摘要

西马来西亚(马来西亚半岛)独特的“马鞍形”石刀被称为Tembeling刀，长期以来一直被用来表征该地区新石器时代人口的早期农业活动。虽然这些工具在形态上暗示了一种收割功能，但它们与早期植物使用的关联从未得到证实。本研究通过对Tembeling刀的技术属性和使用特征的初步实验研究，首次探讨了Tembeling刀的功能。结果表明，新石器时代人口与其觅食祖先之间的石器技术过程具有连续性。实验结果表明，该工具具有高效的收割功能。此外，考古样本上的使用模式与实验中复制的硅质植物加工工具的轮廓最接近。

Preliminary Technological and Functional Studies of the Neolithic Stone Reaping Knives from West Malaysia: An Experimental Approach

ABSTRACT The distinctive “saddle-shape” stone knives known as Tembeling knives of West Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia) have long been used to characterize the early agricultural activities of Neolithic populations in the region. While these tools are morphologically suggestive of a reaping function, their association with early plant use has never been established. The present study explores for the first time the function of Tembeling knives through a preliminary experimental study focusing on technological attributes and usewear profiles. The results indicate continuity in lithic technological processes between Neolithic populations and their foraging predecessors. The experimental work suggests an efficient reaping function for the tool. Additionally, usewear patterns on archaeological examples correspond most closely to the profiles found for siliceous plant-working tools replicated in the experiment.

期刊介绍： Ethnoarchaeology, a cross-cultural peer-reviewed journal, focuses on the present position, impact of, and future prospects of ethnoarchaeological and experimental studies approaches to anthropological research. The primary goal of this journal is to provide practitioners with an intellectual platform to showcase and appraise current research and theoretical and methodological directions for the 21st century. Although there has been an exponential increase in ethnoarchaeological and experimental research in the past thirty years, there is little that unifies or defines our subdiscipline. Ethnoarchaeology addresses this need, exploring what distinguishes ethnoarchaeological and experimental approaches, what methods connect practitioners, and what unique suite of research attributes we contribute to the better understanding of the human condition. In addition to research articles, the journal publishes book and other media reviews, periodic theme issues, and position statements by noted scholars.
