Abstract
Based on the study of the primary documentation related to the excavations carried out by Eurico Miller in the 1970s at Abrigo do Sol, Mato Grosso (Brazil), we propose a new reading of the stratigraphic and chronological information obtained from this rock shelter. Despite the apparent incongruity in the chrono-stratigraphic distribution of published dates, a detailed examination of the stratigraphy and field notes allowed us to identify a chronometric sequence with regular distribution between the Middle Holocene and the Late Pleistocene periods for the Abrigo do Sol site. We present here the original documents related to radiocarbon dating and their analysis. We finally show the implications of this study for understanding this site and the discussions related to the ancient settlements of the Amazon forest.
根据对尤里科-米勒(Eurico Miller)于 20 世纪 70 年代在巴西马托格罗索州阿布里戈-多索尔(Abrigo do Sol)进行发掘的相关原始文献的研究,我们对从该岩洞获得的地层学和年代学信息提出了新的解读。尽管已公布日期的年代-地层分布明显不一致,但通过对地层和实地记录的详细研究,我们确定了 Abrigo do Sol 遗址的年代序列,其在全新世中期和更新世晚期之间的分布是有规律的。我们在此介绍与放射性碳测年有关的原始文件及其分析。最后,我们展示了这项研究对于了解该遗址以及与亚马逊森林古代定居点相关的讨论的意义。
期刊介绍:
Radiocarbon serves as the leading international journal for technical and interpretive articles, date lists, and advancements in 14C and other radioisotopes relevant to archaeological, geophysical, oceanographic, and related dating methods. Established in 1959, it has published numerous seminal works and hosts the triennial International Radiocarbon Conference proceedings. The journal also features occasional special issues. Submissions encompass regular articles such as research reports, technical descriptions, and date lists, along with comments, letters to the editor, book reviews, and laboratory lists.
