项目摘要

Harris Under the direction of Dr. John Harris, Mr Kyara Onesphor will collect data for his doctoral dissertation. He will conduct both field and laboratory analysis and study stone tool assemblages from sites located at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. He will focus on materials included in the Bed II geological strata which are significant because they document a major archaeological and physical transformation in human evolution. Stone tools recovered from this interval are made on a number of different raw materials and archaeologists wish to know what insight this variety might provide into early human behavior. Mr. Onesphor will analyze the tools by typology and by raw material. He will also conduct experiments to determine which kinds of raw materials are best suited to specific functions. He will then travel to Olduvai gorge, locate raw material sources, collect specimens and note the distances to archaeological sites. With the data thus collected he hopes to reconstruct aspects of the cognitive and land use systems of early hominids. The research will produce data of interest to many archaeologists. It will shed new light on the development of human capabilities and assist in the training of a promising young scientist.

在约翰·哈里斯博士的指导下，Kyara Onesphor先生将为他的博士论文收集数据。他将进行现场和实验室分析，并研究坦桑尼亚奥杜瓦伊峡谷遗址的石器组合。他将重点介绍第二层地质地层中包含的材料，这些材料具有重要意义，因为它们记录了人类进化过程中的一次重大考古和物理变革。从这个时间间隔发现的石器是用许多不同的原材料制成的，考古学家希望知道这种变化可能为早期人类行为提供什么洞察力。Onesphor先生将按类型和原材料分析这些工具。他还将进行实验，以确定哪种原材料最适合特定功能。然后，他将前往奥杜瓦伊峡谷，寻找原材料来源，收集标本，并记录到考古遗址的距离。有了这样收集的数据，他希望重建早期原始人的认知和土地使用系统的各个方面。这项研究将产生许多考古学家感兴趣的数据。它将为人类能力的发展提供新的线索，并有助于培养一位有前途的年轻科学家。
