摘要

自1788年永久殖民入侵以来,澳大利亚各地的土著群体为各种任务引入了材料。然而,关于土著居民使用瓶子玻璃和陶瓷薄片的情况,人们所知相对较少,因为只有两篇关于瓶子玻璃的使用磨损分析论文发表,而没有一篇关于陶瓷的。在新南威尔士州前斯科菲尔德机场历史遗址的挖掘工作中,发现了这两种材料的薄片以及引入的燧石。我们利用实际实验来解释279个考古标本的使用磨损。结果表明,在前斯科菲尔德机场遗址,玻璃、陶瓷和燧石确实被用作加工其他材料的工具。这是陶瓷片使用的第一个证据,以前只知道它被用作最终产品,比如矛尖。使用磨损也表明,与通常的假设相反,玻璃瓶子较厚的部分并不总是首选工具,并且在每种原材料中,工具主要是碎片而不是故意咬碎的薄片。我们推断,虽然将动机归因于过去的行为是复杂的,但引进材料的使用代表了土著居民与即将到来的殖民文化接触的代理。

Aboriginal uses for introduced glass, ceramic and flint from the former Schofields Aerodrome, Western Sydney (Darug Country), New South Wales
Abstract Since permanent colonial incursion in 1788, Aboriginal groups around Australia incorporated introduced materials for a variety of tasks. However, relatively little is known about Aboriginal uses of bottle glass and ceramic flakes because there have only been two published use-wear analyses concerning bottle glass and none for ceramic. Excavations at the historical site of the former Schofields Aerodrome in New South Wales yielded flakes of both materials as well as introduced flint. We draw on actualistic experiments to inform interpretations of use-wear among the 279 archaeological specimens. Results demonstrate that glass, ceramic and flint were indeed used at the former Schofields Aerodrome site, for tools to work other materials. This is the first evidence for such use of ceramic flakes, which had previously only been known to have been used as end-products, such as spear tips. Use-wear also indicates that, contrary to common assumptions, thicker parts of glass bottles were not always preferred for tools and that across each raw material, tools were predominantly shards rather than intentionally knapped flakes. We infer that while ascribing motives to past behaviours is complex, the use of the introduced materials represents agency in Aboriginal people’s engagement with the incoming colonial culture.
