, including with today.

我们记录了近3000年(公元前2500年至公元前400年)黄金和白银的200多个相对价值,以建立本质上纯金属的价值基准。我们的目标是通过对这些相对价值进行区域和时间比较来提高对古代经济的理解。首先,我们建立了一个早期的,可靠的基准,以评估不同纯度的黄金在实施分离之前。虽然纯度占到黄金价值变化的两到三倍,但我们得出结论,可用性更有影响力。直到公元前1100年左右,努比亚黄金的获取似乎对埃及和近东的金银价值比产生了重要影响,在失去这一来源后,金银价值比显著增加。这项研究得出了一套基本上纯金和纯银的相对价值,并按地区和时间间隔从公元前2500年至400年进行了细分。这将使未来能够对以贵金属计价的劳动力和大宗商品成本进行比较,包括与当前的成本进行比较。

Domestic architecture is increasingly revisited as a source of data about wealth inequality in the distant past via the Gini coefficient, a statistical tool often used in economics to compare income inequality. Many areas—including South America, Africa, South Asia and Oceania—remain under-sampled, making it difficult to develop a more complete picture of ancient political economies. In this paper we present a first look at this measure in the Hawaiian Islands. These data show that during the period prior to contact with Europeans inequality was extremely high, most similar to autocratic archaic states. We also found geographic patterning that may ultimately be linked to dryland (non-irrigated) farming. On islands reliant on dryland farming (Mau‘i, Hawai‘i), we find distinctively less inequality than elsewhere, or larger house sizes. We hypothesize these may have been innovations in how wealth was made visible to create and maintain cooperation in places where more labour would have been required to grow surplus. More research is necessary to test this hypothesis, investigate alternative interpretations, and to put these findings in larger regional context within Polynesia.

通过基尼系数,国内建筑越来越多地被重新视为遥远过去财富不平等的数据来源,基尼系数是经济学中经常用来比较收入不平等的统计工具。包括南美洲、非洲、南亚和大洋洲在内的许多地区仍然采样不足,很难更全面地了解古代政治经济。在本文中,我们首先介绍了夏威夷群岛的这一措施。这些数据表明,在与欧洲人接触之前的一段时间里,不平等程度极高,最类似于专制的古代国家。我们还发现,地理格局最终可能与旱地(非灌溉)农业有关。在依赖旱地农业的岛屿上(毛岛、夏威夷岛),我们发现与其他地方相比,不平等现象明显减少,或者房屋面积更大。我们假设,这些可能是财富的创新,在需要更多劳动力来增加盈余的地方,创造和保持合作。需要更多的研究来检验这一假设,调查其他解释,并将这些发现放在波利尼西亚更大的区域背景下。

The ever-growing body of research on trans-Eurasian exchange during the third–first millennium bce continues to improve understanding of mechanisms that facilitated the movement of objects, materials, ideas, and even people. However, whether bronze mirrors in Central Asia and China represent the exchange of technological knowledge or movement of the objects themselves remains unresolved, as researchers require extensive knowledge of huge quantities of data generated during the Soviet Central Asia campaigns of the mid twentieth century. The often confusing, impenetrable excavation reports, combined with required knowledge of Chinese, Russian and English, have caused much confusion about dates and contexts. This article presents and compares data published in Russian and Chinese reports. By clarifying the chronology for mirrors in Central Asia and China, we challenge simplistic theories of object diffusion and spread that persist in studies of trans-Eurasian exchange. We argue that the early second-millennium bce appearance of mirrors in western and northwestern China resulted from different exchange mechanisms specific to each local socio-cultural context. This demonstrates not only the complexity of interactions at the group and individual levels, but also how these factors can be integrated with data-driven analyses to explore the role they played in large-scale Bronze Age exchange networks.
对公元前三千年至公元前一千年跨欧亚交流的研究越来越多,这继续提高了对促进物品、材料、思想甚至人员流动的机制的理解。然而,中亚和中国的铜镜是否代表了技术知识的交流或物体本身的运动仍然没有解决,因为研究人员需要对20世纪中期苏联中亚运动期间产生的大量数据有广泛的了解。通常令人困惑、难以理解的挖掘报告,加上对中文、俄文和英文的要求,造成了很多关于日期和背景的混淆。本文介绍并比较了俄文和中文报告中公布的数据。通过澄清中亚和中国镜子的年代,我们挑战了在跨欧亚交流研究中持续存在的简单的物体扩散和传播理论。我们认为,中国西部和西北部早在公元前2000年就出现了镜子,这是由于当地社会文化背景不同的交换机制造成的。这不仅展示了群体和个人层面互动的复杂性,还展示了这些因素如何与数据驱动的分析相结合,以探索它们在大规模青铜时代交流网络中所扮演的角色。

Past and present cultures perceive their natural landscape as an integral and vital component of their complex worlds, while particular landscape features and associated monuments built in selected locales become sacred and revered through stories, legends and rituals embedded in mundane and ceremonial events. The hyper-arid Har Tzuriaz area in the southern Negev, Israel, offers a case study of culture-geographic continuities over a chronologically cumulative archaeological sequence. The large set of well-preserved structures located adjacent to water sources, a massive escarpment and a major desert crossroads includes campsites, cult sites, rock-art sites, cairn fields and one desert kite (a large game trap). Cultural continuities and change can be traced from the sixth millennium bce through recent times, reflecting a dynamic system of meanings and interpretations of both the natural and the built landscape within one particular sacred area in the desert. These phenomena are exemplified in archaeological analyses of an open-air shrine, burial cairns, an isolated desert kite and a precise engraving of that kite dated 5000 years later, all in the general context of a dense concentration of surveyed sites.
过去和现在的文化将其自然景观视为其复杂世界中不可或缺的重要组成部分,而在选定地点建造的特定景观和相关纪念碑则通过世俗和仪式事件中的故事、传说和仪式而变得神圣和受人尊敬。以色列内盖夫南部的极度干旱的Har Tzuriaz地区提供了一个在时间累积考古序列上文化地理连续性的案例研究。这套保存完好的大型建筑毗邻水源、一个巨大的悬崖和一个主要的沙漠十字路口,包括露营地、邪教场所、岩石艺术场所、石堆和一只沙漠风筝(一个大型游戏陷阱)。文化的连续性和变化可以追溯到公元前6千年到近代,反映了沙漠中一个特定神圣区域内自然景观和建筑景观的意义和解释的动态系统。这些现象体现在对露天神殿、埋葬石堆、一只孤立的沙漠风筝以及5000年后风筝的精确雕刻的考古分析中,所有这些都是在调查地点密集的背景下进行的。

This paper aims to contribute to the current debate about Posthumanism in archaeology, arguing for the potential that Posthumanism can have for the study of rock art. Through a case study in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, this work seeks to explore a posthuman approach to rock art as vibrant and relational assemblages, through affects as relational agencies and non-human personhood and ritual landscape as theoretical tools, articulated with aspects from indigenous ontologies explored from archaeological, ethnographic and documentary information. It is proposed that this approach can help interpret hunter-gatherer rock art created between 1000 and 1500 ce in the northern region of Mexico. Through this exercise it is considered that Mexican archaeology of rock art can embrace posthumanism for a more complex and comprehensive understanding of the painted memory of hunter-gatherers from this part of the world.
本文旨在为当前考古学中关于后人文主义的争论做出贡献,论证后人文主义对岩石艺术研究的潜力,通过情感作为关系机构和非人的人格和仪式景观作为理论工具,从考古、人种学和文献信息中探讨土著本体论的各个方面。有人提出,这种方法可以帮助解释墨西哥北部地区公元1000年至1500年之间创作的狩猎采集岩石艺术。通过这项工作,人们认为墨西哥的岩石艺术考古可以接受后人文主义,从而更复杂、更全面地了解世界这一地区狩猎采集者的绘画记忆。

Conversations with Caves: The Role of Pareidolia in the Upper Palaeolithic Figurative Art of Las Monedas and La Pasiega (Cantabria, Spain) 与洞穴的对话:帕雷多利亚在拉斯·莫内达斯和拉帕西耶加旧石器时代晚期人物艺术中的作用(西班牙坎塔布里亚)

The influence of pareidolia has often been anecdotally observed in examples of Upper Palaeolithic cave art, where topographic features of cave walls were incorporated into images. As part of a wider investigation into the visual psychology of the earliest known art, we explored three hypotheses relating to pareidolia in cases of Late Upper Palaeolithic art in Las Monedas and La Pasiega Caves (Cantabria, Spain). Deploying current research methods from visual psychology, our results support the notion that topography of cave walls played a strong role in the placement of figurative images—indicative of pareidolia influencing art making—although played a lesser role in determining whether the resulting images were relatively simple or complex. Our results also suggested that lighting conditions played little or no role in determining the form or placement of images, contrary to what has been previously assumed. We hypothesize that three ways of artist–cave interaction (‘conversations’) were at work in our sample caves and suggest a developmental scheme for these. We propose that these ‘conversations’ with caves and their surfaces may have broader implications for how we conceive of the emergence and development of art in the Palaeolithic.
在旧石器时代晚期洞穴艺术的例子中,经常可以观察到异偶像崇拜的影响,洞穴墙壁的地形特征被纳入图像中。作为对已知最早艺术的视觉心理学进行更广泛调查的一部分,我们在Las Monedas和La Pasiega洞穴(西班牙坎塔布里亚)的旧石器时代晚期艺术案例中探讨了与异偶像症有关的三个假设。运用当前视觉心理学的研究方法,我们的研究结果支持这样一种观点,即洞穴壁的地形在具象图像的放置中发挥了重要作用——这表明对艺术创作的盲目崇拜影响——尽管在确定所产生的图像是相对简单还是复杂方面发挥的作用较小。我们的研究结果还表明,与之前的假设相反,照明条件在决定图像的形式或位置方面几乎没有或根本没有发挥作用。我们假设艺术家与洞穴互动的三种方式(“转化”)在我们的样本洞穴中发挥作用,并提出了这些方式的发展方案。我们认为,这些与洞穴及其表面的“对话”可能会对我们如何看待旧石器时代艺术的出现和发展产生更广泛的影响。

Archaeology is centrally concerned with the tension between material remains in the present and a reconstructed past. This tension is captured by the concept of a trace, namely a contemporary phenomenon that references the past through some sort of epistemic intervention. Traces are deceptively complex in terms of both their epistemology and their ontology and hence worthy of detailed exploration. In particular, archaeological traces not only concern the past per se but also possess a latent quality of as yet unrealized signification. This gives archaeological traces a future orientation that is rarely considered in discussions of archaeological epistemology.
考古学主要关注现在的物质遗迹和重建的过去之间的紧张关系。这种张力被痕迹的概念所捕捉,痕迹是一种通过某种认识干预参考过去的当代现象。痕迹在认识论和本体论方面都是复杂的,因此值得详细探索。特别是,考古痕迹不仅涉及过去本身,而且具有尚未实现的潜在意义。这为考古痕迹提供了一个在考古认识论讨论中很少考虑的未来方向。

Archaeological materials from the Mediterranean world in Southeast Asia are scarce and their social context and cultural implications are rarely considered, while objects in Mediterranean style are often misinterpreted or overlooked. Concomitant to the increasing implementation of laboratory analysis, the range of new evidence, especially coming from recently excavated sites in Thailand and Myanmar, along with the reinterpretation of earlier data now brings the potential to compare different regions, and to discuss possible variations in terms both of the diversity and density of Roman materials. This study includes Mediterranean imports produced between the last centuries bce and first centuries ce, as well as Asia-produced inspired objects that integrate Mediterranean elements to varying degrees, combining new data and re-analysed materials. The paper not only contributes to building the sequence of cultural exchanges, but also interprets in cultural terms the varying Mediterranean elements present.
来自东南亚地中海世界的考古材料很少,它们的社会背景和文化含义很少被考虑,而地中海风格的物品往往被误解或忽视。随着实验室分析的日益实施,新证据的范围,特别是来自泰国和缅甸最近挖掘的遗址的证据,以及对早期数据的重新解释,现在有可能比较不同地区,并讨论罗马材料的多样性和密度方面的可能变化。这项研究包括公元前最后几个世纪至公元前一个世纪生产的地中海进口产品,以及亚洲生产的不同程度融合地中海元素的受启发物品,结合了新数据和重新分析的材料。本文不仅有助于构建文化交流的序列,而且从文化角度解释了地中海的各种元素。
