内蒙古下田家营子夏家店上层文化遗址出土植物遗存研究

Study on the Excavated Plant Remains from the Upper Xiajiadian Culture in Xiatianjiayingzi Site

下田家营子遗址是西拉木伦河支流百岔河上游地区一处夏家店上层文化史前聚落遗址。在对本次下田家营子遗址开展的浮选工作中,获得了旱作农作物种子粟和黍的炭化植物遗存,此外,还有可采集食用的藜、地肤等野生植物遗存。通过对植物遗存以及出土鱼类和哺乳类动物骨骼进行综合分析可知,在夏家店上层文化时期,下田家营子遗址先民经济生活的主要来源是农业,但畜牧业占有一定比重,而采集和渔猎仍然是当时人类食物资源的重要补充方式。

The Xiatianjiayingzi site is a site of the Upper Xiajiadian Culture in the upper reaches of the Baicha River, a tributary of the Xilamuren River. The flotation work carried out at this site, carbonized plant remains of dry crop seed, setaria italica and panicum miliaceum, were obtained, and wild plant remains of Chenopodium album and Kochia scoparia that could be collected for food. A comprehensive analysis of the plant remains and the excavated fish and mammal bones suggests that the main source of economic livelihood for the ancestors of the Upper Xiajiadian Culture was agriculture, but animal husbandry had a certain proportion, and gathering and fishing were still important supplementary means of human food resources.
