摘要

本文介绍了对位于塞内加尔北部中塞内加尔河谷西部边缘的迪亚洛瓦利石器时代晚期遗址的考古研究成果。该遗址的占地时间跨度为公元前 3100-2400 年,与西非其他遗址同时代的遗址很少,因此是一个独特而详细的档案。2014-2017 年期间进行的发掘揭示了深层和密集的沉积,出土了 5000 多公斤陶器和 169 公斤动物材料--这是西非所有遗址中最大的动物组合。因此,本研究的重点是动物考古学数据及其对该遗址的环境条件变化、生存方式和社会制度的影响。动物组合反映了对野生动物的开发利用,包括一系列牛科动物、麂科动物、食肉动物、啮齿动物、河马、鸟类和各种水生资源--代表了非洲湿润期末期的当地情况。有趣的是,家畜以及金牛雕像和陶瓷 "臂带 "在整个考古活动中的持续存在,证明了这一考古活动与撒哈拉农牧社区有关,可能是为了躲避全新世晚期的干旱化。因此,在保持对狩猎、捕鱼和采集野生植物高度依赖的同时,饲养少量的牛羊和羱羊/羯羊很可能是一种风险缓冲策略,以应对不可预测的环境时期。

Socio-environmental implications of shifting subsistence practices at Diallowali, a Late Stone Age site system in the Middle Senegal Valley

In this paper we present the results of archaeological research at the Late Stone Age site of Diallowali, located along the western edge of the Middle Senegal Valley, northern Senegal. As the occupation spans the period between 3100-2400 years BP, it is contemporary with few other West African sites, and therefore represents a unique – and uniquely detailed – archive. Excavations conducted between 2014–2017 revealed deeply stratified and dense deposits, yielding more than 5,000 kg of pottery and 169 kg of faunal material – the largest faunal assemblage of any site in West Africa. Thus, the present study focuses on the zooarchaeological data and their implications for shifting environmental conditions, subsistence practices, and social institutions at the site. The faunal assemblage reflects the exploitation of a remarkable diversity of wild animals, including a range of bovids, suids, carnivores, rodents, hippopotami, birds, and various aquatic resources – representing local conditions at the end of the African Humid Period. Interestingly, the consistent presence of domestic livestock, as well as Bos taurus figurines and ceramic ‘arm-bands’ throughout the occupation support a connection to Saharan agro-pastoral communities possibly escaping the Late Holocene aridification. Therefore, the keeping of low numbers of Bos taurus and Ovis/Capra, while maintaining a high reliance on hunting, fishing, and gathering wild plants, likely functioned as a risk-buffering strategy to manage against environmentally unpredictable periods.
