本文回顾了安纳托利亚中部科尼亚平原新石器时代Catalhoyuk遗址50年来的黑曜石研究。该研究解决了几个关键问题:(1)该遗址原材料的来源,黑曜石被引入该遗址的方式和形式,以及Catalhoyuk在这些原材料的超区域传播中的作用;(2)某些黑曜石物品在埋葬记录及其后的所谓性别关联;(3)对现场黑曜石流通和消费的社会意义进行更广泛的考虑,包括囤积和赠送现象,以及抛射物在创造社会身份和各种形式的仪式行为中的重要作用,尤其是建筑物/个人生命的终结;(4)技术类型和原材料随时间的变化;(五)黑曜石在日常实践和手工艺中的应用。
This paper reviews 50 years of obsidian studies at Neolithic Catalhoyuk in the Konya plain, central Anatolia. A number of key issues are addressed: (1) the source of the site's raw materials, the means and forms by which the obsidian was introduced to the site and the role of Catalhoyuk in the supra-regional dissemination of these raw materials; (2) the alleged gender associations of certain obsidian goods in the burial record and beyond; (3) a more general consideration of the social significance of the circulation and consumption of obsidian at the site, including the phenomena of hoarding and gifting, plus the important role of projectiles in the creation of social identities and various forms of ritual behaviour, not least the termination of the life of a building/individual; (4) the technotypological and raw material variability through time; (5) the use of obsidian in daily practice and craft-working.
