江苏泗洪韩井遗址2015-2016年发掘简报

2015 and 2016 Excavations Report of the Hanjing Site in Sihong,Jiangsu Province

2015年3月和2016年4月,中国国家博物馆等单位对韩井遗址进行第二、三次勘探和发掘。通过发掘揭示出顺山集文化一期、二期的遗存,发现了顺山集一期由洼地和多条水沟组成的水稻田等遗迹,丰富了顺山集文化的内涵。尤其是水稻田的发现,很可能是目前所见最早的与人类驯化水稻相关的遗迹,为研究顺山集文化的聚落形态和中国早期稻作农业提供了重要实物资料,也为中国淮河流域和黄河下游地区新石器时代文化跨区域的交流和互动提供了珍贵的材料。

During March-June 2015 and April-June 2016, the National Museum of China conducted the second and third explorations and excavations on the Hanjing site, confirming that the Hanjing site was a moat settlement. The excavations reveal the ash pits dating to the first and second stages of Shunshanji Culture and the ＂paddy fields＂ remains from Shunshanji first stage,enriching the connotation of Shunshanji Culture. In particular, the discovery of＂paddy fields＂remains, which are likely to he the earliest traces of rice do- mestication, provides important materials for studying the settlement patterns of Shunshanji Culture and early rice farming in China as well as the cross-region cultural communication and exchanges in the Huaihe River basin and the lower reaches of the Yellow River in the Neolithic period.
