项目摘要
This doctoral dissertation project will investigate the use of fire, an important adaptation in human prehistory, and its relationship to fluctuating environmental conditions. Burned stone artifacts will be quantified (frequencies) as measures of fire use in several stone artifact assemblages from Paleolithic archaeological sites selected from a wide range of temporal, geographic, and climatic conditions. Other evidence of fire use, such as hearths, is often qualitative (presence/absence) and therefore of limited utility in documenting the intensity or extent of fire use at these sites. The project will advance knowledge about human behavioral plasticity with respect to changing environments. It will also leverage available, but often neglected, data from museum collections, and will make these data accessible to a range of scholars through publications and databases. Public presentations about the findings will be made in museum settings to engage wider audiences, and background information and results of the project also will be shared through public archaeology podcasts and social media. Outreach activities will promote the participation of women and adult learners in scientific inquiry, and foster interest in archaeological and paleoanthropological research.The frequency of burned stone artifacts will be compared across strata using three different sampling strategies (two types of counting methods, as well as weight) based on a size-grade distribution. Integrating the resulting data with other direct and geoarchaeological evidence of fire use will help to document the extent to which fire was used during the period of occupation associated with each cold and warm interval during the Paleolithic period. In addition, a controlled experiment using an ultra-low freezer will be conducted to assess the impact of the natural process of frost weathering on stone artifacts, to increase the level of accuracy and reliability in the identification of burned flints by distinguishing surface alterations that are caused by frosting exposures from those of burning. Petrographic and scanning electron microscopy, as well as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, will be used to detect macro- and microscopic alterations on the surface of experimentally frost-weathered artifacts. The results of this project will contribute to the field of Paleolithic archaeology by advancing sampling methods and experimental designs for the analysis of burned stone artifacts, as well as documenting burned artifacts from an extensive geographic range.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
该博士学位论文项目将调查使用火的使用,人类史前的重要适应性及其与波动环境条件的关系。燃烧的石材伪影将被定量(频率),作为从旧石器时代考古遗址中从各种时间,地理和气候条件中选择的几种石材伪影组合中使用火的方法。其他使用火灾的证据,例如炉膛,通常是定性的(存在/不存在),因此在记录这些地点使用火力的强度或范围方面的效用有限。该项目将在不断变化的环境方面提高有关人类行为可塑性的知识。它还将利用博物馆收藏的数据,但经常被忽略,并通过出版物和数据库使一系列学者可以访问这些数据。有关调查结果的公开演讲将在博物馆环境中进行,以吸引更广泛的观众,并且该项目的背景信息和结果也将通过公共考古播客和社交媒体共享。外展活动将促进妇女和成人学习者参与科学探究,并促进对考古和古人类学研究的兴趣。将使用三种不同的抽样策略(两种类型的计数方法,以及重量)基于尺寸的分布,将在层次上比较燃烧的石材伪像的频率。将所得数据与使用火的其他直接和地理考古学证据相结合,将有助于记录在古石器时代在每个寒冷和温暖的间隔相关的占用期间使用火的程度。此外,将进行使用超低冰柜的受控实验,以评估霜冻对石材伪像的自然过程的影响,以通过区分霜冻爆发的表面变化来提高燃烧的燃烧的燃烧膜的准确性和可靠性水平。岩石学和扫描电子显微镜以及傅立叶变换红外光谱将用于检测实验性霜冻天气的伪影表面上的宏观和显微镜变化。该项目的结果将通过推进采样方法和实验设计来分析燃烧的石材文物,并记录从广泛的地理范围内的烧毁文物的分析,从而为旧石器时代的考古学领域做出贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务,并通过使用基础的智力效果和广阔的范围来评估NSF的法规任务,并以评估值得评估。
