本文介绍了在巴西南部圣卡塔琳娜州的博宁遗址（Urubici, Santa Catarina state, southern Bonin）发现的两个家庭烹饪结构中发现的14块陶瓷碎片的淀粉颗粒和植物石残留物分析结果。该地区植物微化石技术的新应用首次揭示了木薯（Manihot esculenta Crantz）、豆类（Phaseolus sp.）、木薯（Manihot esculenta Crantz）和木薯（Manihot esculenta Crantz）的消费。除了玉米（Zea mays L.）和南瓜（Cucurbita sp.）外，还可能有山药（参见薯蓣）。这些发现表明，在欧洲征服之前的一个多世纪，南方的原始jei人就已经有了以各种植物性食物为基础的自给经济，并开始了粮食生产。与南部原始乙脑迁移的传统模型相反，我们的数据表明，粮食生产可能允许人口全年定居在巴西南部高原，而无需季节性迁移到大西洋森林悬崖和大西洋海岸环境中获取食物。我们的数据补充了考古证据，证明公元300-1700年南方原始部落的定居主义和社会复杂性有所增加，包括建造大型；精心规划的坑屋村庄，以及围绕葬礼/仪式结构的高度结构化景观的创造。(C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
This article presents the results of starch grain and phytolith residue analyses from 14 ceramic fragments recovered in two domestic cooking structures from a southern proto-Je pit house at the Bonin site (Urubici, Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil) dating to 1300-1439 and 1297-1414 cal yr. A.D. The novel application of plant microfossil techniques in this region revealed, for the first time, the consumption of manioc (Manihot esculenta Crantz), beans (Phaseolus sp.), and possibly yams (cf. Dioscorea sp.) in addition to maize (Zea mays L.) and squash (Cucurbita sp.). These findings show that southern proto-Je people had a subsistence economy based on a variety of plant foods and practiced food production more than one century before European Conquest. Contrary to traditional models of southern proto-Je mobility, our data suggest that food production may have allowed populations to settle in the southern Brazilian highland plateau year-round without the need for seasonal movements to the Atlantic forest escarpment and the Atlantic coast environments to procure food. Our data complement archaeological evidence for increased sedentism and social complexity among southern proto-re groups from A.D. 300-1700, including the construction of large; well-planned pit-house villages, and the creation of a highly structured landscape revolving around funerary/ceremonial structures.
