John Speth and Katherine Spielmann’s 1983 article “Energy Source, Protein Metabolism, and Hunter-Gatherer Subsistence Strategies” has provoked substantial research and debate during the past four decades. Their study has led to new insights concerning hunting and fishing, plant foraging and management, land tenure, and human health. In so doing, it has helped us challenge a number of orthodoxies in anthropological archaeology. In this paper I re-introduce the original article and then follow with a discussion of archaeological cases that reflect some of its wider impacts.

蛋白质代谢和考古记录：对古代生存策略的影响

John Speth 和 Katherine Spielmann 1983 年的文章“能量来源、蛋白质代谢和狩猎采集者生存策略”在过去四年中引发了大量研究和争论。他们的研究带来了关于狩猎和捕鱼、植物觅食和管理、土地使用权和人类健康的新见解。通过这样做，它帮助我们挑战了人类学考古学中的一些正统观念。在本文中，我重新介绍了原始文章，然后讨论了反映其更广泛影响的考古案例。
