Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the multi-disciplinary sampling strategy that has been applied at the archaeological site of La Draga during the last three fieldwork campaigns (2010–2012). A preliminary evaluation of the results is presented in order to discuss the efficiency of the strategy in answering the outlined scientific questions. The strategies applied for faunal remains (one hundred per cent recovery), wood remains (selective sampling) and charcoal remains (random sampling of twenty-five fragments per square) proved to be successful. The anticipated levels for ichthyofauna, entomofauna and non-ligneous plant macroremains were not attained using this sampling strategy. Some explanations for this are proposed (e.g. high degree of erosion of the archaeological layer). Further guidelines for future work are established. This strategy could be applied to other Mediterranean wetland sites.

系统采样策略在La Draga (Banyoles, Spain)新石器时代早期湖岸遗址生物考古研究中的应用

摘要本文介绍了在拉德拉加考古遗址最近三次(2010-2012年)的田野调查中所采用的多学科抽样策略。为了讨论该策略在回答概述的科学问题方面的效率，提出了对结果的初步评价。应用于动物遗骸(100%恢复)、木材遗骸(选择性取样)和木炭遗骸(每平方25块随机取样)的策略证明是成功的。采用这种取样策略，鱼类动物、昆虫动物和非木质植物大型遗骸的预期数量未达到。对此提出了一些解释(例如，考古层的高度侵蚀)。为今后的工作制定了进一步的准则。这一策略可以应用于其他地中海湿地。
