摘要
Tell Kamid el-Loz(黎巴嫩)是一个重要的青铜时代城市中心,占据着古代近东的一个中心十字路口,连接着埃及和黎凡特、美索不达米亚北部、安纳托利亚和叙利亚,以及内陆和地中海沿岸。然而,到了铁器时代早期,该遗址已缩小为一个小型农村定居点。后来,到了铁器时代三/波斯-希腊化时期,只剩下神秘的坑穴和一个大型墓地。在本文中,我们分析了 15 人(3 人来自青铜时代中期 II 期,12 人来自铁器时代 III 期/波斯-赫勒尼特期)牙结石中的植物微遗迹,以及 74 人(10 人来自青铜时代中期 II 期,64 人来自铁器时代 III 期/波斯-赫勒尼特期)胫骨胶原蛋白中的δ13C 和δ15N 稳定同位素数据,以及 13 块青铜时代晚期的兽骨(7 块羱/羯骨和 6 块牛骨)。我们的研究结果表明,在青铜时代中期 II 和铁器时代 III/波斯-赫勒尼特时期,人类的饮食结构基本稳定,主要依赖 C3 植物作物,陆生动物也食用 C3 植物。在晚期,植物微遗迹表明人们食用 C4 植物和莎草,稳定同位素分析表明男性和女性在饮食方面存在差异。
Reconstructing dietary practices at Tell Kamid el-Loz (Lebanon) during the Bronze and Iron Age III / Persian to Hellenistic periods using plant micro-remains from dental calculus and stable isotope analysis of bone collagen
Tell Kamid el-Loz (Lebanon) was an important Bronze Age urban center that dominated one of the central crossroads of the Ancient Near East, connecting Egypt and the Levant with northern Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and Syria, as well as the interior with the Mediterranean coast. However, by the early Iron Age, the site had shrunk to a small rural settlement. Later, in the Iron Age III / Persian-Hellenistic, only enigmatic pits and a large cemetery remained. In this paper, we analyzed plant micro-remains from the dental calculus of 15 individuals (3 from the Middle Bronze Age II and 12 from the Iron Age III / Persian-Hellenistic) and δ13C and δ15N stable isotope data from tbulk bone collagen of 74 individuals (10 from the Middle Bronze Age II and 64 from the Iron Age III / Persian-Hellenistic) and 13 Late Bronze Age animal bones (7 Ovis/Capra and 6 Bos). Our results indicate general stability of human diet throughout the Middle Bronze Age II and the Iron III / Persian-Hellenistic periods, with a reliance on C3 plant crops and terrestrial animals also consuming C3 plants. In the later period, the plant micro-remains indicate the consumption of C4 plants and sedges, and the stable isotope analysis indicates differences in diet between males and females.
期刊介绍:
Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences covers the full spectrum of natural scientific methods with an emphasis on the archaeological contexts and the questions being studied. It bridges the gap between archaeologists and natural scientists providing a forum to encourage the continued integration of scientific methodologies in archaeological research.
Coverage in the journal includes: archaeology, geology/geophysical prospection, geoarchaeology, geochronology, palaeoanthropology, archaeozoology and archaeobotany, genetics and other biomolecules, material analysis and conservation science.
The journal is endorsed by the German Society of Natural Scientific Archaeology and Archaeometry (GNAA), the Hellenic Society for Archaeometry (HSC), the Association of Italian Archaeometrists (AIAr) and the Society of Archaeological Sciences (SAS).
