南坡遗址石制品研究

Research on the Lithic Tools from the Nanpo Site

南坡遗址是泥河湾盆地目前发现的地理位置最靠西的细石器文化遗址,共发现石制品119件。本文采用定性定量的分析方法,对南坡遗址的石制品进行初步分析。根据南坡遗址的石制品特征来看,应是从峙峪、杜庄遗址等发展而来,属于典型的"细石器文化传统",年代较二道梁、油房等遗址要晚,与于家沟、马鞍山大致相当,应属于旧石器时代晚期晚段。

The Nanpo site is the only location in the most western part of the Nihewan Basin where micro-lithic tools were present.A total of 119 lithic tools were found from the site.This paper employed both qualitative and quantitative approaches to analyze lithic tools from the Nanpo site.The overall characteristics of the lithic tools from the site show that the lithic industry was derived from those represented by the Siyu and Duzhuang sites,and thus belonged to the typical ‘micro-lithic tradition’.The site post-dated the Erdaoliang and Youfang sites,while was contemporary with the Yujiagou and Maanshan sites.Therefore,the site should date to the later phase of the Late Palaeolithic period.
