摘要

巴布亚新几内亚的巴布亚湾是一个快速变化的地貌和文化景观,祖先的过去不断被(重新)解读和谈判。本文探讨了地下考古和地貌特征对巴布亚湾奥罗科洛湾各个社区的重要性,因为它们维护和重建了宇宙学和迁徙叙事。在以前的村庄,挖掘和清理农业和房屋建设的日常做法使奥罗科洛湾当地人定期接触埋藏的陶器碎片(在祖先的hiri贸易中沉积)和薄的“黑砂”(铁砂)。对地下的局部解释和想象能够对祖先的行为和祖先定居点的结构进行时空解释。这些解释指出了物质文化与物质文化的深刻纠缠,为另类考古学的比较研究提供了新的方向。

Excavating and interpreting ancestral action: Stories from the subsurface of Orokolo Bay, Papua New Guinea
The Gulf of Papua, Papua New Guinea, is a rapidly changing geomorphic and cultural landscape in which the ancestral past is constantly being (re)interpreted and negotiated. This paper examines the importance of subsurface archaeological and geomorphological features for the various communities of Orokolo Bay in the Gulf of Papua as they maintain and re-construct cosmological and migration narratives. The everyday practices of digging and clearing for agriculture and house construction at antecedent village locations bring Orokolo Bay locals into regular engagement with buried pottery sherds (deposited during the ancestral hiri trade) and thin strata of ‘black sand’ (iron sand). Local interpretations and imaginings of the subsurface enable spatio-temporal interpretations of the ancestors' actions and the structure of ancestral settlements. These interpretations point to the profound entanglement of orality and material culture and suggest new directions in the comparative study of alternative archaeologies.

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.
