摘要
在旧石器时代遗址中,经常对石器和骨骼遗骸进行空间分析,以检测活动区域和埋藏过程。然而,尽管它适合于揭示它们的形成过程,但它通常并未应用于考古植物组合。木材-木炭和种子组合的分类方法对于获得生态、文化和经济信息至关重要。在Cova de les Cendres (Teulada-Moraira, Alicante, Spain)的上马格达莱世水平,记录了一系列叠加的燃烧结构。在这一层次上,考古遗迹丰富多样,而这些壁炉的保存使我们能够评估它们与这些安排了这部分洞穴人类活动的人类结构的分布。在非木质的考古植物组合中占主导地位的物种有黑石树(Alkanna tinctoria)、Buglossoides arvensis、松树(Pinus sp.)、杜松(Juniperus sp.)或不同的豆科植物。植物遗迹的总体分布突出了它们与人类活动的联系。一些沉积后的变化被发现,主要是由于践踏和人类对该地区的反复占领,尽管一些集中表明存在保存较好的空间,并说明了特定的沉积事件,如单一燃烧事件的沉积物。最后,遗骸的空间分布允许我们深入了解植物作为食物、燃料和原材料的来源。
This must be the place. Spatial analysis of the Upper Magdalenian seed assemblage of Cova de les Cendres (Alicante, Spain)
The spatial analysis of lithic and bone remains has been frequently conducted in Palaeolithic sites to detect activity areas and taphonomic processes. However, it has not been usually applied to archaeobotanical assemblages despite its suitability to shed light on their formation processes. A taphonomic approach to wood-charcoal and seed assemblages is essential to obtain ecological, cultural and economic information.
In the Upper Magdalenian level of Cova de les Cendres (Teulada-Moraira, Alicante, Spain), a series of superimposed combustion structures were documented. At this level, carpological remains are abundant and diverse, and the preservation of the hearths allows us to assess their distribution in relation to these anthropic structures which arranged the human activity in this part of the cave. Species such as Alkanna tinctoria, Buglossoides arvensis, Pinus sp., Juniperus spp. or different legumes dominate the non-woody archaeobotanical assemblage. The general distribution of the plant remains highlights their link to anthropic activities. Some post-depositional alterations were detected, mainly due to trampling and the repeated human occupation of the area, although some concentrations point to the existence of better-preserved spaces and illustrate specific deposition events, such as deposits from single burning events. Finally, the spatial distribution of the remains allows for gaining insights into the use of plants as sources of food, fuel and raw material.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports is aimed at archaeologists and scientists engaged with the application of scientific techniques and methodologies to all areas of archaeology. The journal focuses on the results of the application of scientific methods to archaeological problems and debates. It will provide a forum for reviews and scientific debate of issues in scientific archaeology and their impact in the wider subject. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports will publish papers of excellent archaeological science, with regional or wider interest. This will include case studies, reviews and short papers where an established scientific technique sheds light on archaeological questions and debates.
