本文确定了时间校准点，以准确地扎根和测定阿拉瓦坎语的系统发育，阿拉瓦坎语是美洲最大的土著语系。我们提出并模拟了一种从考古记录中提取校准点的方法，该方法基于考古遗址和阿拉瓦坎人之间的地理重叠原则，以及考古发现和现代阿拉瓦坎人实践之间的物质文化连续性。基于阿拉瓦坎家族从亚马逊中部扩张的共识模型，我们重点关注阿拉瓦坎扩张区的考古发现，在那里，阿拉瓦坎物质文化突然出现在给定的地区，并且只有一个主要的阿拉瓦坎亚群/支系存在。我们从阿拉瓦坎扩展带的考古遗址中发现了12个校准点，并根据首次提到的民族习语和早期词汇数据，从历史记录中识别出更新的校准点。
This paper identifies time calibration points for accurately rooting and dating the phylogeny of Arawakan, the largest Indigenous linguistic family of the Americas. We present and model a methodology for extracting calibration points from the archaeological record, based on principles of geographical overlap between archaeological sites and Arawakan peoples, and on continuity in material culture between archaeological finds and modern Arawakan practices. Based on a consensus model of the expansion of the Arawakan family from Central Amazonia, we focus on archaeological finds in Arawakan expansion zones, where Arawakan material culture abruptly appears in a given region, and where only a single major Arawakan subgroup/clade is present. We find 12 calibration points from archaeological sites in Arawakan expansion zones and also identify more recent calibration points from the historical record based on first mentions of ethnonyms and early sources of lexical data.
