吉林东部含细石器遗存的初步研究

文章对近年来发现于吉林东部即长白山山地地区的12处旧石器遗址中9处含有细石器的遗存予以关注,并将它们界定为"含细石器遗存"。由于延边大洞遗址的材料整理工作尚未结束,只对其中的8处进行了实际分析和研究。主要从细石核型式和细石器工艺技术两个方面对这些遗存中发现的细石器进行了分析,同时把与细石器伴生的非细石器制品作为石制品组合从原料、技术、器物大小和类型等方面给予探讨。基于上述几方面的分析研究,提出该地区含细石器遗存包括了以细石器为主体、以小石器为主体和以大石器为主体的3种类型,并初步认为该地区细石器制作技术来源于华北地区。遗存年代为旧石器时代晚期或偏晚。

PRELIMINARY STUDY ON MICROLITHIC-CONTAINING REMAINS FROM THE EAST JILIN PROVINCE,CHINA

Among 12 recently discovered sites in the east of Jilin Province,9 contain microlithic stone artifacts and 8 sites(Shirengou,Helong;Liudong,Helong;Beishan,Hunchun;Shaojiadian,Huinan;Xishan,Fusongxintun;Lixin,Antu;Shajingou,Antu;Qingtou,Helong)are analyzed and studied by the authors.Ages of these sites were determined as Late Paleolithic or even later.Besides providing research background for each site,we have studied both microlithic stone artifacts and associated non-microlithic ones.The microlithic core can be divided into the wedge-shaped core of A type,the ship-shaped core of B type,and the conical core of C type.A and B can be further divided into two sub-types: A1,A2 and B1,B2,respectively.The techniques are also discussed from aspects of exploitation,flaking and retouching technique.For non-microlithic artifacts we analyzed their raw materials,technology,size,and typology and the main result shows that they are characterized by obsidian materials,hard hammer technique,small size with the exception of Antu Lixin and mixed direct and indirect preparation works.The paper summarizes major Paleolithic archaeological discoveries,research achievements and their importance in the study of Paleolithic archaeology in North East China.The capability and strategies of hominids in exploiting raw materials(obsidian) and modifying stone tools are discussed from the view of behavioral and adaptive perspectives.The authors conclude that these microlithic-containing remains can be divided into groups of three types: a group dominated by microlithic artifacts;a group dominated by small artifacts,and a group dominated by big artifacts.It is indicated that the origin of the microlithic technology in East Jilin Province might be from North China.
