摘要

最近的研究表明，南高加索地区的新石器时代是分阶段发生的。虽然驯化的动植物在公元前6000年左右被迅速引入，但新石器时代的某些典型文化元素可能在后来变得普遍。这项研究报告了在阿塞拜疆Damjili洞穴中发现的一个石人雕像，这是在南高加索中石器时代晚期放射性碳年代背景下发现的第一个例子。它的风格特征与该地区新石器时代的人类雕像有很大不同，为理解南高加索中石器时代-新石器时代界面的象征性文化过程提供了有价值的参考点。

Human figurines in the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition of the South Caucasus: New evidence from the Damjili cave, Azerbaijan

Recent research shows that the Neolithization of the South Caucasus occurred in stages. While domesticated plants and animals were introduced rapidly around 6000 BCE, certain cultural elements typical of the Neolithic might have become common later. This study reports the discovery of a stone human figurine from the Damjili Cave, Azerbaijan, which is the first example from a radiocarbon-dated context of the late Mesolithic in the South Caucasus. Its stylistic features considerably differ from those of Neolithic human figurines in the region, providing a valuable reference point for understanding the cultural processes in symbolic aspects during the Mesolithic-Neolithic interface in the South Caucasus.

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.
