摘要

在南部非洲,硅质混凝土的热处理在约 164 ka 年前就有记载,被认为是一项重要的技术革新,使石匠能够改善岩石的剥落特性,以生产石坯。以前的研究探讨了热处理过程中硅质混凝土的结构、机械和地球化学变化,但大多数研究没有探讨这些变化对所生产的坯料的影响。研究热处理对坯料生产影响的实验往往依赖于复制性燧石剥制,在这种情况下,坯料剥制方式的微小变化就会产生 "噪音"。在这项研究中,我们使用剥片机提供了量化数据,以了解硅混凝土源和加热温度对坯料生产的影响,从而分离出热处理对坯料形态的影响。我们的研究结果表明,热处理会导致坯料的绝对尺寸和突然终止的频率发生变化。然而,热处理的益处可能只出现在有限的温度范围内,而且在很大程度上取决于来源。这表明我们应该重新考虑热处理在石器技术中的作用及其假定的益处,并更多地关注硅质源和基于源的对坯料生产的影响。

Quantifying the effect of heating temperature on silcrete blank production

In southern Africa, heat treatment of silcrete is documented by ~ 164 ka and is considered an important technological innovation, allowing knappers to improve the flaking properties of rocks for lithic blank production. Previous research has explored structural, mechanical, and geochemical changes in silcrete during heat treatment, but most studies have not explored the implications of those transformations for the blanks produced. Experiments that have examined the effects of heat treatment on blank production tend to rely on replicative flintknapping, where small changes in the way a blank is removed can create “noise.” In this study, we provide quantitative data to understand the effects of silcrete source and heating temperature on blank production using a flaking machine to isolate the effects of heat treatment on blank morphology. Our results show changes in absolute blank dimensions, and in the frequency of abrupt terminations as a result of heat treatment. However, the benefits of heat treatment may only occur within a limited temperature range and are heavily source dependent. This suggests that we should reconsider broad generalizations about the role of heat treatment in lithic technology and its supposed benefits and focus more on silcrete source and source-based effects on blank production.

期刊介绍: Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences covers the full spectrum of natural scientific methods with an emphasis on the archaeological contexts and the questions being studied. It bridges the gap between archaeologists and natural scientists providing a forum to encourage the continued integration of scientific methodologies in archaeological research. Coverage in the journal includes: archaeology, geology/geophysical prospection, geoarchaeology, geochronology, palaeoanthropology, archaeozoology and archaeobotany, genetics and other biomolecules, material analysis and conservation science. The journal is endorsed by the German Society of Natural Scientific Archaeology and Archaeometry (GNAA), the Hellenic Society for Archaeometry (HSC), the Association of Italian Archaeometrists (AIAr) and the Society of Archaeological Sciences (SAS).
