摘要在欧亚大草原东部采用和传播游牧时期，早期牧民正在发展畜牧业，并形成了与粮食生产经济新需求相适应的社会网络和政治制度。建造和改建各种类型的石碑和长期开发纪念碑景观，是传递有关社区的规模和组织及其精英血统与这一时期日益深远的社会网络的联系的深度和强度的信息的昂贵信号。这座信息丰富的纪念碑建筑是这一时期的标志，也是一个关键工具，是早期牧民适应成功的关键工具。一个昂贵的纪念碑建筑信号模型为重新进入这一时期的坟墓提供了解释，再现了独特的类型和风格和纪念碑，并为新兴地区政治的政治景观提供了一个基本框架。
ABSTRACT During the period of the adoption and spread of nomadic pastoralism in the eastern Eurasian steppe early pastoralists were developing animal husbandry as well as forming the social networks and political systems that went along with the new needs of a food production economy. The building and modification of diverse types of stone monuments and the long-term development of monumental landscapes constituted costly signals that communicated information about the size and organization of communities and the depth and strength of the connections of their elite lineages with the increasingly far-reaching social networks of this period. This information-rich monument building was a hallmark of this period and a critical tool, a critical tool in the success of early pastoralist adaptation. A costly signalling model of monument building offers explanations for re-entry into graves of this period, the reproduction of distinctive types and styles and monuments and an underlying framework for the political landscapes of emerging regional polities.
