商品描述

This book provides an overview of the archaeological sites and cultural assemblages in the world and presents an archaeological database that has been established through two large-scale research projects conducted between 2010 and 2022. The projects were Replacement of the Neanderthals by Modern Humans (2010-2015) and The Cultural History of PaleoAsia (2016-2022), both of which were carried out with the aid of the Japanese Government. They deal with multi-disciplinary studies of the demise of more archaic hominins and the survival of anatomically modern humans. Although the database is designated PaleoAsiaDB, which may imply a focus on Asia, it incorporates the dataset collected from Africa and Europe by the Replacement of the Neanderthals by Modern Humans project. PaleoAsiaDB provides a list of more than 3,300 sites and 7,600 cultural assemblages of the Middle and Upper Paleolithic (Middle and Late Stone Age) of the Eastern Hemisphere as of 2020. This database is the first attempt ofits kind to document the related sites of 200-20ka. The full version of the database is available at the University Museum on the University of Tokyo homepage.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了全球考古遺址和文化集合的概述,並介紹了一個通過2010年至2022年間進行的兩個大型研究項目建立的考古數據庫。這些項目分別是「現代人取代尼安德特人」(2010-2015)和「古亞細亞的文化歷史」(2016-2022),均在日本政府的協助下進行。這些研究涉及對更古老的人類滅絕及解剖上現代人類生存的多學科研究。儘管該數據庫被命名為PaleoAsiaDB,這可能暗示其重點在於亞洲,但它也包含了「現代人取代尼安德特人」項目從非洲和歐洲收集的數據集。PaleoAsiaDB提供了截至2020年東半球中期和晚期舊石器時代(中石器時代和晚石器時代)超過3,300個遺址和7,600個文化集合的清單。這個數據庫是首次嘗試記錄20000至2000年前相關遺址的工作。數據庫的完整版本可在東京大學的校園博物館網站上獲得。

作者簡介

Yoshihiro Nishiaki, who received his Ph.D. from University College London, is a professor of prehistory at the University of Tokyo and director of its University Museum. His research involves the archaeology of West and Central Asia mainly through technological analyses of flaked stone artifacts. He has directed numerous field investigations in these areas, including Paleolithic and Neolithic excavations in Syria, Turkey, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan. The PaleoAsia, which resulted in the construction of a database called PaleoAsiaDB, is one of his recent large-scale projects supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan. He has served on the editorial board or scientific committee of a number of international associations, such as the International Union for Quaternary Research and Association Paléorient. Yasuhisa Kondo is an associate professor and head of the Institutional Research Unit at the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN), Kyoto, Japan. He received a Ph.D. in archaeology from the University of Tokyo in 2010. Since then, he has managed the PaleoAsia DB for the Replacement of Neanderthals by Modern Humans (RNMH) and PaleoAsia projects. He has conducted archaeological fieldworks in the Sultanate of Oman for more than 15 years. He is also interested in the science of team science (SciTS). He serves as a member of the Science Council of Japan and the Young Academy of Japan and is also a visiting researcher of the National Institute of Science and Technology Policy (NISTEP), Japan.
