Abstract

The application of Social Network Analysis to the study of archaeological networks has become increasingly common around the world, with a proven track record of processing large, complex, spatial and temporal archaeological datasets. This study builds upon previous network-based analyses of interaction between communities of the Lapita Cultural Complex, with a specific focus on the Early Period (c.3300/3200–3100 calBP) in the Bismarck Archipelago, Papua New Guinea. Employing motif inventories from 13 Early Lapita Period assemblages, motif similarity and Centrality Analysis are undertaken, with the results compared to data from portable material culture, particularly obsidian and pottery, to further define the networks of interaction that linked communities during this period. We conclude that motif similarities and Centrality Analysis scores show good agreement with patterns of interactions established from the analysis of other types of portable material culture, which together support the existence of northern west to east and southern obsidian distribution networks, comprised of communities that employed unique types of interaction tailored towards their own cultural and societal circumstances and needs. Finally, we further conclude that these two networks may have arisen during the initial formation of the Lapita Cultural Complex, as populations established new social connections with other settler communities and incumbent populations across the region to survive in a new and foreign environment.

设计网络:通过社会网络分析研究巴布亚新几内亚俾斯麦群岛早期拉皮塔人的交流网络
将社会网络分析应用于考古网络研究在全球范围内已变得越来越普遍,在处理大型、复杂、时空考古数据集方面有着良好的记录。本研究建立在之前对拉皮塔文化复合体社区之间互动的网络分析基础之上,重点关注巴布亚新几内亚俾斯麦群岛的早期时期(约 3300/3200-3100 calBP)。我们利用 13 个早期拉皮塔时期集合的图案清单,进行了图案相似性和中心性分析,并将分析结果与便携式物质文化(尤其是黑曜石和陶器)的数据进行了比较,以进一步界定这一时期连接社区的互动网络。我们得出的结论是,图案相似性和中心性分析得分与其他类型的便携式物质文化分析所确定的互动模式非常吻合,这共同支持了北方自西向东和南方黑曜石分布网络的存在,该网络由根据自身文化和社会环境及需求采用独特互动类型的社区组成。最后,我们进一步得出结论,这两个网络可能是在拉皮塔文化复合体形成初期出现的,当时的居民与该地区的其他定居者社区和原有居民建立了新的社会联系,以便在新的陌生环境中生存。

期刊介绍: Archaeology in Oceania is published online and in print versions three times a year: April, July, October. It accepts articles and research reports in prehistoric and historical archaeology, modern material culture and human biology of ancient and modern human populations. Its primary geographic focus is Australia, the islands of the Pacific Ocean and lands of the western Pacific rim. All articles and research reports accepted as being within the remit of the journal and of appropriate standard will be reviewed by two scholars; authors will be informed of these comments though not necessarily of the reviewer’s names.
