项目摘要

Dr. Cynthia Robin, of Northwestern University, along with colleagues from the US and Belize, will conduct research to study how a city can survive, and even thrive, during periods of political and environmental stress in society. As over half of the world lives in cities today, there is perhaps no more pressing question than: how can people create cities that are long-lived and successful? Archaeology is uniquely suited to answer questions about the longevity of cities, because archaeologists can excavate long periods and time and can thus examine the long-term history of human cities and assess why some cities succeed and other cities fail. The social, political, economic, and environmental pressures that modern people and cities face are not new and archaeology provides a means to evaluate how people in the past successfully and unsuccessfully dealt with challenges in establishing and maintaining cities. The data that archaeologists generate about why cities succeed or fail takes on renewed importance in today's world in which developing successful, long-lived cities is an imperative. Dr. Robin and her colleagues will train US and Belizean graduate and undergraduate students in archaeology. They will develop educational programs for the general public, as well as University students, to demonstrate how knowledge about the past is important for creating a better world today and foster interest in archaeology and the preservation of antiquities.Dr. Robin and her research team will examine how cities can develop socio-political and economic systems that allow them to withstand periods of political turmoil and environmental stress. The research will take place in northern Belize, Central America, a region that is peripheral to major power centers in PreColumbian Maya society. On the periphery of and at the crossroads between major power centers of the ancient Maya, cities in northern Belize were able to develop political and economic relations and resource extraction that allowed them to survive and thrive during periods of drought and political crisis that led to the decline and collapse of cities in core areas of Maya society. Research will focus on the city of Aventura that thrived while cities around it in core Maya areas collapsed. The research team will survey and map the city of Aventura using state of the art laser and digital technologies. They will conduct test excavations across the city to understand a broad swath of the city and completely excavate three building groups to gain more in depth knowledge. Through the archaeological survey and excavation of Aventura's 2500 year history, Dr. Robin and her research team will analyze archaeological, botanical, soil science, and osteological evidence to determine how this city succeeded when others failed.

西北大学的辛西娅·罗宾博士将与来自美国和伯利兹的同事一起进行研究，研究一座城市如何在社会政治和环境压力的时期生存下来，甚至蓬勃发展。由于当今世界有一半以上的人生活在城市中，也许没有什么比这更紧迫的问题了：人们如何才能创造出长寿和成功的城市？考古学特别适合回答有关城市寿命的问题，因为考古学家可以挖掘很长的时期和时间，从而可以研究人类城市的长期历史，并评估为什么一些城市成功，另一些城市失败。现代人和城市面临的社会、政治、经济和环境压力并不新鲜，考古学提供了一种手段来评估过去人们如何成功地和不成功地应对建立和维护城市的挑战。考古学家产生的关于城市成败的数据在当今世界具有新的重要性，在这个世界上，发展成功的、长寿的城市是当务之急。罗宾博士和她的同事将培训美国和伯利兹的考古学研究生和本科生。他们将为普通公众和大学生开发教育项目，以展示有关过去的知识对于创造一个更美好的当今世界是多么重要，并培养人们对考古学和文物保护的兴趣。罗宾和她的研究团队将研究城市如何发展社会政治和经济体系，使它们能够经受住政治动荡和环境压力的时期。这项研究将在中美洲伯利兹北部进行，该地区是前古玛雅社会主要权力中心的外围地区。在古代玛雅主要权力中心的边缘和十字路口，伯利兹北部的城市能够发展政治和经济关系，并开采资源，使它们能够在导致玛雅社会核心地区城市衰落和崩溃的干旱和政治危机时期生存和繁荣。研究将集中在奥文图拉这座城市的繁荣，而它周围的城市在玛雅核心地区崩溃。研究小组将使用最先进的激光和数字技术对奥文图拉市进行测量和绘制地图。他们将在全市范围内进行试验性挖掘，以了解城市的大片区域，并全面挖掘三个建筑群，以获得更深入的知识。通过对Aventura 2500年历史的考古调查和挖掘，Robin博士和她的研究团队将分析考古学、植物学、土壤学和骨骨学证据，以确定这座城市是如何在其他城市失败的时候取得成功的。
