湖北郧县后房遗址石器工业的年代、操作链及其意义

The Significance of the Age and Chaine Opératoire in the Lithic Industry at Houfang Site,Yunxian County, Hubei Province

后房遗址是汉水上游一处重要的旧石器时代遗址,该遗址出土了含两面器的石器工业。本文对后房遗址的年代测定做了报道,对其石器工业进行了细致的技术和技术-功能分析,复原了其生产体系的操作链,并从技术层面初步比较了东西方含手斧的石器工业。从方法论的角度看,本项研究为我们了解汉水流域乃至中国含手斧石器工业与西方阿舍利工业之间的共性和差异提供了新的视角,为我们深入探讨东亚含两面器的石器工业的技术起源与演化、共性与多样性、东西方文化之间的关系等问题奠定了基础。

The Houfang site is an important Paleolithic site located in the upper reaches of the Hanshui River. The lithic assemblage of this site contains in situ bifaces（bifacial pieces）. We have conducted a detailed lithic technological analysis of this industry, including technological and techno-functional analysis, to reconstruct the cha ne opératoire of the lithic production. We also compared the lithic industry with bifaces（bifacial pieces） in China with those from Europe and Africa by applying lithic technological method. From a methodological perspective, this research provides a new approach for understanding the similarities and differences between the lithic industry with bifaces（bifacial pieces） in China and the Acheulean industry in Europe and Africa, and serves as a cornerstone for us to discuss the technological origin and evolution of bifacial industry in eastern Asia, and the cultural relationship between the East and West.
