Abstract

Author(s): Sunseri, JU; Delage, C | Abstract: © 2016 MAA Open Access. Printed in Greece. All rights reserved. In the Natufian lithic component at Hayonim, both in the cave and the terrace, numerous artifacts of pink/red color may be recognized. Cherts with similar appearance are not present in the geological environment surrounding the site in Northern Israel. Pink chert available in Jordan is shown to be of different nature. Thus this leaves us with the hypothesis of intentional heat treatment of locally available iron-rich yellow chert, of Cenomanian age. Based on experimental replication of chert firing and SEM analysis, we argue that a well-mastered and controlled use of fire was practiced by some skilled craftsmen at Hayonim throughtout the Late Epipalaeolithic.

转变的颜色:对哈约尼姆高地(以色列)纳图夫文物的热处理研究

作者:Sunseri, JU;Delage, C |摘要:©2016 MAA Open Access。在希腊印刷。版权所有。在Hayonim的纳图夫石器组成部分，无论是在洞穴还是在阶地中，都可以识别出许多粉红色/红色的文物。在以色列北部遗址周围的地质环境中不存在类似外观的燧石。在约旦可用的粉红色燧石显示出不同的性质。因此，这给我们留下了一个假设，即对当地可获得的富含铁的黄燧石进行有意热处理。基于燧石烧制的实验复制和扫描电镜分析，我们认为，在整个上新石器时代晚期，Hayonim的一些熟练工匠已经熟练掌握和控制了火的使用。
