摘要

在大津巴布韦的古代绍纳中心（公元1200–1700年），牛（Bos taurus）在经济、社会和象征意义上具有重要意义。在津巴布韦南部采集的现代植物的87Sr/86Sr在0.7054到0.8780之间，并且在一些地质基底之间的范围不同。Bos taurus牙釉质系列样品中的87Sr/86Sr提供了在大津巴布韦消费的动物在哪里饲养以及如何管理畜群的信息。大多数被采样的动物都是在大津巴布韦以南约40-120公里的地区出生并存活第一年的。很少有动物来自像大津巴布韦本身这样的地质基底，也没有动物来自玄武岩下方的地区（大津巴布韦以南>120公里）。早期关于跨人类的假设是不成立的。这些发现将有助于更全面地了解当地商品（在本例中是牛）在经济网络中的作用，这些经济网络支持了大津巴布韦作为主要权力中心的崛起和繁荣。

Investigating Cattle Procurement at Great Zimbabwe Using 87Sr/86Sr

At the ancient Shona centre of Great Zimbabwe (1200–1700 CE), cattle (Bos taurus) were centrally important for economic, social, and symbolic purposes. 87Sr/86Sr for modern plants collected in southern Zimbabwe vary from 0.7054 to 0.8780 and ranges differ between some geological substrates. 87Sr/86Sr in serial samples of Bos taurus tooth enamel provides information on where animals consumed at Great Zimbabwe were raised and how herds were managed. The majority of animals sampled were born and remained for their first year of life in a region some 40–120 km south of Great Zimbabwe. Few animals came from geological substrates like that of Great Zimbabwe itself, and none from areas underlain by basalts (> 120 km south of Great Zimbabwe). Earlier hypotheses of transhumance are not supported. These findings will help to build a fuller picture of the role of local commodities (in this case, cattle) in the economic networks that supported the rise and florescence of Great Zimbabwe as a major centre of power.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
