Luxmanda (original) (raw)
Luxmanda is an archaeological site located in the north-central Babati District of Tanzania. It was discovered in 2012. Excavations in the area have identified it as the largest and southernmost settlement site of the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic (SPN), an archaeologically-recognized pastoralist culture centered in eastern Africa during a time period known as the Pastoral Neolithic (ca. 5000–1200 BP). Radiocarbon dating of charcoal, human collagen, and organic matter in ceramic artifacts indicate that Luxmanda was occupied between 3,200 to 2,900 years ago. Ceramics (of the Narosura type), lithics, worked bone, ivory, and ostrich eggshell assemblages in addition to livestock and human bones have been recovered from the Luxmanda site. The people of Luxmanda were highly specialized pastoralists

| dbo:abstract | Luxmanda is an archaeological site located in the north-central Babati District of Tanzania. It was discovered in 2012. Excavations in the area have identified it as the largest and southernmost settlement site of the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic (SPN), an archaeologically-recognized pastoralist culture centered in eastern Africa during a time period known as the Pastoral Neolithic (ca. 5000–1200 BP). Radiocarbon dating of charcoal, human collagen, and organic matter in ceramic artifacts indicate that Luxmanda was occupied between 3,200 to 2,900 years ago. Ceramics (of the Narosura type), lithics, worked bone, ivory, and ostrich eggshell assemblages in addition to livestock and human bones have been recovered from the Luxmanda site. The people of Luxmanda were highly specialized pastoralists, relying on cattle, sheep, goats, and donkeys for subsistence. Their linguistic affiliation is unknown, but some historical linguists have speculated that the peoples of the SPN spoke Cushitic languages. The Pastoral Neolithic was followed by the Pastoral Iron Age and the Bantu Expansion. (en) Luxmanda est un site archéologique situé dans le district de au centre-nord de la Tanzanie, découvert en 2012. Les fouilles ont permis d'identifier ainsi le plus grand et le plus méridional des sites appartenant au Néolithique pastoral de savane (NPS), une culture pastorale du centre de l'Afrique de l'Est qui exista durant la période appelée Néolithique pastoral (env. 5000–1200 AP). Les datations par le carbone 14 du charbon de bois, du collagène humain et des matières organiques contenues dans les artefacts en céramique indiquent que Luxmanda fut occupé entre 3 200 et 2 900 ans auparavant. Des céramiques (du type Narosura), des outils en pierre, des os travaillés, de l'ivoire et des œufs d'autruche ont été découverts. Les habitants de Luxmanda étaient des bergers pastoralistes, qui dépendaient des bovins, des ovins, des caprins et des ânes pour leur subsistance. On ne connaît pas leur langue, mais les historiens de la linguistique pensent qu'ils parlaient une langue couchitique. Le néolithique pastoral fut suivi de l'âge du fer pastoral et de l'expansion bantoue. (fr) |
