摘要
山西省武乡县石门乡牛鼻子湾出土了一组磁山文化的石磨盘、磨棒。我们对这两件石器进行了微痕和淀粉粒分析,以便更全面地了解磁山文化生业形态的地区性差异。分析结果表明,这两件工具可能用来加工多种植物,包括栎属橡子、小麦族的籽粒、黍族的籽粒、豆子及栝楼根。其中黍族的粟、黍可能为驯化类型,而栎属橡子和小麦族植物显然为野生。如果磨盘、磨棒上的淀粉粒残留物可以在一定程度上反映人类的食谱,那么采集多种野生植物仍是居住在太行山西侧的磁山文化先民食物的主要来源。
A set of grinding stones （a slab and an elongate handstone） dating to the Cishan culture were unearthed at Niubiziwan, Wuxiang county, Shan^d province. We conducted use-wear and starch analyses on these tools in order to un- derstand the subsistence economy of the Cishan culture in this region. The results show that these tools were used for pro- cessing several plants, including Ouercus sp . acorn, Triticeae grasses, Paniceae （likely millet）, beans and snakegourd root. Of these plants millet may belong to domesticated forms, while acorn and Triticeae grasses are wild. If these plant residues to some extent reflect ancient diet, the Cishan culture people in the westem side of the Taihang Mountains appear to have heavily relied on wild plants as staple food.
