摘要
近年来,考古学家在西藏拉萨市堆龙德庆区邱桑村温泉砾石表面石灰华上发现了许多人类手脚的印记。学者们根据铀系、光释光和碳14等测年方法进行断代后,获得了距今7千年前至距今22万年前不等的几组年代数据。尤其是2021年发表在《科学通报》杂志上的铀系测年文章,将此称之为世界上“最早的洞壁艺术”。邱桑人类手脚印的测年是否可信,能否被认为是“洞壁艺术”(即岩画),这涉及到铀系测年的可靠性、岩画的起源、人类象征思维的起源等一系列学界关注的问题。
Many marks of human hands and feet were found on the travertine on the surface of hot spring gravel in Quesang Village,Dulong Deqing District,Lhasa City,Tibet.With the help of dating methods of 230Th/234U,OSL,and radiocarbon,scholars have obtained dating data ranging from 7,000 years ago to 220,000 years ago.In particular,the U-Th dating article,published in Science Bulletin in 2021,called it the“oldest parietal art”in the world.Whether the dating of hominin handprints and footprints at Quesang site is credible and whether it can be regarded as“parietal art”(i.e.,rock art)involves a series of academic concerns,such as the reliability of the U-Th method,the origin of rock art,and the origin of human symbolic thinking.
