Abstract

Human dependency on stone has its origins in Lower Paleolithic times, and some of the most primordial elements in human-stone relationships are rooted in those early days. In this paper, we focus our attention on extensive Paleolithic stone quarries discovered and studied in the Galilee, Israel. We propose a triadic model that connects stone outcrops, elephants, and water bodies to shed light on what made stone quarries places of significance, beginning in the Lower Paleolithic, and continuing throughout the ages.

采石场是旧石器时代下层 "象、水、石 "三位一体的重要场所

人类对石头的依赖起源于旧石器时代晚期，人类与石头关系中一些最原始的元素就根植于那个早期。在本文中，我们将注意力集中在在以色列加利利发现和研究的广泛的旧石器时代采石场。我们提出了一个三位一体的模型，将石头露头、大象和水体联系起来，以阐明是什么使采石场成为重要的地方，从旧石器时代晚期开始，一直持续到各个时代。

期刊介绍： Archaeologies: Journal of the World Archaeological Congress offers a venue for debates and topical issues, through peer-reviewed articles, reports and reviews. It emphasizes contributions that seek to recenter (or decenter) archaeology, and that challenge local and global power geometries. Areas of interest include ethics and archaeology; public archaeology; legacies of colonialism and nationalism within the discipline; the interplay of local and global archaeological traditions; theory and archaeology; the discipline’s involvement in projects of memory, identity, and restitution; and rights and ethics relating to cultural property, issues of acquisition, custodianship, conservation, and display. Recognizing the importance of non-Western epistemologies and intellectual traditions, the journal publishes some material in nonstandard format, including dialogues; annotated photographic essays; transcripts of public events; and statements from elders, custodians, descent groups and individuals.
