摘要

在埃塞俄比亚西北部，皮革加工是一种熟练的做法，包括将生皮革加工成皮革制品，使用木柄中的铁刀片进行刮擦，用植物油锤击石头，以去除毛发，软化皮革，并给皮革上色。这项对居住在东Gojjam地区的阿姆哈拉皮革工人的研究侧重于铁刮刀的专门使用，这在皮革工人和铁匠铺之间建立了牢固的关系，铁匠铺是该工具的唯一供应商。在刮刀制造过程中，我们观察到锻铁在铁匠中是一种逐渐衰落的技能。对这一新背景的研究有助于检查使用不同工具的持久性、时间变化和在使用不同技术的群体中完成类似任务的劳动力成本的差异。

An Ethnoarchaeological Study of Hide Working with Iron Scrapers in East Gojjam, Northwestern Ethiopia

ABSTRACT In northwestern Ethiopia, hide working is a skilled practice that involves turning raw hides into processed leather products using iron blades in wooden hafts for scraping and hammer stones with plant oils for hair removal, softening, and coloring the hides. This study among Amhara hide workers living in the East Gojjam Zone focuses on the specialized use of iron scrapers, which establishes a strong relationship between hide workers and ironsmiths who are the sole suppliers of the tool. Forging iron is a declining skill preserved among the smiths which is observed during scraper manufacturing. The study of this new context helps to examine variation in persistence of the different tools used, time variation and labor costs in accomplishing similar tasks among groups using different technology.

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.
