Почему в Северной Америке (территории США...

Фотография andy4675 andy4675 05.12 2017

Дело не в географической принадлежности, а в культурной. И текущая тема посвящена не ВООБЩЕ цивилизациям континента Северная Америка, а конкретно факту того, что в Северной Америке (то есть у индейцев в США и Канаде) до прибытия белого человека, по мнению Алисы так и не сформировалась цивилизация.

 

Если бы Алиса подразумевала и Мезоамерику, то получается, что Алиса - невежда, которая не знает о цивилизациях ацтеков, майя, тольтеков, запотеков, ольмеков и их достижениях. А это, уверен - совершенно не так. Короче говоря: тема не посвящена отсутствию Мезоамериканских цивилизаций. Она посвящена отсутствию цивилизаций у индейцев в Канаде и США.

 

В Энциклопедии Британника существует категория "Североамериканские индейцы". Там к ней отнесены только племена, живущие на территории США и Канады (эскимосы (инуиты), шоуни, микмаки, гуроны, мохоки, делавары, ирокезы, апачи, команчи, сиу, кри, чоктау, чейены, семинолы, шошоны, могикане, кроу, чиксоу, шошоны, блакфуты, оджибва, арикара, хопи, навахо, паони, индейцы Великих Равнин):

В культурном плане индейцы Северной Америки как правило отделяются от индейцев Центральной Америки и Мексики. Такая интерпретация - самая обычная:

Речь идёт о старой научной традиции. Североамериканские индейцы, или индейцы Северной Америки - это термин, с конкретным значением и содержанием. Когда в специальной научной литературе говорится о культурах, цивилизациях, племенах Северной Америки - всегда подразумеваются культуры, цивилизации и племена живущие в северной части континента - в Канаде и США. Если же авторы хотят поговорить о родственных между собой цивилизациях ацтеков и майя и их корнях, вкупе друг с другом, то как правило они используют термин цивилизации Мезоамерики. Цивилизации Центральной Америки и Мексики (то есть Мезоамериканские цивилизации) - ближе уровнем достижений (а отчасти и менталитетом) к Андской цивилизации, нежели к цивилизации индейцев Северной Америки.

 

Деление Северной Америки и Мезоамерики имеет корни как в литературе:

 

https://www.amazon.c...g/dp/0812216024

 

Так и в музейных экспозициях (например в Британском музее):

 

https://www.khanacad...an-introduction

 

В некоторых случаях по той или иной причине учёные говорят о комплексе всех культур Североамериканского континента. В таких случаях они специально оговариваются, что принимают во внимание все цивилизации континента - как североамериканские, так и мезоамериканские:

 

This article briefly considers early monumental constructions in North America, including Mesoamerica

 

http://www.tandfonli...70X.2013.794591

 

В некоторых случаях учёные также разделяют и саму Мезоамерику на части: южная её часть в таком случае именуется Центральной Америкой, а северная часть - Мексикой. Иногда имеет место и дальнейшая детализация - на государства (Гондурас, Гватемала, Сальвадор, Никарагуа, Коста-Рика, Панама), или провинции (например штаты Мексики) или даже на более мелкие регионы.

В книге "Historical Dictionary of Early North America" (серия "Historical Dictionaries of Ancient Civilizations and Historical Eras, No. 15", Cameron B. Wesson, изд. The Scarecrow Press, Inc., 2005 год) не упоминаются ни ацтеки, ни майя. Правда, упоминаются ацтекоязычные племена Северной Америки проживающие на территории США, например - хопи и шошоны, а также коротко (6 строк) говорится о культурах Месоамерики в целом. О культурах Большого Бассейна, на юго-западе США, есть такая статья, например:

 

GREAT BASIN CULTURE AREA. Geographic area composed of the
various local environments that lie between the Sierra Nevada and
Rocky Mountains in the present-day states of Nevada, Utah, western
Colorado, southeastern Oregon, southern Idaho, western Wyoming,
eastern California, as well as northern Arizona. This region is characterized
by extreme variations in altitude, rainfall, temperature, and
vegetation. During the late Pleistocene, it had greater rainfall and
possessed a greater density of plant and animal species. Archaeological
evidence of Paleoindian occupation indicates that camels, wild
horses, and mammoth were common in this region. By 10,000 B.P.
(8000 B.C.), local environments resembled more closely their modern
counterparts.
Native American groups living in the Great Basin were generally
small and seasonally mobile. Some groups in the southeast portion of
the Great Basin practiced limited horticulture during the period from
1000 to 600 B.P. (A.D. 1000–1350). These peoples, commonly referred
to as Fremont and Virgin River Anasazi, cultivated maize, beans, and
squash, and lived in sedentary communities. However, climate change
in the region forced them to adopt a more mobile lifestyle. During the
historic period, the Great Basin was home to the Chemehuevi, Comanche,
Kawaiisu, Pauites, Shoshone, Utes, Washo, and other groups.
These peoples exhibited remarkable linguistic uniformity, with most
speaking closely related dialects of the Uto-Aztecan language family.

 

 

Немного интересного о заселении Великих Равнин, и о связях местного населения с мегафауной (что в этой теме уже обсуждалось, в некоторой мере):

 

GREAT PLAINS CULTURE AREA. A largely treeless grassland extending
from the Mississippi River valley west to the Rocky Moun-
tains, and south from present-day Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta
to central Texas. The earliest evidence of human occupation of
the Great Plains are Paleoindian sites (circa 12,000 B.P. [10,000
B.C.]) related to big-game hunting. By about 7500 B.P. (5500 B.C.),
regional cultural adaptations demonstrate a reduced reliance upon
megafauna (primarily bison) and an increase in foraging activities.
Between 2500 and 350 B.P. (500 B.C.–A.D. 1600), marked differences
in subsistence regimes between eastern and western Plains
groups develop, with eastern Plains groups adopting sedentary, village
agriculture. Eastern Plains peoples began to construct fortified
villages and semisubterranean earthlodges. These eastern agricultural
groups are considered ancestral to the modern Arikara, Hidatsa,
Mandan, Pawnee, Wichita, and other groups. Western Plains
groups continued as mobile foragers, and with the introduction of the
horse they became focused on bison hunting as their primary subsistence
activity. These groups became increasingly mobile, with the
tipi serving as their primary domestic structure. These nomadic
groups of the western Plains are considered ancestral to the modern
Blackfoot, Crow, Cheyenne, Comanche, Sioux (Dakota), and other
groups. Other well-known Great Plains peoples include the Comanche,
Kiowa, Sioux, Pawnee, and Blackfoot.
Many contemporary stereotypes of Native Americans are drawn
from the cultural practices of Great Plains peoples, including tipis,
feathered headdresses, and the Plains horse culture. However, many
of these practices were not long-standing regional cultural traditions,
but were brought about as a result of both direct and indirect contact
with Europeans.

 

 

 

Юто-ацтекская языковая семья:

 

UTO-AZTECAN LANGUAGE FAMILY. Family of more than 30 individual
Native American languages spoken by groups in the Great
Basin, Southwest, and Mesoamerica. Uto-Aztecan languages in
North America include Ute, Hopi, Shoshone, Nahuatl, and others.
Uto-Aztecan is traditionally divided into northern and southern
branches. The northern branch was spoken from present-day Idaho and
Oregon to southern California and Arizona, and includes Comanche,
Hopi, Northern and Southern Paiute, Ute, and Northern and Eastern
Shoshone. The southern branch was spoken in present-day Arizona and
New Mexico, into northern and central Mexico, and includes Pima,
Papago, Tarahumara, Yaqui, Cora, Huichol, and Nahuatl.

 

 

 

О шошонах:

 

SHOSHONE INDIANS. Uto-Aztecan–speaking groups of the Great
Basin, including portions of present-day Idaho, Nevada, Oregon,
Utah, and Wyoming. The Shoshone are divided into Northern and
Southern (also referred to as Western Shoshone) divisions, with these
cultural divisions exacerbated by the introduction of the horse by
Europeans. Although both groups were foragers, the Northern
Shoshone became highly mobile bison hunters and adopted cultural
practices of many Great Plains groups after the introduction of the
horse. The Southern Shoshone, however, remained small groups of
mobile foragers well into the historic period. At present there are
more than 10,000 Shoshone in Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming.

 

 

О хопи:

 

HOPI INDIANS. Uto-Aztecan–speaking western Puebloan peoples
of the American Southwest. Considered to be descendants of the prehistoric
Anasazi, the Hopi occupy a series of pueblo settlements on
mesas in northern Arizona. The oldest of these settlements is a Hopi
village named Oraibi, which has been occupied since 800 B.P. (1150
A.D.). The Hopi are sedentary agriculturalists, growing maize,
beans, squash, melons, and cotton. They are also pastoralists with a
large number of sheep. The Hopi are a matrilineal society, with a
strong matriclan structure. Hopi religious life centers on the secret
practices of individual kivas, with their most important rituals including
the use of elaborate masks and costumes for the impersonation
of kachina spirits. The Hopi continue to be recognized as outstanding
weavers, potters, and artists. At present, more than 6,000
Hopi reside in Arizona and New Mexico.

 

 

О языках индейцев:

 

LANGUAGES. At the time of first contact with Europeans, Native
American peoples of North, Central, and South America spoke more
than 1,000 distinct languages. These individual languages belong to
more than 100 unique language families, with the major groups consisting
of Aleut–Eskimo, Algonquian, Athabaskan, Caddoan, Iroquoian,
Muskogean, Penutian, Salishan, and Uto-Aztecan. One of
the major cultural impacts of European colonialism was the decline
in indigenous population and the concomitant extinction of many
Native American languages. This process of language loss was exacerbated
during the 19th century with the U.S. and Canadian governments
adopting educational policies that were designed to eliminate
native languages. Despite these earlier efforts, more than 300 languages
continue to be spoken by Native American peoples of North
America. Ongoing efforts designed to preserve Native American languages
are underway, with many focused on teaching Native American
youths their group’s traditional language.

 

 

Первый погребальный курган в Северной Америке:

 

L’ANSE AMOUR. Archaeological site in southern Labrador, Canada,
with evidence of the earliest presently known burial mound in North
America, dated to 7500 B.P. (5500 B.C.). Excavated by James Tuck,
the L’Anse Amour site is associated with the Maritime Archaic tradition,
and consists of a low, circular pile of rocks covering a child’s
grave. At the time of the interment, the body was covered with ocher
and wrapped in skins, and a variety of grave goods were placed in
the burial pit.

 

 

Викингское поселение в Ньюфаундленде:

 

L’ANSE AUX MEADOWS. Archaeological site located on the northern
tip of Newfoundland with evidence of a Norse (Viking) occupation
during the late 10th century. Believed to be related to the Vinland
colonization efforts of Leif Ericsson, archaeological excavations at
L’Anse aux Meadows by Helge Ingstad and Anne Stine Ingstad confirmed
the Norse presence more than five centuries before the expedition
of Christopher Columbus. Although occupied for only a few
years, this settlement did result in the earliest recorded substantiated
contacts between Europeans and Native Americans (whom the Norse
referred to as Skraelings).

 

 

Индейцы группы паюте:

 

PAIUTE INDIANS. Numic-speaking (Uto-Aztecan language family)
Native American groups who occupied portions of Utah, Arizona,
Nevada, Oregon, and California. Traditionally divided into northern
and southern branches, both groups were primarily migratory foragers
who subsisted on wild plant foods and small game. The Northern
Paiute also participated in seasonal bison hunts and were more
heavily influenced by groups from the Great Plains. After the introduction
of the horse, the Northern Paiute became increasingly mobile,
constructing tipis and following migratory bison herds. The
Southern Paiute constructed temporary brush shelters called wickiups,
used rabbit-skin clothing, and made woven baskets. Both
groups were very loosely organized in terms of sociopolitical organization.
The Paiutes were dramatically impacted by European contacts
during the 19th and 20th centuries, especially during the Mormon
migration into Utah in the 1850s and 1860s. As a result of the
increasing European presence, the Paiutes experienced a reduction in
their territory, with most forced to abandon traditional foraging practices.
At present there are more than 8,000 Paiutes in the western
United States, with many residing on the Paiute reservation in southwestern
Utah.

 

 

Индейцы папаго:

 

PAPAGO INDIANS. Uto-Aztecan–speaking peoples of the desert region
of southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico. Closely related
culturally and linguistically to the Pima, both groups are thought to be
the historic descendants of the Hohokam. The Papago were semisedentary
agriculturalists who occupied a series of small, dispersed
villages along the San Pedro, Santa Cruz, and Altar Rivers. They practiced
irrigation agriculture, cultivating maize, beans, cotton, and the
giant saguaro cactus. The Papago also collected salt from small desert
lagoons and traded it to other groups. The Papago had little contact
with Europeans until the late 17th century, allowing them to retain
much of their traditional culture. In 1848 the United States gained
control of Arizona, with the newly established Mexican border traversing
Papago lands. Most of the Papago moved to the United States
in the late 19th century; however, some groups remained in Mexico. At
present, there are approximately 7,500 Papago on reservations in
southern Arizona.

 

 
 
Индейцы группы пима:
 
PIMA INDIANS. Uto-Aztecan–speaking Native American groups of
the desert region of southern Arizona. Closely related culturally and
linguistically to the Papago, both groups are thought to be the historic
descendants of the Hohokam. The Pima were semisedentary
agriculturalists who occupied a series of villages along the Gila and
Salt Rivers. They practiced extensive irrigation agriculture, cultivating
maize, beans, cotton, and the giant saguaro cactus. Given
their larger, more populous villages, the Pima maintained a greater
sense of group identity than did the geographically dispersed Papago.
The Pima have a history of animosity with the Apache, who are said
to have raided their settlements during the 16th and 17th centuries.
The discovery of gold in California in 1849 brought increasing numbers
of American settlers and prospectors onto Pima lands, eventually
pushing them away from their most fertile territories and water
sources. The Pima were eventually granted three small reservations
in southern Arizona, where at present more than 10,000 Pima reside.

 

 

Индейцы якуй:

 

YAQUI INDIANS. Uto-Aztecan–speaking Native American groups of
the Southwest who occupied territory stretching from the Sonoran
Desert to the Pacific Coast of Mexico, including extreme southern
Arizona. The Yaqui were village agriculturalists who actively resisted
Spanish colonization during the 16th and 17th centuries. During
the 19th century, they fought against Mexican encroachments on
their lands, with most of their land seized by Mexicans in the 1880s.
After this confiscation, many Yaqui migrated across the border into
Arizona, creating new settlements near Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona.
In the 1930s many returned to Mexico when much of their land was
returned, while others remained on the Pascua Yaqui reservation
south of Tucson. At present, there are approximately 40,000 Yaqui in
Arizona and Sonora, Mexico.

Письменная память индейцев (включая североамериканских):
 

American history, recorded (ca. 31 B.C.)
Mesoamerican; South American Andean; North American Paleo-
Indian, Great Plains, and Northeast cultures
 
History is a written record of the events that have taken place
in a culture. Although knowledge of these events was primarily
preserved within an oral tradition in the Americas before European
conquest, indigenous people in North, Meso-, and
South America also recorded them. These historical records
ranged from petroglyphs carved onto rocks by Paleo-Indians
throughout the Americas to the sophisticated BOOKS created in
about A.D. 600 by the Maya culture that began its rise in
Mesoamerica starting in about 1500 B.C. and later the Aztec,
whose empire was established in about A.D. 1100. The oldest
writing (see also WRITING SYSTEMS) that has been found in
Mesoamerica is a bar-and-dot date, 31 B.C., that was carved
onto a stele, an upright stone slab used as a monument, by the
Olmec. The Olmec inhabited Mesoamerica from 1700 B.C. to
400 B.C.
The Moche, who lived on the northern coast of what is
now Peru from 200 B.C. to A.D. 600, preserved their historic
record in detailed POTTERY that is painted with realistic scenes
of everyday life as well as diplomatic gatherings. Later the Inca,
whose empire was established in about A.D. 1000 in the same
area, used the QUIPU, a knotted-string device that served to
record accounts as well as other information.
In North America, Eastern Woodlands cultures used
WAMPUM belts, or sashes made from shells, to commemorate
important historical events. Indians of the northern
plains had a profound sense of history as well, painting
records of their past onto buffalo hides. These were called
winter counts because they were made in the winter when
people had more time to spend on such projects than in summer
when hunting, gathering, and food preservation were of
primary importance. Each winter marked one year that had
passed. These winter counts were meant as mnemonic devices,
or memory aids, so the pictures that composed them
were not detailed. The events they portrayed included good
and poor hunting years, disputes both inside and outside of
the tribe, the deaths of leaders, and unusual natural events.
Usually the counts were recorded and kept by elders who
were entrusted to pass their knowledge of history on to future
generations. When the hides wore out, the counts were
copied onto new hides.
After the arrival of Europeans, American Indian historians
began using paper for winter counts, drawing pictures with
pens, pencil, and watercolor. Ledger books used by military
storekeepers and traders became highly prized for recording
tribal and personal history.

О вызывании анестезии индейцами Северной Америки:
 
 
 

anesthetics (ca. 1000 B.C.) Mesoamerican, South
American Andean, North American Northeast cultures
 
Anesthetics are substances that cause partial or total loss of
sensation or loss of consciousness. They were used by pre-
Columbian physicians in the Americas for a number of medical
problems, such as bone fractures, gout, rheumatism, and
neuralgia. American Indians also used anesthetics for
SURGERY, including brain surgery (see also TREPHINATION)
as early as 1000 B.C. COCA, PEYOTE, and datura (see also
ARTHRITIS TREATMENTS) are three of the many anesthetics
American Indians used to numb feelings of pain.
Coca (Erythroxylon coca), or cocaine as it is known today,
was used both as an external and an internal anesthetic by
Inca physicians who understood the drug’s anesthetic property.
The Inca culture arose about A.D. 1000 in what is now
Peru. When they used coca externally, they prepared it as a
poultice and applied it to the painful areas of the patient’s
body. Inca physicians also had their patients ingest coca before
any surgery. Not until Carl Kohller’s 1884 experiments
in Germany did the non-Indian world discover cocaine’s
anesthetic properties. Soon after the modern medical community
stumbled upon cocaine’s ability to suppress sensation,
the plant-derived drug became popular among
physicians.
The Aztec, who established an empire in Mesoamerica
and what is now Mexico in about A.D. 1100, employed peyote
(Lophophora williamsii) as an anesthetic for many years
before contact with Europeans. Aztec physicians used a lotion
made from the root of the plant for health problems
such as sore feet and headaches. Taken internally, a decoction
of peyote served as a fever reducer. Indians of southern Arizona
and northern Mexico used peyote to dull the pain of
large open wounds, snakebites, and fractures. They ground
the root of the peyote plant, prepared it as a poultice, and applied
it to the injured area. Peyote’s anesthetic properties
were so effective that in the 1800s U.S. Army surgeons used
the plant as a painkiller as well.
Indians living in the area of what is now Virginia used
“Jamestown weed” (Datura stramonium L.), or jimson weed,
as it was later called. Like coca and peyote, this plant was
used both externally and internally. Indian healers ground
the root to form a plaster that was applied to wounds,
bruises, and cuts. They had their patients take the plant internally
as an anesthetic prior to setting broken bones and
fractures as well as for general debility and paralysis. After
contact with American Indians, colonial doctors adopted
jimsonweed as an anesthetic.
Prior to the mid-1800s, non-Indian doctors who performed
surgery did not have effective anesthetics. As a result,
surgery was often both a last resort and a barbaric practice.
Some physicians resorted to knocking patients out by hitting
them in the jaw. Before 1847 and the discovery of ether, alcohol
and opium were the most reliable ways non-Indian
physicians had to numb their patients’ pain. The high
dosages of alcohol or opium required to kill pain sometimes
killed the patients.

Одомашнивание животных индейцами, включая североамериканских:
 
 

animals, domesticated (ca. 13,000 B.C.–10,000 B.C.)
North American, Mesoamerican, South American Andean
cultures
 
Animals are considered to have been domesticated when they
are kept for clear purposes, the traits that they exhibit in the
wild have been modified, their breeding is controlled, and
their survival depends on the humans who keep them. Animal
domestication is more complex than simply taming them; it
necessitates selecting types of animals that have the temperament
to remain close to humans and those that will provide
benefit to humans. Indians began to domesticate animals in
the Americas from 15,000 to 12,000 years ago. These animals
included DOGS, GUINEA PIGS, TURKEYS, LLAMAS, ALPACAS,
and VICUNAS. The Muscovy duck (see also DUCKS, MUSCOVY),
PARROTS, and bees (see BEEKEEPING) were also domesticated.
Throughout the Americas, the domestication of animals
was far surpassed by agriculture or plant domestication. One
reason for this was the lack of native animals suitable for draft
purposes such as pulling plows or carts. (Although paleontologists
believe a horse evolved in the Americas, it became extinct
long before humans began domesticating animals.) The BISON,
or buffalo, that ranged throughout North America had an extremely
strong herd instinct and were unlikely beasts of burden
or draft animals. Llamas, which were domesticated in
South America, were more suitable for pack animals than for
draft purposes.

1. цивилизация Миссиссиппи (800 - 1.500 г. г.; депопуляция городов началась ок. 1.450 г.). Эта популяция традиционно считается самой великой в Северной Америке и ее связывают с цивилизациями Центральной Америки.

2. лига пяти наций ирокезов (сформировалась где-то после 1.000 г.; в результате войн французов и англичан, в которых они, как правило, выступали на стороне последних, это сильнейшее племя Северной Америки, длительное время терроризировавшее всех своих индейских и европейских соседей, оказалось на грани исчезновения, и ныне далеко не столь многочисленно, как некогда)

3. культура анасази (пуэбло) (с 12 в. до н. э., особенно примерно с 700 г. н. э. условно по 1.500 г.)

А еще в связи с известиями викингов о их поселении в Винланде, стараются найти их поселения в Северной Америке. Следы викингов, вроде, нашли. Но поселений, пока, вроде не нашли.

По-моему, только аборигены Австралии не создали цивилизации до самого открытия континента. Так и оставались первобытными, до тех пор.

Andy,

Кроме тех трех индейских культур, есть еще мегалитская культра в Нью Ингланд, строениями Stonehenge USA / Mystery Hill, Gungywamp, Upton Chamber и тому подобное.

 

Карта Stonehenge USA здесь:

Одно из поселений викингов нашли на северном полуострове Newfoundland в Канаде, называется L'anse aux Meadows.

 

Скажите пожалуйста, в Южно Африканской Республике нашлись солидные доколониальные сооружения?

Я поискал в интернете кратко, но нашел только вроде старые заборы.
