河南唐河廉庄旧石器地点试掘简报

Brief Report of Excavation of the Paleolithic Lianzhuang Site in Tanghe County of Henan Province

2020年2月,南阳市文物考古研究所对河南省唐河县廉庄旧石器地点进行试掘,发掘面积4米×4米。共收获石器30件,象牙1件。石器类型包括石核、完整石片、断片、二类工具和三类工具等。根据地层堆积、石器特征组合,及与周边旧石器地点比较,推测该旧石器地点的地质年代为中更新世,处于旧石器时代早期。

In February 2020,the Institute of Cultural Heritage Conservation and other units conducted a trial excavation at the Paleolithic Lianzhuang site in Tanghe County of Henan Province.The excavation area was 4 m by 4 m.A total of 30 stone tools and one ivory bone were collected.The stone tools consist of cores,complete flakes,fragments,and secondary and tertiary tools.Based on the stratigraphic deposits,the combination of stone tools,and comparisons with surrounding Paleolithic sites,it is inferred that the geological age of this Paleolithic site is from the Middle Pleistocene,thus identifying the site as a Lower Paleolithic site.
