项目摘要
The goal of this dissertation research project is to investigate the complexities of interactions between communities living within and surrounding environmental and cultural borderlands. Humans today are increasingly interconnected through global flows of information, trade, and the movement of people throughout the world. As the modern world is confronted with the blurring of cultural and ethnic boundaries as people cross borders and renegotiate their identities, archaeologists are discovering that cultural borders throughout history are not as rigid as previously defined. It can be difficult to summarize and define “cohesive” cultural units, because even within any given community, there are nuances in how people live their lives. And often, communities located at any border are seen as less complex or important, simply because they live in rural zones on the edge of artificially drawn units. Archaeology, as the study of human culture through material remains, forges a new path towards understanding interactions between people living within and surrounding supposed borderlands. This study conceptualizes this space as networks of community relationships in order to understand connectedness by degrees rather than rigid boundaries. This in turn will let researchers more accurately understand how communities interacted in the past and in the modern world regardless of border placement.The research team will employ a social networks analysis (SNA) to examine relationships between communities located within and surrounding an environmental and seemingly cultural borderland. The researchers analyze the Neosho people and their neighbors. Neosho communities resided on the Ozark Plateau of northeastern Oklahoma. Like many Oklahomans today, Neosho communities occupied the edges of two ecologically distinct regions: the Great Plains and Eastern Woodlands. Not only did they develop technological and social practices to deal with the unique challenges of their environment, they also negotiated multiple cultural worlds as they came into contact with other groups outside of this borderland area. A large regional network analysis of ceramic manufacture and design will map out these relationships between Neosho communities and their neighbors at two levels. The first will examine how people decorated their pottery, where similarities in designs often correspond to communities signaling their membership to a specific political or social group. The second will examine how people manufactured those pots, from clay processing to the production of the pot itself, which signals direct learning and teaching from one person to another. In combination with data on food remains, these data will thus examine the complexities of community relationships spanning a borderland zone. The research team will show that multifaceted network analyses are versatile and adaptable for studying past and contemporary borderland interactions while also providing data on an understudied past culture.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.
本论文的研究目标是研究居住在环境和文化边界内的社区与周围环境和文化的相互作用的复杂性。今天的人类通过全球信息流、贸易和世界各地的人员流动日益相互联系。随着人们跨越国界,重新谈判自己的身份,现代世界面临着文化和种族边界的模糊,考古学家们发现,纵观历史,文化边界并不像之前定义的那样僵化。很难概括和定义“有凝聚力的”文化单位,因为即使在任何给定的社区内,人们的生活方式也存在细微差别。通常,位于任何边界的社区都被视为不那么复杂或不那么重要,仅仅是因为他们生活在人工绘制单元边缘的农村地区。考古学是通过物质遗迹研究人类文化的学科,它开辟了一条新的途径,有助于理解生活在假想的边境地区内的人们与周围地区的人们之间的相互作用。本研究将这一空间概念化为社区关系的网络,以便通过逐渐而不是僵化的边界来理解连接。这反过来将让研究人员更准确地了解过去和现代世界中的社区是如何互动的,而不考虑边界位置。研究团队将使用社会网络分析(SNA)来检查位于环境和看似文化的边界内和周围的社区之间的关系。研究人员分析了Neosho人和他们的邻居。Neosho社区居住在俄克拉荷马州东北部的Ozark高原。像今天的许多俄克拉荷马人一样,Neosho社区占据了两个生态截然不同的地区的边缘:大平原和东部林地。他们不仅发展了技术和社会实践,以应对其环境的独特挑战,而且当他们与这个边疆地区以外的其他群体接触时,他们还谈判了多种文化世界。对陶瓷制造和设计的大型区域网络分析将在两个层面上描绘出Neosho社区和他们的邻居之间的这些关系。第一个将考察人们如何装饰他们的陶器,在设计上的相似之处往往与社区相对应,表明他们是特定政治或社会群体的成员。第二个将考察人们是如何制造这些陶罐的,从粘土加工到陶罐本身的生产,这标志着从一个人到另一个人的直接学习和教学。结合食物残留物的数据,这些数据将因此检查跨越边境地区的社区关系的复杂性。研究团队将展示多方面的网络分析是多才多艺的,适用于研究过去和当代的边界相互作用,同时还提供关于过去未被研究的文化的数据。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
