Abstract

We examined 2947 basalt and volcanic glass artifacts from 38 sites in leeward Kohala. Nondestructive energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence provided initial geochemical characterizations. Wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) and thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) analyses were completed on samples from ambiguously sourced groups. No more than 13.9% of the probable and definite adze-related debitage originated in leeward Kohala. Notably absent are lithic materials from the nearby Pololū Adze Quarry in windward Kohala. Material from the more distant Mauna Kea Adze Quarry accounts for 41.6% of the adze debitage. Another 38.8% of the adze debitage matches with a tholeiitic source or sources long assumed to be Kīlauea Volcano in Kaʻū, but WDXRF and TIMS isotopic data do not support a Kīlauea source. Centralized adze production and distribution networks best explain adze distribution. Scoria abraders appear to have been regularly transported from the Kona district to leeward Kohala. Volcanic glass sources loosely align with distance-decay trends, but show greater reliance on Puʻuwaʻawaʻa material by 1650 CE.

夏威夷夏威夷岛背风科哈拉的玄武岩和火山玻璃文物的来源、生产和分布

我们检查了来自Kohala背风区38个地点的2947件玄武岩和火山玻璃文物。非破坏性能量色散x射线荧光提供了初步的地球化学表征。波长色散x射线荧光(WDXRF)和热电离质谱(TIMS)分析完成了来自不明来源群体的样品。不超过13.9%的可能和确定的与adze有关的债务起源于背风的Kohala。值得注意的是，在向风的Kohala附近的pololi - Adze采石场没有发现石器材料。来自更远的莫纳克亚阿泽采石场的材料占阿泽矿的41.6%。另有38.8%的adze碎屑与一个拉斑岩源相匹配，或者长期以来被认为是Ka Ka - hi的k lauea火山，但WDXRF和TIMS同位素数据不支持k lauea火山。集中的棉花生产和分销网络最能解释棉花的分布。碎石机似乎经常从科纳地区运到下风的科哈拉。火山玻璃源与距离衰减趋势大致一致，但更依赖于1650年的普瓦瓦瓦瓦材料。

期刊介绍： Geoarchaeology is an interdisciplinary journal published six times per year (in January, March, May, July, September and November). It presents the results of original research at the methodological and theoretical interface between archaeology and the geosciences and includes within its scope: interdisciplinary work focusing on understanding archaeological sites, their environmental context, and particularly site formation processes and how the analysis of sedimentary records can enhance our understanding of human activity in Quaternary environments. Manuscripts should examine the interrelationship between archaeology and the various disciplines within Quaternary science and the Earth Sciences more generally, including, for example: geology, geography, geomorphology, pedology, climatology, oceanography, geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics. We also welcome papers that deal with the biological record of past human activity through the analysis of faunal and botanical remains and palaeoecological reconstructions that shed light on past human-environment interactions. The journal also welcomes manuscripts concerning the examination and geological context of human fossil remains as well as papers that employ analytical techniques to advance understanding of the composition and origin or material culture such as, for example, ceramics, metals, lithics, building stones, plasters, and cements. Such composition and provenance studies should be strongly grounded in their geological context through, for example, the systematic analysis of potential source materials.
