The Archaeological Sequence from Sipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico

During February and March, 1962, excavations were conducted at Sipolite, near Puerto angel, Oaxaca, Mexico. The purpose of the excavation was to establish a cultural sequence and to study its interconnections with other pasts of Mesoamerica and to investigate possible relationships with central and South America. This report examines several Mesoamerican ceramic traditions through both a descriptive and statistical analysis. The report is a revised version of a dissertation presented in 1965 to the Department of Anthropology, University of Wisconsin, in partial fulfillment of PhD requirements by the author. The Archives of Archaeology Series is a 29-volume set jointly published by the University of Wisconsin Press and the Society for American Archaeology on opaque microcards, a now obsolete format. The Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University of Wisconsin—La Crosse has digitized the original opaque microcards and made the digital copies available through tDAR. More information on the process of digitizing the series can be found in Joseph Tiffany’s 2012 article entitled "Digitizing the Archives of Archaeology Series" in the SAA Archaeological Record (http://onlinedigeditions.com/publication/?i=113770).1962年2月至3月，考古团队于墨西哥瓦哈卡州天使港附近的西波莱特（Sipolite）遗址开展发掘工作。本次发掘旨在确立该遗址的文化序列，探究其与中美洲（Mesoamerica）其他史前文化的内在关联，并考察其与中美洲及南美洲地区可能存在的文化联系。本报告通过描述性分析与统计学分析相结合的方法，对若干中美洲陶瓷传统展开研究。本报告为作者1965年提交给威斯康星大学人类学系的学位论文修订版，用于部分满足其哲学博士（PhD）学位的申请要求。 《考古档案丛书（Archives of Archaeology Series）》是一套共计29卷的出版物，由威斯康星大学出版社与美国考古学会联合发行，载体为现已淘汰的不透明微缩胶片。威斯康星大学拉克罗斯分校的密西西比河谷考古中心已将原始不透明微缩胶片完成数字化处理，并通过考古数据资源库（tDAR）公开数字副本。关于该丛书的数字化流程的详细信息，可查阅约瑟夫·蒂凡尼（Joseph Tiffany）2012年发表于《SAA考古记录（SAA Archaeological Record）》的文章《数字化<考古档案丛书>》，其链接为http://onlinedigeditions.com/publication/?i=113770。
