泰安宁阳虎城史前遗址石器技术研究

A Study of Stone Tool Technology at the Prehistoric Site of Hucheng,Ningyang,Taian

泰安宁阳虎城遗址采集石制品加工技术简单、实用,符合华北地区小石器技术传统,这些发现证明宁阳县至少存在两个旧石器文化阶段,既扩大了宁阳县旧石器时代遗存的分布范围,也丰富了山东省细石器遗存的文化内涵,此发现揭示了我国旧石器文化的传承与连续,一定意义上也表明东亚地区人类的演化链条似乎从未中断。

The Hu Cheng site in Ningyang,Taian,was discovered during a special survey of the Paleolithic in the Wen and Si basins in 2019,and is one of more than 30 Paleolithic sites discovered during the same period.A total of 62 stone artifacts were collected,with types covering stone cores,stone flakes,stone tools and broken blocks.Stone artifacts mainly use locally abundant vein quartz as raw material,and a total of 26 stone tools were collected,accounting for 2/5 of the total number of stone artifacts,including scrapers,pointed tools,stone drlls and concave-notched scrapers,with the use of smashing method occupying a considerable proportion.Overall observation shows that the processing techniques of stone products collected at the Hucheng site are simple and practical,in line with the small stone tool technology tradition in northern China.These findings prove the existence of at least two Palaeolithic cultural stages in Ningyang County,which both expand the distribution of Palaeolithic remains in Ningyang County and enrich the cultural connotation of fine stone tool remains in Shandong Province.It reveals the inheritance and continuity of the Paleolithic culture in China,and in a certain sense also indicates that the chain of human evolution in East Asia seems to have never been interrupted.
