Abacwaningi e-UCL Institute of Archaeology bathole amanye amathuluzi amatshe amakhulu wangaphambi komlando waseBrithani.
Ukumba, okwenzeka e-Kent futhi kwanikezwa umsebenzi ngaphambi kokuthuthukiswa kweSikole se-Maritime Academy e-Frindsbury, kwembula izinto zobuciko zangaphambi komlando endaweni ejulile ye-Ice Age egcinwe egqumeni ngaphezu kwe-Medway Valley.
Abacwaningi, abavela ku-UCL Archaeology South-East, bathola izinto zobuciko zamatshe ze-800 ezicatshangwa ukuthi zingaphezu kweminyaka engu-300,000 ubudala, zingcwatshwe emigodini egcwele i-sinkhole kanye nesiteshi somfula wasendulo, okuchazwe ocwaningweni lwabo, eshicilelwe ku-Internet Archaeology.
Phakathi kwezinto ezitholakele kwakunemimese emibili emikhulu kakhulu ye-flint echazwa ngokuthi “ama-handax amakhulu”. Ama-Handax ama-artifacts amatshe aqoshiwe, noma "aqotshiwe," ezinhlangothini zombili ukuze kukhiqizwe umumo olinganayo onomphetho omude wokusika. Abacwaningi bakholelwa ukuthi lolu hlobo lwethuluzi ngokuvamile lwalubanjwa ngesandla futhi kungenzeka ukuthi lwalusetshenziselwa ukuhlaba izilwane nokusika inyama. Ama-handax amakhulu amabili atholakala endaweni ye-Maritime anomumo ohlukile onephuzu elicijile elide nelisebenza kahle, kanye nesisekelo esijiyile kakhulu.
Umvubukuli Omkhulu u-Letty Ingrey (I-UCL Institute of Archaeology), uthe, “Sichaza lawa mathuluzi 'njengamadondoshiya' uma esengaphezu kuka-22cm ubude futhi sinamabili kulolu hlu losayizi. Enkulu kunazo zonke, eyi-29.5cm ubude, ingenye yezinde kunazo zonke ezake zatholakala eBrithani. ‘Ama-handax amakhulu’ afana nalawa ngokuvamile atholakala esifundeni saseThames naseMedway futhi asukela eminyakeni engaphezu kuka-300,000 XNUMX edlule.”
“Lawa ma-handax amakhulu kangangokuthi kunzima ukucabanga ukuthi abebanjwa kalula futhi asetshenziswe kanjani. Mhlawumbe bafeza umsebenzi ongasebenzi kakhulu noma ongokomfanekiso kunamanye amathuluzi, ukubonakaliswa okucacile kwamandla nekhono. Nakuba njengamanje, asinaso isiqiniseko sokuthi kungani amathuluzi amakhulu kangaka ayenziwa, noma ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo zabantu basendulo ezaziwenza, le sayithi inikeza ithuba lokuphendula le mibuzo ethokozisayo.”
Lesi sizinda kucatshangwa ukuthi sisesikhathini sangaphambi komlando waseBrithani lapho abantu baseNeanderthal namasiko abo baqala ukuvela futhi kungenzeka babelane ngendawo nezinye izinhlobo zezilwane zakuqala. I-Medway Valley ngalesi sikhathi bekuyoba indawo yasendle yamagquma anezinkuni nezigodi zemifula, ehlala izinyamazane ezibomvu namahhashi, kanye nezilwane ezincelisayo ezingajwayelekile ezifana nendlovu eqondile nebhubesi engasekho.
Nakuba okutholwe ngemivubukulo yalesi sikhathi, kuhlanganise nenye 'i-handaxe' ebabazekayo, kutholakale e-Medway Valley ngaphambilini, kungokokuqala ngqa ukuthi kutholakale njengengxenye yokumbiwa okukhulu, okuhlinzeka ngethuba lokuqoqa imininingwane eyengeziwe izimpilo zabenzi bazo.
UDkt. Matt Pope (UCL Institute of Archaeology), wathi, “Ukumbiwa e-Maritime Academy kusinike ithuba elibaluleke kakhulu lokufunda ukuthi yonke indawo ye-Ice Age yathuthukiswa kanjani eminyakeni engaphezu kwengxenye yesigidi edlule. Uhlelo lokuhlaziya lwesayensi, olubandakanya ochwepheshe be-UCL nezinye izikhungo zase-UK, manje luzosisiza ukuthi siqonde ukuthi kungani isayithi lalibalulekile kubantu basendulo nokuthi izinto zobuciko zamatshe, okuhlanganisa 'ama-handax amakhulu' zibasize kanjani bazivumelanise nezinselele ze-Ice. Izimo zeminyaka yobudala. "
Ithimba locwaningo manje lisebenzela ukuhlonza nokutadisha ama-artifact atholiwe ukuze liqonde kangcono ukuthi zadalwa ubani nokuthi zasetshenziselwa ini.
Umvubukuli Omkhulu u-Giles Dawkes (I-UCL Institute of Archaeology) uhola umsebenzi wokuthola okwesibili okubalulekile okuvela kule ndawo—amathuna aseRoma, ahlala okungenani iminyaka eyikota yesigidi kamuva kunomsebenzi we-Ice Age. Abantu abangcwatshwe lapha phakathi kwekhulu lokuqala nelesine AD kungenzeka ukuthi babeyizakhamuzi zevillage eseduze okungenzeka ukuthi yayingamamitha angama-850 eningizimu.
Ithimba lithole amathambo abantu abangu-25, abangu-13 kubo bashisiwe. Abayisishiyagalolunye kwabangcwatshiwe batholakale nezimpahla noma izinto zabo siqu okubalwa namasongo, kanti abane bangcwatshwa emabhokisini okhuni. Amaqoqo ezitsha zobumba namathambo ezilwane atholakala eduze cishe ahlobene nemikhuba yedili ngesikhathi somngcwabo.
Yize izakhiwo nezakhiwo zamaRoma zimbiwe kakhulu, amathuna ngokomlando abengagxilwa kakhulu ngabavubukuli futhi ukutholakala kwalesi siza kunikeza ulwazi olusha mayelana namasiko namasiko okungcwaba amaRoma ahlala kule villa kanye nalabo abaseduze. idolobha laseRochester.
UJody Murphy, uMqondisi Wezemfundo e-Think Schools Academy Trust uthe, “Thina, e-Maritime Academy kanye ne-Think Schools Academy Trust, sizizwa sinenhlanhla enkulu ngokuba yingxenye yalokhu okutholakele okumangalisayo. Siyaziqhenya kakhulu ngokuxhumana kwethu nomphakathi wendawo kanye nesifunda, ngobuningi bezikole zethu ezixhumene nomlando we-Medway. Sibheke ngabomvu ukusebenzisa leli thuba eliyingqayizivele lokufundisa intsha yakithi ngalezi zinto ezitholakele, sidale ifa elihlala njalo lalabo abeza ngaphambi kwethu.”
