Abstract

How did people come to ‘think Neolithic’? While there has been considerable progress in reconstructing the environmental, economic, technological and social changes associated with the transition from mobile hunter-gathering to sedentary farming and herding communities, we remain limited in our understanding of how Neolithic culture in its most profound sense arose. I suggest that the formation of new words required for that new lifestyle was as much a driver as a consequence of the Neolithic transition, illustrating this with a sample of Neolithic innovations from the southern Levant that appears likely to have required new words. Such words, I argue, helped to establish new concepts in the mind, shaped thought, influenced perception and ultimately the human deeds in the world that left an archaeological trace.
在言行上成为新石器时代
人们是如何“思考新石器时代”的?尽管在重建环境、经济、技术和社会变化方面取得了相当大的进展,这些变化与从流动的猎人聚集到定居的农业和畜牧社区的转变有关,但我们对新石器时代文化最深刻意义上的产生方式的理解仍然有限。我认为,新生活方式所需新词的形成与新石器时代转型的结果一样是一个驱动因素,通过南黎凡特的新石器时代创新样本来说明这一点,这些样本似乎需要新词。我认为,这些话有助于在头脑中建立新的概念,塑造思想,影响感知,并最终影响世界上留下考古痕迹的人类行为。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Social Archaeology is a fully peer reviewed international journal that promotes interdisciplinary research focused on social approaches in archaeology, opening up new debates and areas of exploration. It engages with and contributes to theoretical developments from other related disciplines such as feminism, queer theory, postcolonialism, social geography, literary theory, politics, anthropology, cognitive studies and behavioural science. It is explicitly global in outlook with temporal parameters from prehistory to recent periods. As well as promoting innovative social interpretations of the past, it also encourages an exploration of contemporary politics and heritage issues.
