Abstract

Salvage excavations in the 1970s uncovered a sizeable commoner occupation at Great Zimbabwe, as well as evidence for the early construction of an elite stonewalled enclosure. As a result of these excavations, we can revise somewhat the chronology of Great Zimbabwe. The most important changes are the extension of Period IVa, lasting from AD 1285±10 to 1395±10, and the appearance of P, P/Q and Q-coursed walling in Period IVa. The small Nemanwa palace was built in P/Q and first dates to Period IVa, as does the Outer Perimeter Wall, and both were linked to the growth of the Zimbabwe state. Period IVb represents the floruit of Great Zimbabwe, while Period IVc encompasses the occupation after the political elite moved north to become the well-known Mutapa dynasty. After the move north, the Mutapa established a masungiro ritual centre at Great Zimbabwe, perhaps to maintain territorial rights in the face of Torwa expansion.

AMS日期与大津巴布韦年表

20世纪70年代的打捞发掘发现了大津巴布韦一个相当大的平民占领区，以及早期建造精英石墙围栏的证据。由于这些发掘，我们可以在一定程度上修改大津巴布韦的年表。最重要的变化是IVa期的延长，从公元1285±10持续到1395±10，并且在IVa期出现了P、P/Q和Q层墙。尼曼瓦小宫殿建于P/Q，最早可追溯到IVa时期，外围墙也是如此，两者都与津巴布韦国家的发展有关。IVb时期代表了大津巴布韦的花朵，而IVc时期则涵盖了政治精英北上成为著名的穆塔帕王朝后的占领。向北迁移后，穆塔帕人在大津巴布韦建立了一个马松吉罗仪式中心，也许是为了在托尔瓦扩张时维护领土权利。

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.
