New Women of the Ice Age
The status of women in a society depends in large measure on their role in the
economy. The reinterpretation of the Paleolithic past centers on new views of the role
of women in the food-foraging economy. Amassing critical and previously
overlooked evidence from Dolni Vestonice and the neighboring site of Pavlov,
researchers Olga Soffer, James Adovasio, and David Hyland now propose that human
survival there had little to do with men hurling spears at big game animals. Instead,
observes Soffer, one of the world's leading authorities on Ice Age hunters and
gatherers and an archeologist at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, it
depended largely on women, plants, and a technique of hunting previously invisible
in the archeological evidence-net hunting. "This is not the image we've always had of
Upper Paleolithic macho guys out killing animals up close and personal," Soffer
explains. "Net hunting is communal, and it involves the labor of children and women.
And this has lots of implications."
Many of these implications make her conservative colleagues cringe because
they raise serious questions about the focus of previous studies. European
archeologists have long concentrated on analyzing broken stone tools and butchered
big-game bones, the most plentiful and best preserved relics of the Upper Paleolithic
era (which stretched from 40,000 to 12,000 years ago). From these analyses,
researchers have developed theories about how these societies once hunted and
gathered food. Most researchers ruled out the possibility of women hunters for
biological reasons. Adult females, they reasoned, had to devote themselves to breast-
feeding and tending infants. "Human babies have always been immature and
dependent," says Soffer. "If women are the people who are always involved with
biological reproduction and the rearing of the young, then that is going to constrain
their behavior. They have to provision that child. For fathers, provisioning is
optional."

Trang 8 /18
 To test theories about Upper Paleolithic life, researchers looked to
ethnography, the scientific description of modern and historical cultural groups.
While the lives of modern hunters do not exactly duplicate those of ancient hunters,
they supply valuable clues to universal human behavior. In many historical societies,
Soffer observes, women played a key part in net hunting, since the tecchnique did not
call for brute strength nor did it place young mothers in physical peril. Among
Australian Aborigines, for example, women as well as men knotted the mesh,
laboring for as much as two or three years on a fine net. Among Native American
groups, they helped lay out their handiwork on poles across a valley floor. Then the
entire camp joined forces as beaters. Fanning out across the valley, men, women, and
children alike shouted and screamed, flushing out game and driving it in the direction
of the net. "Everybody and their mother could participate," says Soffer. "Some people
were beating, others were screaming or holding the net. And once you got the net on
these animals, they were immobilized. You didn't need brute force. You could club
them, hit them any old way."
People seldom returned home empty-handed. Researchers living among the net
hunting Mbuti in the forests of the Congo report that they capture game every time
they lay out their woven traps, scooping up 50 percent of the animals encountered.
"Nets are a far more valued item in their panoply of food-producing things than bows
and arrows are," says Adovasio. So lethal are these traps that the Mbuti generally
rack up more meat than they can consume, trading the surplus with neighbors. Other
net hunters traditionally smoked or dried their catch and stored it for leaner times.
Soffer doubts that the inhabitants of Dolni Vestonice and Pavlov were the only
net makers in Ice Age Europe. Camps stretching from Germany to Russia are littered
with a notable abundance of small-game bones, from hares to birds like ptarmigan.
And at least some of their inhabitants whittled bone tools that look much like the awls
and net spacers favored by historical net makers. Although the full range of their
activities is unlikely ever to be known for certain, there is good reason to believe that
Ice Age women played a host of powerful roles. And the research that suggests those

Trang 9 /18
roles is rapidly changing our mental images of the past. For Soffer and others, these
are exciting times.
76. The word “authorities” in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A. policies
B. experts
C. interpretations
D. tradition
77. How do Soffer's theories compare with those of more conservative researchers?
A. They are in agreement for the most part regarding the activities that women
performed.
B. Soffer has based her theories on archeological evidence that her colleagues had not
considered.
C. Conservative researchers are doubtful about the studies of stone tools and big-
game bones.

 Moles happy as homes go underground
A
The first anybody knew about Dutchman Frank Siegmunds and his family was when
workmen tramping through a field found a narrow steel chimney protruding through
the grass. Closer inspection revealed a chink of sky-light window among the
thistles, and when amazed investigators moved down the side of the hill they came
across a pine door complete with leaded diamond glass and a brass knocker set into
an underground building. The Siegmunds had managed to live undetected for six
years outside the border town of Breda, in Holland. They are the latest in a clutch of
individualistic homemakers who have burrowed underground in search of
tranquillity.

B
Most, falling foul of strict building regulations, have been forced to dismantle their
individualistic homes and return to more conventional lifestyles. But subterranean
suburbia, Dutch-style, is about to become respectable and chic. Seven luxury homes
cosseted away inside a high earth-covered noise embankment next to the main
Tilburg city road recently went on the market for $296,500 each. The foundations
had yet to be dug, but customers queued up to buy the unusual part-submerged
houses, whose back wall consists of a grassy mound and whose front is a long glass
gallery.

C
The Dutch are not the only would-be moles. Growing numbers of Europeans are
burrowing below ground to create houses, offices, discos and shopping malls. It is
already proving a way of life in extreme climates; in winter months in Montreal,
Canada, for instance, citizens can escape the cold in an underground complex
complete with shops and even health clinics. In Tokyo builders are planning a
massive underground city to be begun in the next decade, and underground
shopping malls are already common in Japan, where 90 percent of the population is
squeezed into 20 percent of the landscape.

Trang 13 /18
D
Building big commercial buildings underground can be a way to avoid disfiguring
or threatening a beautiful or “environmentally sensitive” landscape. Indeed many of
the buildings which consume most land -such as cinemas, supermarkets, theatres,
warehouses or libraries -have no need to be on the surface since they do not need
windows.

E
There are big advantages, too, when it comes to private homes. A development of
194 houses which would take up 14 hectares of land above ground would occupy
2.7 hectares below it, while the number of roads would be halved. Under several
metres of earth, noise is minimal and insulation is excellent. “We get 40 to 50
enquiries a week,” says Peter Carpenter, secretary of the British Earth Sheltering
Association, which builds similar homes in Britain. "People see this as a way of
building for the future." An underground dweller himself, Carpenter has never paid
a heating bill, thanks to solar panels and natural insulation.

F
In Europe the obstacle has been conservative local authorities and developers who
prefer to ensure quick sales with conventional mass produced housing. But the
Dutch development was greeted with undisguised relief by South Limburg planners
because of Holland's chronic shortage of land. It was the Tilburg architect Jo
Hurkmans who hit on the idea of making use of noise embankments on main roads.
His two- floored, four-bedroomed, two- bathroomed detached homes are now taking
shape. "They are not so much below the earth as in it," he says. "All the light will
come through the glass front, which runs from the second floor ceiling to the
ground. Areas which do not need much natural lighting are at the back. The living
accommodation is to the front so nobody notices that the back is dark."

G
In the US, where energy-efficient homes became popular after the oil crisis of 1973,
10,000 underground houses have been built. A terrace of five homes, Britain's first

Trang 14 /18
subterranean development, is under way in Nottinghamshire. Italy's outstanding
example of subterranean architecture is the Olivetti residential centre in Ivrea.
Commissioned by Roberto Olivetti in 1969, it comprises 82 one-bedroomed
apartments and 12 maisonettes and forms a house/ hotel for Olivetti employees. It is
built into a hill and little can be seen from outside except a glass facade. Patnzia
Vallecchi, a resident since 1992, says it is little different from living in a
conventional apartment.

H
Not everyone adapts so well, and in Japan scientists at the Shimizu Corporation
have developed "space creation" systems which mix light, sounds, breezes and
scents to stimulate people who spend long periods below ground. Underground
offices in Japan are being equipped with "virtual" windows and mirrors, while
underground departments in the University of Minnesota have periscopes to reflect
views and light.

I
But Frank Siegmund and his family love their hobbit lifestyle. Their home evolved
when he dug a cool room for his bakery business in a hill he had created. During a
heatwave they took to sleeping there. "We felt at peace and so close to nature," he
says. "Gradually I began adding to the rooms. It sounds strange but we are so close
to the earth we draw strength from its vibrations. Our children love it; not every
child can boast of being watched through their playroom windows by rabbits.

Exercise like an animal

Journalist Annabel Venning tries a new exercise craze
A. Our sedentary lifestyles mean that most of us aren’t using our muscles properly.
As small children we squat, crawl and leap around freely, but the older we get the
more restricted our movements become and many of our muscles get little action as
we sit at desks or in cars. Occasionally we hit the gym, where we use machines to
work on specific muscles rather than the whole body. Now a new form of fitness, an
intense workout based on simple animal movements such as crawling, is taking off.
Its Australian founder, Nathan Heiberg, has been using it with the military, police
forces, schoolchildren and even prisoners. He took his inspiration from martial arts,

Trang 16 /18
break-dancing, the animal world and the dance movements of indigenous people, and
developed Zuu.
B. There are around 100 animal movements - although beginners start with 25 - that
work muscles, joints and ligaments as well as improving heart and lung fitness. Zuu
needs no equipment and little space. The idea is to train your body to do the kinds of
activities that our ancestors had to do in daily life. It’s quick, it tops up your strength
and it’s not aiming to give you big muscles. In exchange for the publicity from my
article, Nathan offers me a master class, alongside two of his trainers, a privilege that
would otherwise be beyond my financial means! I am daunted by the prospect of
doing things I haven’t done since my pre-school years.
C. We do each movement for 30 seconds (for my benefit - as you get fitter, you keep
on for 45 seconds). We start with a frog squat: legs wide, knees bent, elbows locked
inside knees. It’s a little undignified, but fine at first. Then as the seconds go by, the
fronts of my thighs start to burn and it’s all I can do not to collapse. After the 30
seconds we dash back across the room to our starting point with barely a moment to
catch our breath. Nathan assures me the frog squat is particularly good for the lower
backs of office workers, and recommends that they should take a break and perform
the movement for four minutes a day. Somehow I can’t see this working!
D. Then it’s on to a bear crawl, on hands and feet. While Nathan and others shoot
across the room, I lumber along like an ancient grizzly bear. Then we do it again -
backwards. I seem to be clumsy, but it does get slightly easier as I go on. This
movement evidently uses every joint in the body, strengthening things like ligaments
and tendons, while at the same time raising heart rate as effectively as running.
Perhaps being a snake will be easier. But there’s no lying flat on our stomachs.
Instead we have to raise our bodies 2 cm off the floor, rocking our weight back and
forth from hands to toes. It’s a bit of an effort to keep going for the full minute.
E. By the end I’m shaking with exhaustion. Despite my initial reservations, by the
end of my session, I have started to enjoy myself. Mind you, it’s hard not to laugh
when you’re imitating a bear on rewind! I thought I was in reasonably good shape - I
run 5 km three times a week - but after this I realise how little I push myself

Trang 17 /18
normally. Nathan has promised that I could increase my upper body strength by 30%
in just six weeks by doing classes. I have compromised and do bear crawls around
my garden at home during work breaks, much to the amazement of my dog!
