Abstract

This paper presents a comparative, diachronic study of the faunal assemblages recovered from two key political, cultural and commercial centres in the medieval Polish-Prussian borderlands: Kaldus in the Kulmerland, and Gdansk in Pomerania. Both centres were situated in a region which was incorporated into the Teutonic Order’s state following the Crusades against the Prussian tribes in the 13th century. Although comparative trends are noticeable between the two centres which can be linked to the development of the Polish (Piast) state, the variation reflects specific local ecological and cultural contexts. Due to the constraints of space, this study focuses on the relative representation of different species of mammals, birds and fish, demonstrating how diachronic trends can be linked to the marked historical phases associated with the cultural and environmental transformation of this frontier, from one dominated by the Piast state to the later Teutonic Order’s polity. Key words: zooarchaeology, Kaldus, Gdansk, Polish state, Teutonic Order, environment, mammals, birds, fish. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.15181/ab.v20i0.810

中世纪波兰/普鲁士边境动物剥削特征与环境:个案研究

本文对中世纪波兰-普鲁士边境地区两个重要的政治、文化和商业中心(Kulmerland的Kaldus和波美拉尼亚的格但斯克)恢复的动物群落进行了比较、历时研究。这两个中心都位于13世纪十字军东征普鲁士部落后并入条顿骑士团国家的地区。虽然两个中心之间的比较趋势可以与波兰(Piast)州的发展联系起来，但这种差异反映了特定的当地生态和文化背景。由于空间的限制，本研究侧重于不同种类的哺乳动物、鸟类和鱼类的相对代表性，以展示历时趋势如何与这一边境地区文化和环境转型相关的显著历史阶段联系起来，从一个由皮亚斯特国家主导到后来的条顿骑士团的政体。关键词:动物考古，卡尔都斯，格但斯克，波兰，条顿骑士团，环境，哺乳动物，鸟类，鱼类DOI: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.15181/ab.v20i0.810
