抚松新屯子西山旧石器遗址试掘报告

A Report on the Excavation at the Xishan Paleolithic Site,Xintunzi County,Fusong City

西山遗址发现于2002年,位于抚松县新屯子镇的西山上,同年对其进行试掘,试掘面积70m2。堆积物可划分3层;石制品出自第2层的黄色亚黏土层内,共30件,类型包括石叶石核、石片、细石叶。石制品原料均为黑曜岩。通过遗存分析,该遗迹是一个古人类临时活动场所。根据石制品出土层位以及遗址内不见任何磨制石器和陶片判断,该遗址的年代可能属于旧石器时代晚期或稍晚。

The Xishan site, situated at the Xishan Hill of the Xintunzi town in Fusong City, Jilin Province, was excavated in 2002. The site consists of 3 layers, with stone artifacts found in Layer 2, the yellow-clay layer. Altogether 30 stone artifacts, all made of obsidian were collected from the site, including blade cores, flakes, and microblades. In particular, the blade core weighed 17.4kg with a blade scar of 322mm in length and 44mm in width on the platform, which is rarely seen. The remains of an oval-shaped basalt stone circle was also found, which is made up of both an inner and outer circle, with the largest dimensions being 6.5m （length） and 4.8m （width）. This evidence may represent a hut or a temporary place for the people at that time, and is a very important archaeological discovery in this area. According to the stratigraphy alignment and the lack of polished stone artifacts and pottery, the site can be dated to the upper Paleolithic or later.
