在Kaurna天文学传统中识别季节性恒星

Identifying seasonal stars in Kaurna astronomical traditions

Duane W. Hamacher

摘要:

早期的人种学家和传教士记录了澳大利亚各地的土著语言和口头传统。他们普遍缺乏天文学训练,导致这些记录中的错误识别,转录错误和遗漏。此外,这些早期记录中有许多是支离破碎的。在维多利亚州西部和南澳大利亚州东南部,许多天文传统都被记录下来,但奇怪的是,天空中一些最亮的星星被省略了。学者们声称这些星星在土著传统中并不存在。这种代表性不足的情况在文献中不断重复,但目前的研究表明,其中一些星星实际上可能是土著传统中的特色,可能是季节性日历标记。本文使用文化天文学中的既定技术来识别南澳大利亚阿德莱德平原Kaurna土著居民传统中的季节性恒星。

英文摘要:

Early ethnographers and missionaries recorded Aboriginal languages and oral traditions across Australia. Their general lack of astronomical training resulted in misidentifications, transcription errors, and omissions in these records. Additionally, many of these early records are fragmented. In western Victoria and southeast South Australia, many astronomical traditions were recorded, but curiously, some of the brightest stars in the sky were omitted. Scholars claimed these stars did not feature in Aboriginal traditions. This under-representation continues to be repeated in the literature, but current research shows that some of these stars may in fact feature in Aboriginal traditions and could be seasonal calendar markers. This paper uses established techniques in cultural astronomy to identify seasonal stars in the traditions of the Kaurna Aboriginal people of the Adelaide Plains, South Australia.
