项目摘要

Writing is more than a visual medium for communicating information - it is also a cultural practice that must be understood in context. Researchers studying the transmission or spread of cultural practices in the ancient past rely largely on material and physical remains. Archaeology is especially well-suited to address these questions because it combines a critical engagement with material culture with a concern with change and interaction over time and space. In this context, writing presents an ideal case for exploring cultural transmission because of the material traces that it leaves and because its physical aspects are often ignored at the expense of its more abstract message. Mallory Matsumoto (Brown University) will undertake dissertation research to understand the production and transmission of writing. In addition to fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between archaeology, epigraphy, and anthropology, this work will demonstrate how interaction in one cultural context may affect another, an issue relevant to understanding both the past and the present. In addition to contributing to current understanding of pre-Columbian Maya civilization, the results will be especially relevant to contemporary Maya communities given their current efforts revive the hieroglyphic script as a symbol of identity and cultural heritage.This dissertation research will examine if and how the networks through which writing is transmitted overlap with other contexts of cultural exchange. Its case study will be the ancient Maya hieroglyphic writing system, which was used for over 1500 years in areas of what are now Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. Critically, the writing system was shared among pre-Columbian Maya communities who were not only separated by space and time, but also were never politically unified. Although the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphs has advanced significantly in recent decades, scholars still do not understand how the writing system developed and spread. The investigator will analyze the form of Maya inscriptions and the hieroglyphs they contain to reconstruct which settlements were sharing which writing techniques, how these patterns changed over time, and how they related to interactions in other contexts like politics, warfare, or trade.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
写作不仅仅是一种传达信息的视觉媒介——它也是一种必须在上下文中理解的文化实践。研究古代文化习俗传播或传播的研究人员在很大程度上依赖于物质和物理遗迹。考古学特别适合解决这些问题,因为它将对物质文化的批判性参与与对随时间和空间的变化和相互作用的关注结合起来。在这种背景下,书写为探索文化传播提供了一个理想的案例,因为它留下了物质痕迹,也因为它的物理方面经常被忽视,而牺牲了它更抽象的信息。马洛里·松本(布朗大学)将进行论文研究,以了解写作的产生和传播。除了促进考古学、金石学和人类学之间的跨学科合作外,这项工作还将展示一种文化背景下的互动如何影响另一种文化背景,这是一个与理解过去和现在相关的问题。除了有助于当前对前哥伦布时期玛雅文明的理解之外,这些结果还将与当代玛雅社区特别相关,因为他们目前正在努力复兴象形文字作为身份和文化遗产的象征。本论文研究将研究传播文字的网络是否以及如何与其他文化交流背景重叠。它的案例研究将是古代玛雅象形文字书写系统,该系统在现在的墨西哥、危地马拉、伯利兹和洪都拉斯地区使用了 1500 多年。重要的是,这种书写系统是在前哥伦布时代的玛雅社区之间共享的,这些社区不仅在空间和时间上相隔,而且在政治上也从未统一。尽管近几十年来,玛雅象形文字的破译取得了显着进展,但学者们仍然不明白这种书写系统是如何发展和传播的。调查人员将分析玛雅铭文的形式及其所包含的象形文字,以重建哪些定居点共享哪些书写技术,这些模式如何随着时间的推移而变化,以及它们与政治、战争或贸易等其他背景下的互动有何关系。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
