Abstract：
Few studies have combined the analysis of use-wear traces, traceology, and the proteomic taxonomic identification method Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS). Traceology provides information on the usage, in this case, of bone artefacts, while ZooMS allows for taxonomic identifications where diagnostic features are otherwise gone. The approaches therefore offer complementary information on bone artefacts, allowing for insights into species selection strategies in bone tool manufacture and their subsequent use. Here we present a case study of 20 bone artefacts, mainly bone points, from the Early Neolithic cave site of Coro Trasito located on the southern slope of the Central Pyrenees. Hitherto, studies on Early Neolithic bone artefacts from the Iberian Peninsula have suggested based on morphological assessments that Ovis aries/Capra hircus constituted the majority of the bone material selected for bone tool production. However, the taxonomic identification in this study suggests that, at this site, Cervidae was selected equally to that of O. aries/C. hircus. Furthermore, bone artefacts made from Cervidae specimens seem to be utilised in a wider range of artefact types compared to O. aries/C. hircus. Coro Trasito\'s bone artefact species composition is probably site-specific to some degree, however, morphological assessments of bone artefacts might not be representative and could be biased towards certain species. Therefore, research on bone artefacts\' usage could possibly gain new insights by implementing ZooMS in combination with traceology.
摘要：
很少有研究结合使用磨损痕迹的分析，示踪学,和蛋白质组学分类学鉴定方法动物考古学质谱(ZooMS)。示踪学提供了使用信息，在这种情况下,骨伪影，而ZooMS允许在诊断功能消失的情况下进行分类识别。因此，这些方法提供了关于骨骼伪影的补充信息，允许深入了解骨骼工具制造中的物种选择策略及其后续使用。在这里，我们提出了一个20个骨伪影的案例研究，主要是骨点，来自位于比利牛斯山脉中部南坡的CoroTrasito新石器时代早期洞穴遗址。到目前为止，对伊比利亚半岛新石器时代早期骨文物的研究表明，根据形态学评估，Ovisaries/Caprahircus构成了用于骨工具生产的大部分骨材料。然而,这项研究的分类学鉴定表明，在这个网站上，子宫颈的选择与O.aries/C相同。hircus.此外，与O.aries/C相比，由子宫颈标本制成的骨人工制品似乎可用于更广泛的人工制品类型。hircus.CoroTrasito\的骨人工制品物种组成可能在某种程度上是特定于地点的，然而,骨伪影的形态学评估可能没有代表性，并且可能偏向某些物种。因此,通过将ZooMS与示踪学相结合，对骨伪影使用的研究可能会获得新的见解。
