PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE LIVING ENVIRONMENT OF HOMINIDS AT THE XUJIAYAO SITE, NIHEWAN BASIN
-
摘要: 许家窑遗址是中国重要的早期智人遗址,在研究东亚现代人及其行为起源和人类生存行为领域具有重要意义。对遗址74093地点地层剖面的粒度、磁化率、碳氧同位素和有机碳分析表明,遗址代表了晚更新世早期至MIS3阶段的梨益沟第三级基座阶地沉积序列,总体显示由牛轭湖逐渐转为河漫滩沉积环境,沉积水动力条件相对较弱。粒度大小和磁化率呈正相关关系,粗颗粒对应较高的磁化率值。剖面沉积经历了由相对温暖湿润→相对稳定的干燥寒冷→波动的干燥寒冷→逐渐转暖4个阶段;古人类集中活动于剖面下部,年代为晚更新世早期,大致对应于MIS5阶段,气候由相对温湿而转为稳定的寒冷环境。动物群指示的古人类活动时期的气候相对冷湿,古植被为疏林草地型景观。Abstract: The Xujiayao site (loc. 74093), situated in the Nihewan Basin, is one of the most important archaic Homo sapiens sites in north China, which is of significance to the study of origin and adaptive behaviors of modern human. The site was buriedo in the third based terrace of Liyigou River, When the sedimentary environment changed from an oxbow lake to a river floodplain. Based on the study of grain size, magnetic susceptibility, stable carbon and oxygen isotope, and total organic carbon of the profile at the locality of 74093, four stages of environmental changes are identified. Four major stages of environment and climate change are idenlikied. 1) relatively warm and humid stage to 2) cold and dry stable stage 3) fluctuated cool and dry stage and 4) relatively warm and fluctuated. stage hominid activities appeicd in Early Late Pleistocene (MIS5), corresponding to the climate change from relative warm and humid to stable cold and dry. Furthermore, it can be inferred from the fauna remains that the early hominids adapted to the relatively cold and humid weather in the landscape of grassland with sparse forest. The results are of significance to the study of the relationship between hominid occupation and environmental changes as well as the adaptive behaviors of early humans at the Xujiayao site.
