摘要
俄亥俄州亚当斯县的蛇丘可能是世界上最广为人知的雕像丘。然而,关于雕像是谁在何时建造的,众说纷纭。目前有两种相互冲突的立场。根据Lepper和他的同事(本卷和其他地方)的说法,这个雕像是由Fort Ancient culture的人在公元1070年左右建造的。根据作者和同事的说法,最近获得的放射性碳年代测定和其他数据表明,蛇丘是由Adena文化的人在公元前320年左右建造的,这要早得多。在这篇文章中,证据被提出,证实了早期发表的放射性碳年代暗示的腺藻结构。这些证据包括对一些发现的回顾,这些发现表明,真正的蛇有时与阿黛娜和霍普韦尔人一起埋葬,并考虑到一种复杂的关系,可以追溯到早期的林地——在那里,美洲原住民传说中的大蛇与死者的灵魂之旅、天蝎座和较低的世界联系在一起。总之,这些数据为蛇丘提供了早期林地文化和解释背景,并进一步证实了其建设的adena时代放射性碳年代。
The Serpent Mound in Adams County, Ohio, is probably the most widely recognized effigy mound in the world. Opinions differ, however, as to who built the effigy and when. Currently there are two conflicting positions. According to Lepper and colleagues (this volume and elsewhere) the effigy was built by people of the Fort Ancient culture circa AD 1070. According to the present author and colleagues, recently obtained radiocarbon dates and other data indicate that Serpent Mound was built much earlier, by people of the Adena culture, circa 320 BC.
In this article, evidence is presented that corroborates the earlier published radiocarbon dates suggestive of an Adenaera construction. This evidence includes a review of findings that real serpents were sometimes buried with Adena and Hopewell people and consideration of a relational complex reaching back to the Early Woodland—wherein the Great Serpent of Native American legend is associated with the journey of the deceased person’s soul, the star constellation Scorpius, and the Lowerworld. Together, these data provide an Early Woodland cultural and interpretive context for Serpent Mound and further corroborate the Adena-era radiocarbon dates for its construction.
