Willendorf II提供了多瑙河中游地区最长和研究最充分的MIS 3序列,并代表了中欧这一时期的关键参考序列之一。选择的组合分析来自考古层位(AH)5,归因于30和27 ka uncal之间的第一个Gravettian时期。BP。以前的分析都是基于1908/1909年发掘的选定清单(主要是工具和岩心)。20世纪90年代末,在维也纳自然历史博物馆的地下室发现了带有标签的木箱,其中装有1908/1909年发掘的许多其他文物,大大提高了所有考古学视野的发现总数,并为研究多瑙河中游地区旧石器时代晚期的行为变异开辟了新的视角。这是第一次,所有的人工制品都被分配到一个原材料来源地区,从而提供了一个图片的地理范围的觅食领土,并允许量化观察原材料经济和技术的变化,在早期格拉维特多瑙河中游地区。Willendorf II提供了一个很好的基础,研究Gravettian岩屑组合的变化,由于广泛的本地和非本地岩屑资源,可在不同的距离解决。原材料来源信息和原材料使用模式提供了流动性的补充措施。我们讨论的结果中的“技术供应”的概念,由S. L。库恩距离源单独是不适合预测和解释原料的频率和传输技术的非本地材料在Willendorf II-AH5的字符。我们认为,其他因素,如可预见的活动和职业跨度的预期程度可能占观察到的经济模式。我们的研究结果显然有更广泛的相关性,了解组合的变化,在中欧和更远的地方。
Willendorf II provides the longest and best-studied MIS 3 sequence in the Middle Danube region, and represents one of the key reference sequences for this time period in Central Europe. The assemblage chosen for analysis derives from archaeological horizon (AH) 5, attributed to the period of the first Gravettian between 30 and 27 ka uncal. BP. Previous analyses were all based on a selected inventory (mainly tools and cores) derived from the 1908/1909 excavations. The discovery of labelled wooden boxes containing numerous additional artefacts from the 1908/1909 excavations at the end of the 1990s in the cellar of the Natural History Museum in Vienna considerably raises the total number of finds for all archaeological horizons, and opens new perspectives for investigating Upper Palaeolithic behavioural variability in the Middle Danube region. For the first time, all artefacts have been assigned to a raw material source area, thus providing a picture of the geographic extent of the foraging territory, and allowing for quantified observations on raw material economy and technological variability in the early Gravettian of the Middle Danube region. Willendorf II provides an excellent basis for the study of Gravettian lithic assemblage variability due to the wide array of local and nonlocal lithic resources available at varying distances from the settlement. Source provenance information and patterns of raw material use offer complementary measures of mobility. We discuss the results in the light of the concepts of “technological provisioning” developed by S.L. Kuhn. Distance to source alone is not suitable to predict and explain raw material frequencies and the character of transported technologies on nonlocal material at Willendorf II-AH5. We argue that other factors such as the degree of anticipation of foreseeable activities and occupation span might account for the observed economic patterns. Our results clearly have broader relevance for understanding assemblage variability in the Gravettian of Central Europe and further afield.
