Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper we present a review of previous research carried out at the Alice Boer site coupled with new data regarding its lithic industry and ages. Our data suggest that the site, once believed to be at least 14,000 years old, most probably was occupied no earlier than 8000 years ago. The lithic material, comprising both bifacial and unifacial formal artifacts, can be associated to the Rioclarense industry. This industry is now well described and was dated elsewhere (at Caetetuba site) as early Holocene. Therefore, in spite of not being as old as originally thought, Alice Boer can be considered to relate to the late Paleoamerican occupation of South America from a cultural point of view.
Alice Boer的兴衰:对一个被挖掘的前克洛维斯遗址的重新评估
在本文中,我们提出了以前的研究在爱丽丝布尔网站进行了回顾,再加上新的数据关于其石业和年龄。我们的数据表明,这个曾经被认为至少有14000年历史的遗址,很可能在8000年前就有人居住了。包括双面和单面正式工件的石质材料可以与Rioclarense工业联系起来。这个工业现在被很好地描述,并在其他地方(在Caetetuba遗址)被确定为全新世早期。因此,从文化的角度来看,Alice Boer可以被认为与古美洲人占领南美洲的晚期有关,尽管它并不像最初想象的那么古老。

期刊介绍: PaleoAmerica disseminates new research results and ideas about early human dispersal and migrations, with a particular focus on the Americas. It fosters an interdisciplinary dialog between archaeologists, geneticists and other scientists investigating the dispersal of modern humans during the late Pleistocene. The journal has three goals: First and foremost, the journal is a vehicle for the presentation of new research results. Second, it includes editorials on special topics written by leaders in the field. Third, the journal solicits essays covering current debates in the field, the state of research in relevant disciplines, and summaries of new research findings in a particular region, for example Beringia, the Eastern Seaboard or the Southern Cone of South America. Although the journal’s focus is the peopling of the Americas, editorials and research essays also highlight the investigation of early human colonization of empty lands in other areas of the world. As techniques are developing so rapidly, work in other regions can be very relevant to the Americas, so the journal will publish research relating to other regions which has relevance to research on the Americas.
