摘要
1920年,法国天主教神父、博物学家桑志华(E.Licent)发现了我国第一件旧石器,打破了自1882年以来德国地质学家李希霍芬(F.von Richthofen)提出的中国北方不可能有旧石器的论断,并揭开了中国古人类研究的序幕。桑志华所发现第一件旧石器的地点有辛家沟、赵家岔两种说法,文章根据桑志华的《十年行程录》日记及实地勘察确定,1920年6月4日在幸家沟黄土层中发现的1件石核,是中国出土的第一件旧石器,即甘肃省华池县五蛟乡吴家原行政村幸家沟自然村的幸家沟是中国第一件旧石器的出土地点,地理坐标36°21′49.00″N,107°45′41.07″E。
In 1920,Emile Licent,French priest and natural historian,found the first Paleolithic site in China,against,F.von Richthofen’s belief that there were no Paleolithic remains in North China.This discovery by Licent was a prelude to the study of Chinese paleoanthropology.There are two different views about this first excavated Paleolithic site;some people believe the site to have been Xinjiagou,but others consider it was Zhaojiacha.By examining Licent’s diary encompassing 10 years of travel,and conducting fieldwork,the authors believe that the first stone artifact found in China was a core unearthed in a loess layer at the Xingjiagou site on June 4,1920.Therefore the Xingjiagou site,the first Paleolithic site identified in China,belongs to Wujiao town,Huachi County,Qingyang City,Gansu Province.Geographical coordinates are 36°21′49.00″N,107°45′41.07″E.
