天津蓟县北台旧石器地点调查简报

An Investigation on Paleolithic Beitai Site at Ji County Tianjing City

北台旧石器地点于2005年4月发现,2005年5月又对其进行了复查。该地点位于天津蓟县的河流阶地内,在地表采集到数十件石制品,类型相对简单,包括石核、石片、断块和工具;原料均为燧石。剥片方法主要采用锤击法。遗址的时代推测属于晚更新世晚期,即旧石器时代晚期。

Twenty-seven stone artifacts were unearthed from the primary context of archaeological deposits at the Beitai locality, Jixian County of Tianjin area, These objects include core, flakes, chunks and used flakes. Chert is the main raw material used for this stone assemblage. Major blanks for tools fabrication are flakes. The principal flaking technique at the site is mainly direct hammer percussion. According to the characteristics of this deposit （such as no polish on the artifacts, and no pottery） and the stone artifacts, We suggests that the site is probably Upper Late Pleistocene or the Late Paleolithic.
