摘要
上马坎旧石器遗址发现的石制品依其总性质可归中国南方旧石器时代主工业(下简称南方主工业)。依试掘结果看,可能存在一个相对集中的活动面,在阶地顶面下311—315cm处,发现石制品13件,占试掘石标本的35 13%,占石制品的44 83%;从平面分布看,上述13件中有8件发现于513—581cm之间,由此看来活动面中心区可能偏西。该地点的时代,与宣州陈山地点对比,最早的可能不晚于距今40万年前,最晚的进入更新世晚期。
One hundred and seven pieces of stone artifacts collected from the Shangmakan paleolithic site in Anji County, Zhejiang Province have been described and analyzed in this paper. On the basis of the characters of these stone artifacts, the assemblage belongs to the Principal Paleolithic Industry of South China. Within the deposition sequence of the site exposed by the tentative excavation, an artifact concentration surface was identified, laid about 311—315cm underneath the top of the second terrace. Thirteen artifacts were unearthed from this surface. These make up 44.8% of the total stone artifacts discovered from the excavation pit at the site. The age of the site may be dated ranging from about 0.45 Ma Bp to the Upper Pleistocene according to stratigraphic comparisons with the Chenshan Paleolithic site in Xuanzhou County, Anhui province and ESR dates derived from the site.Shangmakan Paleolithic site is the first Paleolithic site found in Zhejiang Province. Preliminary investigation at the site indicates that it is of significant value to the study of South China's prehistory, and it may become one of the most important Paleolithic sites in South China if multi-disciplinary studies will be conducted in the future.
