摘要
对考古贝类遗骸进行稳定氧同位素(δ18O)分析并结合clerochronology,可用于精确重建过去的海面温度(pSST)、贝类采集季节,进而重建考古遗址的占用季节。我们的研究测试了对海洋双壳贝类 Leukoma staminea 的 δ18Oshell 和clerochronological 分析(以前未评估过季节性和 pSST 潜力)是否能提供不列颠哥伦比亚省(加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省)的 Saxidmous gigantea 等研究得较好的贝类所无法提供的更多信息。我们分析了从不列颠哥伦比亚省塞切特(Sechelt)现场采集的 L. staminea 和 S. gigantea 贝壳,并将结果与不列颠哥伦比亚省鲍威尔河(Tla'amin First Nation,公元前 1065 至 797 年)的考古贝壳数据进行了比较。不同物种收获贝类的季节性不同,S. gigantea 贝类偏好在春季采集,而 L. staminea 贝类则全年采集。这突出表明,单一物种的季节性研究可能会忽略捕捞策略的重要变化。此外,通过比较仪器数据(5.7-20.4 °C)和现代 L. staminea δ18Oshell(5.6-18.4 °C)重建的 SST,结果表明两者的年变化范围非常一致。我们的研究结果表明,与考古学上的 L. staminea(5.8 至 25.9 °C)相比,考古学上的 S. gigantea 记录的 pSST 范围更广(-1.6 至 22.9 °C),这表明 S. gigantea 可能是一种更灵敏的古温度记录器。此外,我们还发现,在重建 pSST 时,对两个物种使用相同的重建δ18O 水值会导致温度的高估。因此,我们认为,无论两个物种是否都具有文石矿物结构,都必须用相应物种的δ18Oshell值来校准方程。我们的研究强调了L. staminea在扩大季节性解释方面的潜力,同时也澄清了将其用于pSST重建可能无法捕捉到较低的温度范围。
A dual bivalve approach for interpreting past sea surface temperatures and seasonality from shell midden sites using oxygen isotope sclerochronology
Stable oxygen isotope (δ18O) analysis of archaeological shellfish remains combined with sclerochronology can be used to precisely reconstruct past sea surface temperature (pSST), season(s) of shellfish collection, and thus the season(s) of archaeological site occupation. Our study tests if δ18Oshell and sclerochronological analyses of marine bivalve species Leukoma staminea – with previously unassessed seasonality and pSST potential – can provide additional insights not captured by the better studied species, Saxidmous gigantea in British Columbia (BC, Canada). We analyzed live-collected L. staminea and S. gigantea shells from Sechelt, BC, and compared results to archaeological shell data from Powell River, BC, in the territory of the Tla'amin First Nation (1065 to 797 cal. B.P.). The seasonality of shellfish harvest differed between species, with S. gigantea preferentially collected in the spring, whereas L. staminea collected year-round. This highlights that sole-species seasonality studies may miss important variability in harvesting strategies. Additionally, comparisons between instrumental (5.7 to 20.4 °C) and reconstructed SST from modern L. staminea δ18Oshell (5.6 to 18.4 °C) showed good agreement in annual range. Our results indicate that archaeological S. gigantea record a wider range of pSST (−1.6 to 22.9 °C) than archaeological L. staminea (5.8 to 25.9 °C), suggesting that S. gigantea may be a more sensitive palaeotemperature recorder. Further, we found that using the same reconstructed δ18Owater value for both species in pSST reconstruction caused an overestimation of temperature. Accordingly, we argue that it is critical to calibrate the equation with corresponding species-specific δ18Oshell values, regardless of both having aragonite mineral structures. Our study highlights the potential of L. staminea to broaden seasonality interpretations while clarifying that its use for pSST reconstruction may not capture the lower range of temperature.
