摘要

在Piedras Negras东南市场的发掘中发现的植物残留物提供了关于该遗址古典时期(公元350-900年)居民的治疗和医疗活动的信息,并指出了古玛雅人商业和医学之间的交叉点。这些植物可能是在市场上交换的,然后在现场用于治疗。植物遗迹得到了建筑和生物考古证据的补充,包括高浓度的汗浴和姑息性拔牙的证据。在民族历史的帮助下,我们确定了与植物遗骸潜在相关的医疗保健实践。然而,我们扩展了对“愈合”的基本理解,批判性地看待一些药用植物是如何被仪式调用的,即使从未直接摄入或局部应用。

HEALTH CARE IN THE MARKETPLACE: EXPLORING MAYA MEDICINAL PLANTS AND PRACTICES AT PIEDRAS NEGRAS, GUATEMALA
Abstract Botanical residues recovered from excavations in the Southeast Marketplace of Piedras Negras provide information about the healing and medical activities of the site's Classic period (a.d. 350–900) inhabitants, and point towards the intersection between commerce and medicine for the ancient Maya. The plants were likely exchanged at the market then used on-site for the purposes of healing. The botanical remains are complemented by both architectural and bioarchaeological evidence for healing at this locus, including a high concentration of sweatbaths and evidence for palliative tooth extraction. With the aid of ethnohistory, we identify health care practices potentially associated with the plant remains. However, we expand on basic understandings of “healing” with a critical look at how some medicinal plants may have been ritually invoked, even when never directly ingested or applied topically.

期刊介绍: Ancient Mesoamerica is the international forum for the method, theory, substance and interpretation of Mesoamerican archaeology, art history and ethnohistory. The journal publishes papers chiefly concerned with the Pre-Columbian archaeology of the Mesoamerican region, but also features articles from other disciplines including ethnohistory, historical archaeology and ethnoarchaeology. Topics covered include the origins of agriculture, the economic base of city states and empires, political organisation from the Formative through the Early Colonial periods, the development and function of early writing, and the use of iconography to reconstruct ancient religious beliefs and practices.
