试论华南东西部地区早期洞穴遗址之间的关系

An Analysis of the Relationship Between Early Cave Sites in the Eastern and Western Regions of South China(Special Contribution)

华南地区是我国洞穴遗址分布最为广泛的地区,且延续时间很长。根据地理环境,可将华南洞穴分布区划分为东部的丘陵低地区和西部的高原山地区。虽然两个地区大体同属于一个气候区,但小的区域自然气候和环境存在着显著的差别,由此孕育出的史前文化之间既有紧密联系,又存在显著差异。通过对华南早期洞穴遗址的文化序列、特点等的系统梳理和对比分析,可以进一步了解和认识两个区域间的文化差异及其形成的原因。

The South China region has the most widely distributed cave sites,with a long duration of occupation.Based on the geographical environment,the cave distribution area in South China can be divided into the eastern hilly lowlands and the western plateau mountainous areas.Although both regions generally belong to the same climate zone,there are significant differences in the natural climate and environment of the smaller subregions.These differences have led to the emergence of prehistoric cultures that are closely related yet distinctly different.By systematically sorting out and comparatively analyzing the cultural sequences and characteristics of early cave sites in South China,we can gain a deeper understanding and recognition of the cultural differences between the two regions and the reasons for their formation.
