ABSTRACT This paper presents new excavation data and new radiometric dates for Jebel Moya, south-central Sudan. These data suggest revisions to previous chronological understandings of the site. New excavations, initiated in 2017, show a longer, more continuous occupation of the site than has been previously recognised. Archaeozoological and archaeobotanical analyses provide evidence for domesticated taxa. Archaeobotanical evidence is dominated by domesticated sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), radiocarbon dated to c. 2550–2210 BC. Faunal remains include cattle and goat/sheep. A late third-millennium BC date on the human skeleton excavated in the 2017 season also shows that mortuary activity began early in the site’s history, contemporary with domesticated faunal and botanical remains. These initial results indicate the long-term association of the site with pastoralism and agriculture and with environmental change. Jebel Moya’s continued potential to serve as a chronological and cultural reference point for future studies in south-central Sudan and the eastern Sahel is reinforced.

Jebel Moya在萨赫勒东部地区意义重大的新发现
摘要本文介绍了苏丹中南部杰贝勒·莫亚(Jebel Moya)的新开挖数据和新的辐射测量日期。这些数据建议对站点以前的时间顺序进行修订。2017年开始的新发掘表明,该场地的占用时间比以前认可的更长,更连续。考古学和考古学分析为驯化的分类群提供了证据。考古植物学证据主要是驯化的高粱(高粱双色),放射性碳可追溯至c。公元前2550–2210年。动物的遗体包括牛和山羊/绵羊。公元前2017年季节挖掘出的人类骨骼上的公元前三千年晚期也表明,葬活动始于该遗址的历史早期,具有家养动物和植物遗迹的当代特征。这些初步结果表明该地点与放牧,农业和环境变化具有长期联系。杰贝勒·莫亚(Jebel Moya)在苏丹南部中部和萨赫勒东部地区作为未来的时间和文化参考点的持续潜力得到了加强。
