MIS3阶段嵩山东麓旧石器发现与问题

最近10多年来,经过系统调查,已有300多处旧石器遗址或地点发现在嵩山东麓。其中在属于淮河水系的贾鲁河、潩水河、洧水河等河流上游河谷地带的发现尤为丰富。在系统调查工作基础上,已有多个遗址经过正式发掘,如新郑赵庄与黄帝口、登封西施及郑州西南郊二七区老奶奶庙等。调查与发掘资料显示,在距今50000年前后至20000多年的嵩山东麓地区,经历了一个古人类发展的繁荣时期。这些新发现初步揭示了MIS3阶段以来,区内古人类栖居形态与发展情况,以及这些发现所展现的现代人类及其行为的出现与发展特点。新发现也显示嵩山东麓MIS3阶段旧石器经历了从石片石器、石叶到细石器技术的发展历程。

New Achievements and Perspectives on Paleolithic Archaeology During the MIS3 Along the Eastern Foot of Songshan Mountain,Henan Province

In recent decade, systematic field investigation has been conducted along the eastern area of Mount Song, and more than 300 Paleolithic sites were discovered. The sites distribute in the tributary valleys, the Upper reaches of Huai River including Jialu, Yishui and Weishui branches. Some of the sites were selected for the excavation (e.g. Zhaozhuang and Huangdikou in Xinzheng, Xishi in Dengfeng and Laonainaimiao in the southwest suburbs of Zhengzhou City). The archaeological records show a great development in terms of technology and human behavior, and the change of settlement pattern during the MIS3 from 50ka BP to 20ka BP. Based on the comprehensive analysis of lithic assemblages, the technological evolution in the Upper Paleolithic of the northern part of China is indicated by the change from flake technology to blade and microblade technology.
