Abstract
The study of wooden artifacts recovered in dry context is scarce. The objective of this work is to identify morphometric patterns in wooden artifacts and to evaluate their relationship with the technological manufacturing processes. To this end, wooden artifacts were analyzed from the site Cerro Casa de Piedra 7, through the 3D scanning, calculation of curvature directions and archaeobotanical analysis. These artifacts are associated to hunter-gatherer groups and different occupations of the early Holocene. The results obtained show, on the one hand, the efficiency of the use of these techniques in the analysis of wooden artifacts recovered in completely dry contexts. The use of 3D scanning techniques showed that they can improve the analysis of manufacturing traces and/or use of wooden artifacts and the possibility of simulating the obtained results by computer. On the other hand, they show the existence of morphometric patterns, sustained in time, which are related to the manufacturing of the artifacts from the Cerro Casa de Piedra 7. In summary, the archaeobotanical analysis methodology presented and developed in this work allows its application to the study of different woody materials regardless of their chronology and recovery site.
在干燥环境中发现的木制文物的研究很少。这项工作的目的是识别木制文物的形态测量模式,并评估它们与技术制造过程的关系。为此,通过3D扫描、曲率方向计算和考古植物学分析,对Cerro Casa de Piedra 7遗址的木制文物进行了分析。这些器物与全新世早期的狩猎采集者群体和不同职业有关。所获得的结果表明,一方面,在完全干燥的环境中使用这些技术分析木制文物的效率。3D扫描技术的使用表明,它们可以改善对制造痕迹和/或木制文物的使用的分析,以及通过计算机模拟所获得结果的可能性。另一方面,它们显示了形态测量模式的存在,这些模式在时间上持续存在,这与Cerro Casa de Piedra 7号文物的制造有关。总之,在这项工作中提出和发展的考古植物学分析方法允许其应用于不同木质材料的研究,而不考虑其年代和恢复地点。
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.
