Abstract

This article discusses the chaîne opératoire concept in prehistoric archaeology, traditionally employed for the study of lithic industries and ceramic production, and focuses on personal ornament manufacture. This category of non-functional objects has been analysed with the operational sequence approach in the framework of a research project aimed at the techno-functional study of prehistoric marble artefacts. Throughout an experimental approach, the study presents the actions and choices made by the artisans to produce marble beads and tries to understand the role and social-cultural meaning that these items had for the Copper Age communities in Tuscany. Finally, our study proved that the beginning of the use of the Apuan marble can be traced back to the sixth millennium BC, and it was connected with the production of personal ornaments, reaching its peak during the Copper Age.
解读个人装饰品制作的 "Chaîne Opératoire "方法:意大利托斯卡纳铜器时代的大理石珠子
本文讨论了史前考古学中的 "操作序列"(chaîne opératoire)概念,这一概念传统上用于研究石器工业和陶瓷生产,本文重点讨论了个人装饰品制造。在一个旨在对史前大理石工艺品进行技术功能研究的研究项目框架内,采用操作序列法对这类非功能性物品进行了分析。通过实验方法,该研究介绍了工匠们制作大理石珠子的行动和选择,并试图了解这些物品对托斯卡纳铜器时代社区的作用和社会文化意义。最后,我们的研究证明,阿普安大理石的使用可以追溯到公元前六千年,它与个人装饰品的制作有关,在铜器时代达到了顶峰。
