项目摘要

Under the direction of Dr. Richard Klein, Ms. Katherine Horsburgh will collect data for her doctoral dissertation. The goal of her research is to understand the processes by which domesticated animals entered southern Africa. Until about 2,000 years ago everyone is southern Africa obtained their food from wild sources. The arrival of domesticated sheep, cattle and dogs from the North - none were domesticated locally - entailed a dramatic shift in local subsistence strategy and this project will examine this transition in detail. Developing an understanding of this process through which domesticate husbandry arrived in southern Africa is complicated by the osteological similarities between cattle and other large bovids, especially buffalo and between dogs and jackels. To circumvent this problem the researchers will extract and sequence small portions of the mitochondrial genome of specimens that may represent domesticates. The remains of the domesticates will then be radiocarbon dated to construct a secure chronology for the arrival of these species.Anthropologists wish to understand how cultures respond and adapt to changed environmental situations and one major source of change is the availability of important new food items. It is clear that domesticates entered southern Africa roughly 2,000 years ago but the means by which they arrived is uncertain. One possibility is that a set of introductions, including domesticates and pottery was brought directly by Bantu groups which were expanding from the North. Another possibility is that these elements diffused southwards individually and moved, essentially from hand to hand without the concurrent movement of new human groups. To understand how the hunters and gatherers adapted and incorporated these new elements into their lifestyle it is important to distinguish between this two options and the data which Ms. Horsburgh will collect offers the potential do so. If all arrived simultaneously rather than individually over time, it is likely that all were brought in together by new human groups.This award will also further the career and intellectual development of a promising graduate student.
在Richard Klein博士的指导下,Katherine Horsburgh女士将为她的博士论文收集数据。她的研究目标是了解驯养动物进入非洲南部的过程。直到大约2000年前,非洲南部的每个人都从野外获取食物。来自北方的驯化羊、牛和狗的到来- -没有一种是在当地驯化的- -导致了当地生存战略的巨大转变,本项目将详细审查这种转变。由于牛和其他大型动物(尤其是水牛)以及狗和豺狼在骨骼学上的相似性,要了解驯化畜牧业到达非洲南部的过程变得很复杂。为了解决这个问题,研究人员将提取可能代表驯化动物的标本的一小部分线粒体基因组并对其进行测序。然后将对驯化动物的遗骸进行放射性碳测定,为这些物种的到来建立一个可靠的年表。人类学家希望了解文化是如何对变化的环境做出反应和适应的,而变化的一个主要来源是重要的新食物的可用性。很明显,驯化动物大约在2000年前进入非洲南部,但他们到达的方式尚不确定。一种可能性是,一系列的引进,包括驯化和陶器,是由从北方扩张的班图人直接带来的。另一种可能性是,这些元素单独向南扩散并移动,基本上是在没有新的人类群体同时移动的情况下,从一个人手转移到另一个人手。为了了解猎人和采集者如何适应并将这些新元素融入他们的生活方式,区分这两种选择是很重要的,Horsburgh女士将收集的数据提供了这样做的可能性。如果它们是同时到达的,而不是随着时间的推移而单独到达的,那么它们很可能是由新的人类群体带到一起的。该奖项还将进一步促进有前途的研究生的职业和智力发展。
