泥河湾盆地南山边遗址发现的旧石器

南山边遗址位于泥河湾盆地东缘、大田洼台地北缘,于2013年的旧石器调查中发现。随后的试掘中,出土石制品38件,动物化石3件,石制品包括石核、石片、刮削器、残片、断块等,属于中国北方以小石制品为主的主工业类型。石制品位于泥河湾层中下部,根据地层对比,与大长梁地点、小长梁遗址、照坡遗址、葡萄园遗址等属于同一层位,时代相同,由此在台地北缘形成一处面积广阔、时代接近、分布集中的遗址区,为探讨早更新世古人类的活动范围、栖居模式、遗址功能分析等提供有益线索。

Stone artifacts from the newly discovered site of Nanshanbian,Nihewan Basin

The Nanshanbian site was discovered on the eastern fringe of the Nihewan Basin and the northern fringe of the Datianwa Plateau in 2013. In a test excavation, 38 stone artifacts and 3 fragmentary bones were unearthed. The stone artifacts included cores, flakes, scrapers, and incomplete flakes and chunks, all attributed to the main industry of the Paleolithic tradition in North China. The artifacts were from the middle to lower part of the Nihewan Bed. According to geomorphological and chronological comparison, the stratigraphic profile of the Nanshanbian site is equal to the Dachangliang, Xiaochangliang, Zhaopo, and Putaoyuan sites, more than one million years ago.
