Umhume wangaphambi komlando ogcwele amanzi eDominican Republic usuphenduke "inqolobane" ngesimemezelo sabavubukuli base-Indiana University sokutholakala kwamathuluzi amatshe, ugebhezi lwekhanda oluncane lwe-primate olusesimweni esiphawulekayo, kanye nezinzipho, umhlathi kanye namanye amathambo ezinhlobo eziningana. kwamabheja.
Okutholakele kunweba ngezinkulungwane zeminyaka ububanzi bophenyo buholele u-Charles Beeker, umqondisi we-Academic Diving and Underwater Science Programs eSikoleni Sezempilo sika-IU Bloomington, Imfundo Yomzimba Nezokungcebeleka, kanye nethimba lakhe lezinhlaka ezahlukene labahlanganyeli. Ukugxila kwabacwaningi bekusenkathini eminyakeni engu-500 nje edlule lapho i-Old World ne-New World kuhlangana okokuqala ngemva kokuba u-Christopher Columbus ehlele ogwini lwase-Caribbean - kanye nendaba ethakazelisayo yezigebengu. Lokhu kutholakala okuyivelakancane kulindeleke ukuthi kunikeze imininingwane ngezakhamuzi zakuqala zama-Greater Antilles kanye nezilwane ezihlangabezane nazo.
“Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, angizange ngiwakholwe amehlo ami njengoba ngibuka ngayinye yalezi zinto ezimangalisayo ezatholwa ngaphansi kwamanzi,” kusho uBeeker. “Amathambo ezilwane ayecishe ashabalala kwangimangaza ngempela, kodwa lokho okungase kube indawo yokucima umlilo lapho kuhlala khona umuntu okokuqala kulesi siqhingi kubonakala kukuhle kakhulu ukuba kube yiqiniso. Kodwa manje njengoba i-lithics (amathuluzi amatshe) isiqinisekisiwe, angisakwazi ukulinda ukuqondisa olunye uhambo lwangaphansi kwamanzi kulokho okungase kube enye yezindawo ezibalulekile zangaphambi komlando kulo lonke elaseCaribbean.”
UMFANEKISO: UCharles Beeker, kwesokunxele, kanye noGeoffrey Conrad bahlola amanye amathambo kanye ne-lithics, okuthuthelwe elebhu yesayensi engaphansi kwamanzi kaBeeker ukuze kuqhutshekwe nocwaningo.

U-Beeker nabacwaningi u-Jessica Keller no-Harley McDonald bathola amathuluzi namathambo emanzini ahlanzekile 28- kuya ku-34-izinyawo ekujuleni emhumeni okuthiwa i-Padre Nuestro. Eduze, nangaphansi kwamanzi emgedeni ofanayo, kutholwe izinto zobuciko zakamuva ze-Taino. AmaTaino ayengabantu bokuqala boMdabu baseMelika ukuhlangana nabaseYurophu. U-Beeker nozakwabo bebelokhu becwila kulo mhume othile, ohlezi ngaphansi kwe-limestone bluff futhi ufinyeleleka kuphela ngemva kokucwiliswa echibini elincane, kusukela ngo-1996 njengoba befunda ukusetshenziswa kwawo njengendawo yokuqoqa amanzi yase-Taino.
UGeoffrey Conrad, umqondisi weMathers Museum of World Culture e-IU Bloomington kanye noprofesa we-anthropology, uthe amathuluzi alinganiselwa eminyakeni engu-4,000 kuya ku-6,500. Amathambo angase abe neminyaka esukela ku-4,000 kanye ne-10,000 ubudala. Nakuba amathambo ebheja engavamile, azi ngezinye izingebhezi ezimbalwa kuphela ezitholakala eCaribbean.
“Ayikho indawo engiyaziyo enama-sloth, ama-primates kanye namathuluzi amatshe enziwe abantu ndawonye ngokuhlangana okuhle, okuqinile ngesikhathi esifanayo,” kusho uConrad, ophinde abe ngusekela-sekela-sekela wocwaningo e-IU Bloomington. “Njengamanje kubukeka njengengcebo engaba khona yedatha engasisiza silungise ubudlelwano phakathi kwabantu nezilwane esezingasekho e-Greater Antilles. Lesi sizindalwazi sikufanele ngempela uphenyo olukhulu.”
UMFANEKISO: I-Anthropologist ye-IU uGeoffrey Conrad uxoxa ngamathuluzi amatshe, ugebhezi lwezilwane ezingavamile kanye nengxenye yamathambo ebheja atholakala emhumeni ogcwele amanzi waseDominican Republic ngabacwaningi abavela eHhovisi...

Amathuluzi amathathu amatshe nezinsalela, ezenziwe nge-basalt ne-limestone, kwahlolwa izazi ze-anthropologists ze-IU ezaziwa emhlabeni wonke uNicholas Toth noKathy Schick, abatshele abacwaningi ukuthi amatshe alingana nesundu abonisa izimpawu ezicacile zobuciko bomuntu. U-Toth no-Schick bangabaqondisi ababambisene be-Center for Research into the Anthropological Foundations of Technology (CRAFT) Stone Age Institute e-Bloomington.
Isazi se-IU primate uKevin Hunt utshele abacwaningi ukuthi inkawu kungenzeka ukuthi iyinkawu ekhalayo engasekho eCaribbean. UKeller uthe amathambo ebheja aqhamuka kumabheja ayisithupha, futhi okungenzeka ayisikhombisa futhi ahlanganisa izinhlobo eziningana, okuhlanganisa eyodwa elingana nebhere elimnyama nenye elingana nenja enkulu. Uthe ugebhezi lwekhanda lezinyamazana luhluke kakhulu kunolunye ugebhezi lwama-primate atholakala e-Caribbean.
“Zimbalwa kakhulu izigebhezi zezilwane ezitholakala eCaribbean,” kusho yena. “Ezinye, ezatholakala ngasekupheleni kwawo-1800 nasekuqaleni kwawo-1900, zikhulu ngokuphindwe kathathu. Sithole imvume yokuletha ugebhezi eNyuvesi yase-Indiana ukuze siqhubeke nokufunda. Konke kujabulisa kakhulu.”
UConrad uthe i-lithics namathambo, afikile elabhorethri ye-Beeker eSikoleni se-HPER, awazange nje andise uhlelo lokucwaninga esikhathini esidlule kodwa futhi endabeni ekhathazayo emhlabeni wonke - ukushabalala kwezinyoni nezilwane zendabuko lapho kufika abantu. Amabheja aseCaribbean aphakathi kwezinhlobo eziningi ezashabalala ngemva nje kokuba khona kwabantu.
Abacwaningi abaneHhovisi Lesayensi Yamanzi Esikoleni Se-HPER basebenzisana eduze nama-ejensi nezinhlangano zamasiko, ezomlando, nezokuvakasha e-Dominican Republic ukuze bavikele futhi bahlole amagugu ezwe nomlando wemvelo. U-Keller uthe intshisekelo yendawo kulokhu okutholakele ibe yinhle kakhulu. Umgede lapho zitholwe khona, oyingxenye ye-aquifer kanye nohlelo lomgede ophakela amanzi ezindaweni zokungcebeleka eziseduze, uvaliwe ngezinhloso zocwaningo.
“Kunentshisekelo enkulu ekuyivikeleni, ekutheni ucwaningo luqhubeke,” kusho uKeller. “Ozakwethu babejabule ngaphambi kokuthi sithole inkawu.”
Ucwaningo lwenziwa ngokubambisana ne-Secretariat of State for Culture ngeHhovisi Lamagugu Angaphansi Kwamanzi kanye neMuseum of Dominican Man, Secretariat of State for Tourism, kanye ne-Secretariat of State for Environment and Natural Resources.
