摘要

在这篇论文中，我讨论了档案研究（即重新评估图片和图纸）在识别迄今为止被忽视的化石足迹方面的潜力。Melka Kunture更新世序列中所有最重要的遗址（埃塞俄比亚上阿瓦什河谷）都显示了生物结构的证据，这些生物结构在20世纪60年代开始的考古调查中没有引起注意。这里描述的案例研究表明，Melka Kunture的化石足迹出现的频率比预期的要高。这可以鼓励考古学家更多地意识到在其他考古环境中可能存在的生物扰动层，并以Melka Kunture为参考，相应地计划具体的研究。

Finding Fossil Footprints in the Archival Record: Case Studies from the Archaeological Site of Melka Kunture (Upper Awash, Ethiopia)

In this paper I discuss the potential of archival research (i.e. the reassessment of pictures and drawings) for the identification of hitherto overlooked fossil footprints. All of the most important sites of the Pleistocene sequence of Melka Kunture (Upper Awash Valley, Ethiopia) showed evidence of biogenic structures that had escaped attention during the archaeological investigations which started in the 1960s. The case studies described here show that fossil footprints at Melka Kunture occur more frequently than expected. This could encourage archaeologists to be more aware of the possible presence of bioturbated layers in other archaeological contexts and plan specific research accordingly, using Melka Kunture as a reference.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
