Abstract

ABSTRACT The use of rushes and bone awls for indigenous basketry is mentioned in ethnohistoric and ethnographic sources from across the Americas, including Tierra del Fuego. Our research aimed to reproduce and record the technical process of basketry and how bone awls are involved in it, according to hypotheses derived from the ethnographic data. For this study, a techno-functional approach was adopted that combines the ethnographic record, community-based research, experimentation, and microscopic functional analysis. The chaine opératoire was reproduced for basket making, from the technical processes involved in collecting and processing rushes to completion of the basket. Results confirmed the effectiveness of techniques described in the documentary sources for the manufacture of baskets of Marsippospermum grandiflorum, including the use of bone awls. Functional analysis demonstrated the formation of characteristic use-wear traces produced by this activity.

火地岛的骨锥与编织:民族志与实验的互补性

在包括火地岛在内的美洲各地的民族历史和民族志资料中都提到了在土著编织中使用灯芯草和骨锥。我们的研究旨在根据来自民族志数据的假设，重现和记录编织的技术过程以及骨锥如何参与其中。在本研究中，采用了一种结合民族志记录、社区研究、实验和微观功能分析的技术功能方法。从收集和加工灯芯草到完成花篮的技术过程，复制了篮子制作中的opsamatoire链。结果证实了文献资料中描述的制作大桔梗篮的技术的有效性，包括使用骨锥。功能分析表明，这一活动形成了典型的使用磨损痕迹。

期刊介绍： Ethnoarchaeology, a cross-cultural peer-reviewed journal, focuses on the present position, impact of, and future prospects of ethnoarchaeological and experimental studies approaches to anthropological research. The primary goal of this journal is to provide practitioners with an intellectual platform to showcase and appraise current research and theoretical and methodological directions for the 21st century. Although there has been an exponential increase in ethnoarchaeological and experimental research in the past thirty years, there is little that unifies or defines our subdiscipline. Ethnoarchaeology addresses this need, exploring what distinguishes ethnoarchaeological and experimental approaches, what methods connect practitioners, and what unique suite of research attributes we contribute to the better understanding of the human condition. In addition to research articles, the journal publishes book and other media reviews, periodic theme issues, and position statements by noted scholars.
