摘要

在过去的十年里,基于事件的叙事已经成为英国新石器时代讨论的常态。对放射性碳年代的统计分析,结合对个别情况的详细分析,产生了按时间顺序排列的分辨率,使人们能够更好地了解一些纪念碑的建造和使用情况。虽然这些都是信息性的,但它们有时表现出排他性的命名法,“异常值”和“剩余性”等术语适用于与其他数据不一致的数据。此外,理论方法也出现了类似的转变,即研究描述新石器时代生活的个体背景和人工制品。本文认为,从小规模的行动中推断出的基于事件的叙事目前的主导地位,无意中忽视了更广泛的文化理解的证据。特别是,有证据表明,新石器时代的沉积物中故意包含了已经很老的骨头。有人认为,这块骨头代表了过去对已经古老的材料的特别关注,这些材料可能在英国新石器时代的象征实践中具有社会价值。

Revealing a prehistoric past: Evidence for the deliberate construction of a historic narrative in the British Neolithic
Over the past decade, event-based narratives have become a norm in discussions of the British Neolithic. Statistical analyses of radiocarbon dates, combined with a detailed approach to individual contexts, have produced chronological resolutions that have enabled a greater understanding of the construction and use of some monuments. While these have been informative, they sometimes manifest exclusionary nomenclature, with terms such as ‘outliers' and ‘residuality' applied to data that does not agree with other data. In addition, theoretical approaches have seen a similar turn to examine individual contexts and artefacts with which to describe Neolithic life. This paper argues that the current dominance of event-based narratives, extrapolated from small-scale action, is inadvertently ignoring evidence of wider cultural understandings. In particular, evidence of the deliberate inclusion of already old bone in Neolithic deposits has been identified. It is argued that this bone represents a particular past focus on already old material that may have had social currency in British Neolithic symbolic practices.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Social Archaeology is a fully peer reviewed international journal that promotes interdisciplinary research focused on social approaches in archaeology, opening up new debates and areas of exploration. It engages with and contributes to theoretical developments from other related disciplines such as feminism, queer theory, postcolonialism, social geography, literary theory, politics, anthropology, cognitive studies and behavioural science. It is explicitly global in outlook with temporal parameters from prehistory to recent periods. As well as promoting innovative social interpretations of the past, it also encourages an exploration of contemporary politics and heritage issues.
