戈戈瀑布 (Gogo Falls) 是一个位于维多利亚湖盆地东部的多组件开放场地(图 1)。该遗址的占领范围跨越了数千年,在此期间发生了许多重大的技术和经济变革。其中包括陶器、家畜和铁器的首次出现。戈戈瀑布的沉积物体现了以陶器和石器组合为基础的多种文化传统。因此,戈戈瀑布对于维多利亚湖盆地东部史前晚期的重建具有至关重要的意义。本文是 1983 年底戈戈瀑布发掘工作的最终现场报告。它介绍了发掘工作、地层学和年代测定,以及所有文物的分析结果。专家报告(在某些情况下是初步报告)附在动物和花卉遗骸上。
Gogo Falls is a multi-component open site located in the eastern Lake Victoria basin (fig. 1). The sequence of occupation horizons at the site spans several millennia during which a number of major technological and economic changes occurred. These include the first appearance of pottery, domestic animals and iron artefacts. Several cultural traditions, recognised on the basis of pottery and stone artefact assemblages, are represented in the deposits at Gogo Falls. Therefore, Gogo Falls is of paramount importance to the reconstruction of the later prehistory of the eastern portion of the Lake Victoria basin. This paper is the final site report on excavations at Gogo Falls in late 1983. It presents descriptions ofthe excavations, stratigraphy and dating, together with the results of the analyses of all the artefacts. Specialist reports, in some cases preliminary, are appended on the faunal and floral remains.
