辽宁阜新查海遗址早期生业经济研究——来自石器表层残留物淀粉粒的证据

Early Subsistence Economy at the Chahai Site in Fuxing, Liaoning

对查海遗址出土的4件石磨盘和石磨棒表层残留物进行的淀粉粒提取和分析表明当时人类的植物性食物较丰富,包括禾本科(Poaceae)植物种子和块根块茎类等,还有一些尚未能确定种属的植物,在各类植物中以禾本科植物最多。结合动物考古及炭化植物分析结果,推测狩猎采集经济在查海先民的生业经济中应占主要地位。同时,数量较多的狗尾草属植物淀粉粒的发现暗示查海遗址可能已经出现对这类植物的集中利用甚至是初期栽培活动。石器表层各类淀粉粒的数量比说明禾本科植物是查海遗址石磨盘和磨棒最主要的加工对象。

Significant numbers of starch grains, including Poaceae, tubers and other unknown types, are extracted from4 stone tools of the Xinglongwa Culture at the Chahai Site. The analysis indicates that thePoaceae plant accounts for the largest part of starch grains and pal role in the subsistence of human tensified using of this type of plant, starches also suggests that Poaceae s of the site, and it seerm that hunting-gathering economy played a princi- here. Furthermore, a certain number of starch grains fromSetaria plant, indicate that in- or even initial cultivation, had taken place at Chahai site. The assemblage of various was the pfirmt5＇ type of products processed by stone tools.
