在本章中,我总结了一些可能影响撒哈拉以南非洲当代两组狩猎采集者设计、制造和使用弓箭狩猎设备的一些技术、组织和环境因素。具体来说,我考虑的是博茨瓦纳卡拉哈里东部的库阿人,以及居住在坦桑尼亚北部埃亚西湖东南部的哈扎人(图1)。这里报告的观察结果是在一个更大的民族考古学研究项目的背景下进行的,该研究项目旨在了解狩猎采集者营地动物群落变异的本质(Bartram 1993a,1993b,1995;Bartram,Kroll和Bunn 1991;Bunn 1993;Bunn,Bartram和Kroll 1988,1991)。尽管更大的项目是为了特定的动物考古学目标而进行的,但我认为,这里提供的关于这两个群体如何使用弓箭技术的一些观察结果将引起关注在其使用环境中了解射弹技术的考古学家的兴趣。
In this chapter I summarize some of the technological, organizational, and environmental factors that are likely to influence the design, manufacture, and use of bow-hunting equipment by two groups of contemporary hunter-gatherers in sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, I consider the Kua of the eastern Kalahari in Botswana, and the Hadza who live to the southeast of Lake Eyasi of northern Tanzania (Figure 1). The observations reported here were made in the context of a larger ethnoarchaeological research project directed at understanding the nature of variability in faunal assemblages from hunter-gatherer camps (Bartram 1993a, 1993b, 1995; Bartram, Kroll, and Bunn 1991; Bunn 1993; Bunn, Bartram, and Kroll 1988, 1991). Although the larger project has been conducted with specific zooarchae-ological goals, I feel that some of the observations offered here about how these two groups employ bow and arrow technology will be of interest to archaeologists concerned with understanding projectile technologies in their contexts of use.
