Abstract

Lacustrine environments are considered favorable locations for Neolithic settlements, constituting a reliable year-round water resource, which contributes to fertile arable land, rich biodiversity, and natural protection. Living by the wetlands, however, is characterized by intensive ecological vulnerabilities, that is, floods and fire events. These recurrent episodes are difficult to trace in the occupation layers since natural processes combined with human activities can form variable mixed microenvironments. Consequently, the direct impact of these events on the biography of the settlement and the decision-making of its inhabitants is understudied. This paper presents a high-resolution, microstratigraphic analysis at the Neolithic pile-dwelling settlement of Dispilio (Kastoria, northern Greece) to trace past ecological threats and unravel the resilience strategies of the lake-dwellers against the continuously altered microenvironments. By correlating the results with regional environmental and cultural events, this paper questions the role of environmental changes as triggers for cultural modifications and considers a wide range of strategies for coping with wetland hazards.

应对沼泽洪水和火灾:希腊西北部迪斯皮利奥穴居遗址的恢复能力
湖沼环境被认为是新石器时代聚落的有利地点,它是全年可靠的水资源,有助于提供肥沃的耕地、丰富的生物多样性和自然保护。然而,湿地生活的特点是生态脆弱,即洪水和火灾事件频发。由于自然过程与人类活动相结合会形成多变的混合微环境,因此很难在占用层中追踪这些经常发生的事件。因此,人们对这些事件对聚落传记及其居民决策的直接影响研究不足。本文对新石器时代的迪斯皮利奥(希腊北部卡斯托里亚)穴居聚落进行了高分辨率的微地层分析,以追溯过去的生态威胁,并揭示湖泊居民对持续变化的微环境的适应策略。通过将研究结果与区域环境和文化事件相关联,本文质疑了环境变化作为文化改变触发因素的作用,并考虑了应对湿地灾害的各种策略。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
