摘要

在中部非洲中石器时代(MSA)的石器类型学中,经常会发现一种标志性的器物。这些工具是通过塑形获得的,其特点是有两个平行或近似平行的边缘,许多作者将其命名为 "核心斧"(core-axes),这一名称通过人种学的平行过程指代斧和锛的类型,但没有明确证明这种解释是可能的。这些芯轴被认为是中非澳门金沙线上领彩金网两个地层--桑戈安和卢彭班的标志,但其石器组合大多仍缺乏背景资料和/或不完整。这些核斧特别有意思,因为它们提出了一些关于中石器时代(非洲智人出现和发展的关键时期)出现的斧柄、适应雨林环境、木工和挖掘的假说。然而,核斧在生产、技术功能和形态方面的定义还很模糊。为了弥补这一缺陷,我们选择了 Nzako Ambilo 和 Nzako Kono 这两个中非遗址的核斧。这些藏品保存在巴黎人类古生物学研究所(Institut de Paléontologie Humaine)。通过对产品和技术功能的研究,对这些岩心轴的修订将使我们能够观察到器物组合内部技术变异的显著差异。这种变化表明,这些工具的复杂程度远远超出了史前研究人员最初的设想。这种方法将使我们对这些具有中部非洲石器时代典型特征、边缘平行的异形工具的使用和握持可能性有新的认识。

Le core-axe, un outil tropical à redéfinir : nouvelles données des collections Middle Stone Age de Nzako, République centrafricaine

In the lithic typology of the Middle Stone Age (MSA) of Central Africa, an emblematic piece is often found within the assemblages. These are tools obtained by shaping and characterized by the presence of two parallel to subparallel edges that have been named by many authors by the term of core-axes, a denomination that refers, by the process of ethnographic parallelism, to the axe and adze types, without having clearly proven that such an interpretation is possible. These core-axes are considered to be hallmarks of the Sangoan and Lupemban, two facies of the Central African MSA, but whose lithic assemblages remain mostly poorly contextualized and/or incomplete. These core-axes are particularly interesting because they have led to several hypotheses on the emergence of hafting, adaptation to rainforest environments, woodworking and digging during the Middle Stone Age, a key period for the emergence and development of Homo sapiens in Africa. Nevertheless, core-axes are still poorly defined in terms of production, techno-function and morphometry. To remedy this, we chose the core-axes of Nzako Ambilo and Nzako Kono, two Central African sites. These collections are kept at the Institut de Paléontologie Humaine in Paris. Through a productional and techno-functional study, the revision of these core-axes will allow us to observe a significant variability of the intra-assemblage technical variability. This variability suggests that these tools are much complex than initially suggested by prehistorians. This approach will lead us to new ideas on the use and hafting possibilities of these shaped tools characterized by parallel edges and which are typical of the Stone Age of Central Africa.
