摘要
伊朗中部高原干旱至半干旱地区的早期人类居住与水源以及相关自然灾害(如洪水和干旱事件)密切相关。在这项地质考古学研究中,我们重点考察了瓦拉明平原以前活跃的河流环境中的史前遗址 Ajor Pazi 的居住情况。通过放射性碳和发光计时沉积物横断面,我们对 2018 年抢救性发掘期间采集的大量样本的沉积物特征进行了多元统计。根据面相解释,我们区分了沉积过程,并提出了其对阿乔尔帕齐周边地区的影响。我们的研究结果表明,公元前 6.4 ka 至 5.6 ka(公元前 4.4 ka 至 3.6 ka)年间存在定居活动。在土壤形成过程中,可以区分出地貌动力减弱的阶段。我们的研究结果为迄今为止鲜有探索的过渡时期 -- 过渡时期的 Chalcolithic II 提供了见解,在这一时期,Ajor Pazi 遗址出现并开始塑造其周边环境。
Linking archaeology and paleoenvironment: Mid-Holocene occupational sequences in the Varamin Plain (Iran)
Early human habitation of the arid to semiarid Central Iranian Plateau was strongly connected to the availability of water and associated natural hazards, such as flooding and drought events. In this geoarchaeological study, we focus on the occupation at the prehistoric site of Ajor Pazi within the formerly active fluvial environment of the Varamin Plain. Through radiocarbon and luminescence-dated sediment cross-sections, we apply multivariate statistics to sedimentological characteristics of bulk samples collected during a rescue excavation in 2018. Based on facies interpretations, we differentiate depositional processes and present their implications for the environs of Ajor Pazi. Our results show evidence of settlement activities between 6.4 and 5.6 ka cal B.P. (4.4–3.6 ka cal. B.C.E.). Phases of reduced geomorphodynamics can be distinguished when soil-forming processes take place. Our findings provide insights into the hitherto scarcely explored Transitional Chalcolithic II period during which the site of Ajor Pazi emerged and began to shape its environs.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
