摘要

鸟类在古代波利尼西亚文化中扮演着重要角色。鸟类因其骨骼、色彩斑斓的羽毛、脂肪和蛋白质而受到珍视;波利尼西亚人的口述历史进一步强调了鸟类的文化重要性。本研究通过考古学、口述历史、人种史记录和博物馆藏品,调查了马克萨斯群岛人鸟互动的动态变化。我分析了各种数据集所代表的鸟类分类群及其文化用途。结果表明,虽然有些物种在一个或多个数据集中都有体现,但要全面了解物种的文化作用和用途,需要不止一个分析线索,尤其是那些考古特征有限或没有考古特征的类群。本研究发现了两种有管理的资源利用形式。一种是 "禁止使用"(tapu),第二种是保守地将鸟类作为一种资源,如限制羽毛采集。以博物馆藏品和历史记载为代表的红色羽毛突显了多个类群被用于特定装饰类型的情况。通过综合分析,我们可以深入了解物种的消失和存续情况,以及马克萨斯文化管理的方方面面。

Weaving feathers of intangible and tangible knowledge: Historical records and human-bird interactions in the Marquesas Islands

Weaving feathers of intangible and tangible knowledge: Historical records and human-bird interactions in the Marquesas Islands

Birds fulfilled an essential role in ancient Polynesian cultures. They were prized for their bones and colourful feathers, fat, and protein; their cultural importance is further highlighted in Polynesian oral histories. This research investigates the dynamics of human-bird interactions over time in the Marquesas Archipelago as known from archaeology, oral histories, ethnohistorical records, and museum collections. I analyse the range of avian taxa represented across the various datasets and their cultural uses. The results demonstrate that while some species are represented across one or more datasets, understanding the full extent of species’ cultural roles and use requires more than one thread of analysis, particularly for those taxa with limited or no archaeological signature. Two forms of managed resource use emerge from this study. One is tapu (prohibition of use), and the second is the conservative use of birds as a resource such as restricted feather collecting. Red feathers, represented in museum objects and historical accounts, highlight multiple taxa being used for specific adornment types. The combined analyses provide insights into the loss and persistence of species, as well as aspects of Marquesan cultural management.

期刊介绍: Archaeology in Oceania is published online and in print versions three times a year: April, July, October. It accepts articles and research reports in prehistoric and historical archaeology, modern material culture and human biology of ancient and modern human populations. Its primary geographic focus is Australia, the islands of the Pacific Ocean and lands of the western Pacific rim. All articles and research reports accepted as being within the remit of the journal and of appropriate standard will be reviewed by two scholars; authors will be informed of these comments though not necessarily of the reviewer’s names.
