Abstract

This article reviews how recent advances in archaeological and scientific methodologies have introduced a new era of research into ancient wine production and grape cultivation. Our understanding has progressed enormously since early studies in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Analytical tools can now detect and interpret the presence of wine at increasingly granular levels, while collaboration between archaeologists and scientists has explored links between ancient and modern viticulture. We discuss the development and application of ancient DNA, archaeobotany and palynology, organic residue analysis, aerial photography, and geophysical prospection in relation to the cutting-edge exploration of key debates around ancient wine: the evolution of grapevine domestication; identification of production facilities and wine drinking, storage, and transport vessels; characterization of wine properties; and the archaeology of vineyards. In doing so, we also explore future possibilities for the field, including current challenges and limitations in data and method.

古酒研究的进展与创新

本文回顾了考古和科学方法的最新进展如何引入了古代葡萄酒生产和葡萄种植研究的新时代。自19世纪和20世纪初的早期研究以来，我们的理解有了巨大的进步。现在，分析工具可以在越来越精细的层次上检测和解释葡萄酒的存在，而考古学家和科学家之间的合作已经探索了古代和现代葡萄栽培之间的联系。我们讨论了古代DNA、考古植物学和孢粉学、有机残留物分析、航空摄影和地球物理勘探的发展和应用，以及与古代葡萄酒相关的关键争论的前沿探索：葡萄驯化的演变；生产设施和葡萄酒饮用、储存、运输容器的标识；葡萄酒特性的表征；还有葡萄园考古。在此过程中，我们还探索了该领域未来的可能性，包括当前在数据和方法方面的挑战和限制。
