We analyzed the ceramic assemblage from a re-excavated section of Tse Dura rockshelter (KA4RS1) in central Nigeria’s Ushongo area to understand the archaeological sequence of human occupation and cultural changes. The analysis, focusing on motifs, forms, and petrography, identifies three phases of human occupation. The petrographic results, in particular, revealed three main fabric groups—TD-AC1, TD-AC2, and TD-AC3—all of which contain inclusions that are indicative of clay sources local to the Tse Dura rockshelter region. The first two groups, TD-AC1 and TD-AC2, contain similar inclusions; however, the third group, TD-AC3, exhibited slight variability. The variations in fabrics and inclusions are most probably related to the potters’ choice of different techniques and unique raw materials for specific vessels.

尼日利亚中部贝努埃州Tse Dura(Indyer Mbakuv)Rockshelter的陶瓷组合

我们分析了尼日利亚中部Ushongo地区Tse Dura岩石棚(KA4RS1)的一个重新发掘的部分中的陶瓷组合,以了解人类占领和文化变化的考古序列。该分析着重于图案,形式和岩石学,确定了人类占领的三个阶段。岩石学结果特别显示出三个主要的织物组-TD-AC1,TD-AC2和TD-AC3,所有这些组均包含有夹杂物,这些夹杂物指示了Tse Dura岩棚地区的粘土来源。前两组TD-AC1和TD-AC2包含相似的内含物。但是,第三组TD-AC3表现出轻微的变异性。织物和内含物的变化很可能与陶工对特定容器的不同技术选择和独特原材料有关。
