Abstract

ABSTRACT Holocene foragers in southern Africa were mobile, stone-tool-using, hunting and gathering communities that lived in rock shelters and in the open in temporary campsites. From the early 1st millennium a.d., farmer groups migrated into southern Africa and introduced domesticated crops, livestock, and metal technology into the region and lived in fixed homesteads. Differences in the material culture and residential habits of these two communities are distinct and largely differentiable. As such, studying their interactions is possible through the analysis of material culture and its context. Here, we present the findings from Euphorbia Kop in the middle Limpopo Valley of central southern Africa that contains several strands of evidence indicating a forager presence within a farmer settlement identified by several distinct cultural markers. Our findings demonstrate a response to contact not well recorded in the region that offers a possible explanation for the decline and eventual disappearance of forager remains in rock-shelter contexts beginning in the early 2nd millennium a.d.
大戟Kop的社会景观:在南部非洲有Forager的K2农民定居点
摘要:非洲南部全新世的觅食者是流动的、使用石器的、狩猎和采集的社区,他们生活在岩石避难所和临时营地的空地上。从公元1千年早期开始,农民群体迁移到南部非洲,将驯化的作物、牲畜和金属技术引入该地区,并居住在固定的家园中。这两个社区在物质文化和居住习惯方面的差异是明显的,并且在很大程度上是可以区分的。因此,通过对物质文化及其语境的分析来研究它们的互动是可能的。在这里,我们展示了南部非洲中部林波波河谷中部的大戟Kop的发现,其中包含了几条证据,表明在几个不同的文化标记确定的农民定居点内有觅食者的存在。我们的研究结果表明,该地区对接触的反应没有得到很好的记录,这为公元两千年初开始的岩石避难所中觅食者遗骸的减少和最终消失提供了可能的解释。
