Abstract

Smith et al. (1991) proposed a model to distinguish the archaeological sites of Khoekhoe pastoralists from those of San. This model was based on information gathered from sites scattered over hundreds of square kilometres and several millennia. Between 1999 and 2002 we re-examined Smith et al. s (1991) model by excavating six neighbouring contemporary sites on the hill Kasteelberg. In a previous survey, three of these sites had been provisionally identified as pastoralist sites and three as forager sites. Here we present a brief comparison of the materials from these six sites. Although there are clear differences between the two sets of sites, the hypothesis that one set represents Khoekhoe herders and the other Bushman hunter-gatherers is not supported. Rather, one set of sites seems to represent a more mobile, herder-forager adaptation with a preference for inland resources while the other set appears to represent a more sedentary herder-forager adaptation with emphasis on shoreline resources. It remains to be determined how the occupants of the two sets of sites related to each other

卡斯蒂尔堡的牧民和采集者:1999-2002年发掘中期报告

Smith等人(1991)提出了一个模型来区分Khoekhoe牧民和San牧民的考古遗址。这个模型是基于从分散在数百平方公里和数千年的地点收集的信息。1999年至2002年间，我们通过在Kasteelberg山上挖掘六个相邻的当代遗址，重新检验了Smith等人(1991)的模型。在先前的一次调查中，其中三个地点被暂时确定为放牧地点，三个地点被确定为觅食地点。在这里，我们对这六个地点的材料作一个简短的比较。尽管两组遗址之间存在明显差异，但一组代表Khoekhoe牧民，另一组代表Bushman狩猎采集者的假设是不支持的。更确切地说，一组地点似乎代表了一种更灵活的、偏爱内陆资源的牧人-觅食者适应，而另一组地点似乎代表了一种更久坐的、强调海岸线资源的牧人-觅食者适应。这两组地点的居住者彼此之间的关系还有待确定
