摘要

社会在服饰、饮食、法律和语言上的差异程度似乎是当今人类经验的一个组成部分,一些研究人员认为这是所谓“现代人类行为”的一个标志。然而,目前尚不清楚的是,在时间平均的旧石器时代组合中,区域内相对较低的文化差异与区域间相对较高的文化差异相匹配的模式在多大程度上可以评估。在这里,我们使用一个空间显式的基于主体的模型来开始研究时间平均如何影响考古组合中文化传播变异的空间相似性尺度。我们的研究结果表明,单独的时间平均可以增加考古景观中最流行的文化变体相对频率之间的局部空间关联规模。我们的发现对旧石器时代及以后的区域文化差异(或缺乏差异)的空间尺度的考古解释具有重要意义。

Time-averaging and the spatial scale of regional cultural differentiation in archaeological assemblages
ABSTRACT The degree to which societies differ in dress, diet, laws, and language appears to be such an integral part of today's human experience that some researchers think of it as a hallmark of so-called “modern human behavior.” Yet it remains unclear to what extent the current pattern of relatively low within-region cultural variation paired with relatively high between-region cultural variation can be assessed in time-averaged Paleolithic assemblages. Here, we use a spatially explicit agent-based model to begin to examine how time-averaging can affect the spatial scale of similarity among culturally transmitted variants in archaeological assemblages. Our results show that time-averaging, alone, can increase the scale of local spatial association among the relative frequency of the most prevalent cultural variant in an archaeological landscape. Our findings have important implications for archaeological interpretations of the spatial scale of regional cultural differentiation (or lack thereof) in the Paleolithic record and beyond.
