La datación y el contexto de los grabados rupestres en el sur de África
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|March 23, 1979
Resumen
Los grabados rupestres sudafricanos, a menudo encontrados en sitios al aire libre, se estudiaron utilizando un enfoque espacial multiscala. El arte animal naturalista alcanzó su punto máximo durante los climas más húmedos, mientras que los diseños geométricos surgieron más tarde con condiciones más secas y la llegada de animales domesticados.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Arqueología Arqueología.
- Paleoclimatología Paleoclimatología
- La historia del arte, la historia del arte.
Sus antecedentes:
- El arte rupestre es un desafío hasta la fecha debido a la falta de contextos sellados.
- Los grabados rupestres al aire libre de Sudáfrica presentan dificultades de datación y contextualización.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Hasta la fecha, los grabados rupestres sudafricanos.
- Para correlacionar los estilos de grabado con los cambios ambientales y sociales.
- Para entender la identidad de los antiguos grabadores.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis espacial multiscala de la técnica y el tema.
- Análisis del contenido de la fauna.
- Patrones geoarqueológicos y historia de los asentamientos.
- Contexto etnoarqueológico. contexto etnoarqueológico.
Principales resultados:
- Los grabados de animales naturalistas se correlacionan con períodos más húmedos y cálidos (3200 2500 y 2250 1800 años BP).
- Los grabados más antiguos pueden superar los 4000 años BP.
- Los diseños geométricos se hicieron prominentes después de 1300 años BP durante climas más secos.
Conclusiones:
- La datación e interpretación del arte rupestre se puede lograr a través de estudios espaciales y contextuales integrados.
- Los estilos de grabado reflejan los cambios climáticos y las interacciones culturales, como la introducción de animales domésticos.
- Este estudio proporciona información sobre los entornos pasados, la cronología y la identidad de las antiguas poblaciones sudafricanas.

02:56The Fossil Record
The fossil record documents only a small fraction of all organisms that have ever inhabited Earth. Fossilization is a rare process, and most organisms never become fossils. Moreover, the fossil record only exhibits fossils that have been discovered. Nevertheless, sedimentary rock fossils of long-lived, abundant, hard-bodied organisms dominate the fossil record. These fossils offer valuable information, such as an organism's physical form, behavior, and age. Studying the fossil record helps...
01:26Bone Markings
Bones have various surface features that help form joints and attach to other soft tissues. Depending on the function, bone markings are categorized into articulating projections, processes for attachment, depressions, and openings.
Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

01:15Quarrying of Stone
Quarrying is the process of extracting stone from a quarry, where specialized techniques are employed to remove large blocks of stone safely and efficiently. This process can involve controlled explosions or more precision-oriented methods such as cutting and drilling.
One common method involves using a diamond belt saw to cut large blocks from the quarry face. These blocks can be about 50 feet long and 12 feet high. After the initial vertical cut, drilling is performed at the base of the block.

02:48Radioactive Decay and Radiometric Dating
Radioactivity is a spontaneous disintegration of an unstable nuclide and is a random process, as all the nuclei in the sample do not decay simultaneously. The number of disintegrations per unit time is called the activity (A), which is directly proportional to the number of nuclei in the sample. The decay constant (λ) is an average probability of decay per nucleus in unit time.
04:49Robbers Cave
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension could be...
01:09Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
