摘要

植物岩分析是一种成熟的考古植物学工具,为研究全新世亚马逊地区前哥伦布时期的作物种植和驯化提供了重要的见解。然而,它作为一种古生态工具在亚马逊地区的使用还处于起步阶段,而且它在重建哥伦布发现前的考古遗址(即“非遗址”)以外的土地利用方面的有效性到目前为止还没有受到多少批评。本文研究了来自西南亚马逊地区的新的和以前发表的土壤植物岩数据,以评估这一替代指标在重建前哥伦布时期土地利用方面的稳健性。我们通过在巴西阿克里州的一个地理图形外辐射7.5公里的非现场土壤坑和在玻利维亚北部的一个环形沟渠外辐射50公里的土壤坑进行了研究,跨越了历史上土地利用强度的预期梯度。我们发现,在我们的土壤坑样带中,棕榈植物岩数据的时空模式支持了一种假设,即前哥伦布时代的人们在几千年的时间里用棕榈树丰富了他们的森林,尽管植物岩在捕捉小规模作物种植和森林砍伐方面的能力有限。尽管存在这些缺陷,但我们得出结论,如果将非现场土壤植物岩分析与其他土地利用(如木炭)和考古数据有效结合起来,可以为前哥伦布时期的土地利用提供新的见解。

An Assessment of Soil Phytolith Analysis as a Palaeoecological Tool for Identifying Pre-Columbian Land Use in Amazonian Rainforests
Phytolith analysis is a well-established archaeobotanical tool, having provided important insights into pre-Columbian crop cultivation and domestication across Amazonia through the Holocene. Yet, its use as a palaeoecological tool is in its infancy in Amazonia and its effectiveness for reconstructing pre-Columbian land-use beyond archaeological sites (i.e., ‘off-site’) has so far received little critical attention. This paper examines both new and previously published soil phytolith data from SW Amazonia to assess the robustness of this proxy for reconstructing pre-Columbian land-use. We conducted the study via off-site soil pits radiating 7.5 km beyond a geoglyph in Acre state, Brazil, and 50 km beyond a ring-ditch in northern Bolivia, spanning the expected gradients in historical land-use intensity. We found that the spatio-temporal patterns in palm phytolith data across our soil-pit transects support the hypothesis that pre-Columbian peoples enriched their forests with palms over several millennia, although phytoliths are limited in their ability to capture small-scale crop cultivation and deforestation. Despite these drawbacks, we conclude that off-site soil phytolith analysis can provide novel insights into pre-Columbian land use, provided it is effectively integrated with other land-use (e.g., charcoal) and archaeological data.
