摘要
Tel Tsaf 的装饰图案闻名于世已有 45 年之久,最早是在 R. Gophna 于 1978-1980 年对以色列约旦河谷的中旧石器时代(约公元前 5200-4700 年)Tel Tsaf 进行发掘后描述的。虽然在该地区的其他遗址也发现了这种装饰陶器,但公布的数据非常有限。数据的匮乏导致对这一现象的看法支离破碎,因此,许多学者将特尔察夫的装饰图案视为一种单一现象。本文集中分析了 2013 年至 2022 年期间在同名遗址出土的 682 件带有 Tel Tsaf 装饰的碎片。我们进行了详细的属性分析,包括对装饰器皿和装饰剧目本身的风格、形态和语境研究。通过这些分析,我们探讨了 Tel Tsaf 装饰风格的内部变异性,强调了这一现象在南黎凡特中旧石器时代文化景观中的地方起源和复杂性。
The Tel Tsaf decoration: Contextualizing a Chalcolithic pottery phenomenon on a regional scale
The Tel Tsaf decoration motifs have been known for over 45 years now, first described after R. Gophna's excavations at Middle Chalcolithic (ca. 5200–4700 cal BCE) Tel Tsaf in the Jordan Valley, Israel, during 1978–1980. While this type of decorated pottery was also found in other sites in the region, very limited data has been published. This data scarcity resulted in a fragmentary view of the phenomenon and consequently, the Tel Tsaf decoration motifs were regarded by many scholars as a monolithic phenomenon. The current paper represents a focused effort to analyze an assemblage of 682 sherds bearing the Tel Tsaf decoration, unearthed at the eponymous site between 2013 and 2022. We conduct a detailed attribute analysis that includes stylistic, morphometric, and contextual studies of the decorated vessels and the decoration repertoire itself. Through the analyses, we address internal variability of Tel Tsaf decoration style, emphasizing the local origin and complexity of the phenomenon in the cultural landscape of the Middle Chalcolithic in the southern Levant.
期刊介绍:
Archaeological Research in Asia presents high quality scholarly research conducted in between the Bosporus and the Pacific on a broad range of archaeological subjects of importance to audiences across Asia and around the world. The journal covers the traditional components of archaeology: placing events and patterns in time and space; analysis of past lifeways; and explanations for cultural processes and change. To this end, the publication will highlight theoretical and methodological advances in studying the past, present new data, and detail patterns that reshape our understanding of it. Archaeological Research in Asia publishes work on the full temporal range of archaeological inquiry from the earliest human presence in Asia with a special emphasis on time periods under-represented in other venues. Journal contributions are of three kinds: articles, case reports and short communications. Full length articles should present synthetic treatments, novel analyses, or theoretical approaches to unresolved issues. Case reports present basic data on subjects that are of broad interest because they represent key sites, sequences, and subjects that figure prominently, or should figure prominently, in how scholars both inside and outside Asia understand the archaeology of cultural and biological change through time. Short communications present new findings (e.g., radiocarbon dates) that are important to the extent that they reaffirm or change the way scholars in Asia and around the world think about Asian cultural or biological history.
