汤山猿人洞穴埋藏堆积地质雷达勘探解译

Research on Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Exploration on Cave Sediments in Tangshan, Nanjing

通过对南京汤山猿人洞穴内部东侧地质雷达勘探资料的分析,得出东部洞穴基岩埋深在10m以下,为水平状的岩系.其上的洞穴埋藏堆积可以分为上、中、下3个角砾层,反映了该洞穴曾经历过3次较大的崩塌堆积过程.上角砾层可能含有动物化石,是今后考古值得关注的堆积层.

Through analyzing the data of GPR exploration in the eastern cave of Homo erectus in Tangshan, this paper points out the bedrock of the eastern cave was more than 10 meters thick and probably belong to level-shaped rocks. The cave sediments on the bedrock were divided into three layers with breccia, which reflected the cave once underwent the process of serious landslip for three times. The upper breccia layer is probably rich in animal fossils, which will be the one worth paying more attention to in the future archaeology.
