Early West African Metallurgies: New Data and Old OrthodoxyJournal of World Prehistory - Tập 22 - Trang 415-438 - 2009
Augustin F. C. Holl
The debate on West African metallurgies cannot be properly understood without reference to the colonial template that featured Africa as the receiving partner in all crucial social, economic, and technological development. The interesting debate that took place in West Africa during the Colonial Period was more meta-theoretical than factual. These conflicting glosses, despite their lack of empiric...... hiện toàn bộ
Tốc độ thuần hóa đo lường ở lúa mì và lúa mạch hoang dã dưới canh tác nguyên thủy và những hệ lụy khảo cổ học Dịch bởi AI Journal of World Prehistory - Tập 4 - Trang 157-222 - 1990
Gordon C. Hillman, M. Stuart Davies
Nông sản ngũ cốc đầu tiên của con người (hoặc có thể nói là của phụ nữ) được gieo trồng từ hạt thu thập từ các quần thể hoang dã, và trong quá trình canh tác, việc thuần hóa đã xảy ra. Các thí nghiệm đo lường tốc độ thuần hóa cho thấy rằng ở các loại cây lương thực hoang dã như lúa mì einkorn, lúa mì emmer và lúa mạch dưới các hệ thống chăn nuôi nguyên thủy: (a) việc thuần hóa chỉ diễn ra khi chún...... hiện toàn bộ

From northern China, millet agriculture spread to Korea and the Maritime Russian Far East by 3500–2700 BC. While the expansion of agricultural societies across the Sea of Japan did not occur until around 900 BC, the intervening period saw major transformations in the Japanese archipelago. The cultural florescence of Middle Jōmon central Honshu underwent a collapse and reorganisation into more dece...... hiện toàn bộ
Beyond Typology: Looking for Processes and Diversity in the Study of Lithic Technology in the Brazilian AmazonJournal of World Prehistory - Tập 23 - Trang 121-143 - 2010
Lucas Bueno
This article describes how the lithic industries of the Amazon have been studied in Brazilian archaeology, and presents a historical record of research in the region. The article then attempts to analyze the reasons for the relative paucity of work on this research theme. The record includes studies of lithic industries related to the presence of pottery-using (ceramist) groups as well as those re...... hiện toàn bộ
Migration and Cultural Change: The Northern Iroquoian Case in South-Central OntarioJournal of World Prehistory - Tập 27 - Trang 145-195 - 2014
Jenneth E. Curtis
This paper explores processes of cultural change by contrasting migration scenarios with in situ cultural development. I argue that a detailed, fine-grained analysis of patterning within the archaeological record provides the means with which to distinguish between these scenarios. The archaeology of the Rice Lake–Trent River region in south-central Ontario provides a case study for the investigat...... hiện toàn bộ
The Middle Paleolithic of the Balkans: Industrial Variability, Human Biogeography, and Neanderthal DemiseJournal of World Prehistory - - 2023
Tamara Dogandžić
Europe is characterized by an uneven record of Middle Paleolithic occupations. Specifically, large parts of southeastern Europe display markedly lower site densities and less intensive evidence of human presence than is found elsewhere; this has often resulted in the exclusion of the Balkans from debates related to Pleistocene human adaptation. The discrepancy stems either from the lower populatio...... hiện toàn bộ
