The chronologies of few Neolithic sites in the lower reaches of the Min River of China have been well investigated for the middle to late Holocene. In this study, the Hengyu Neolithic site in Fujian Province, South China, which has significant archaeological remains, was dated using blue‐stimulated optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon (AMS¹⁴C) techniques. The results, comprising nine OSL and three AMS¹⁴C ages through the Neolithic sequence, provide new evidence towards understanding the relationship between environmental evolution and human activities in the middle to late Holocene in the Fuzhou Basin and coastal areas of South China. The ages of the site deposits vary from 6.83 to 1.67 ka and can be divided into two main phases: the Keqiutou–Tanshishan culture period and the Bronze culture period. In contrast, the persistent periods of ancient human activities at the Hengyu site seem to correspond to regional sea‐level changes and the East Asian winter monsoon as a secondary factor, which can affect human activities through sea‐level impacts. The warm and high sea level conditions provided a liveable environment for the ancient humans of Fujian and even South China. The ages of two building column bases are linked to the early stage of the Han dynasty, suggesting a potentially favourable habitation environment; that is, ancient humans occupied and settled this area for the long term within this time period, which is consistent with sea‐level changes and palynology records.

GEOGRAPHY IN NIGERIA     

《The Professional geographer》2013,65(4):417-419

Cultural geographers often ascribe early animal domestications to the spiritual propitiation practices of ancient peoples, an interpretation that is not widely shared. This paper evaluates the sacrifice theory against Near Eastern archaeological data and refutes the idea that ritual sacrifice could have induced the earliest animal domestications of the Near East. The earliest domestications were the outcome of essentially ecological and economic processes which later gave rise to the sacrificial practices referred to by cultural geographers.  相似文献   

Evidence for an extreme climatic event on Achill Island,Co. Mayo,Ireland around 5200–5100 cal. yr BP     

C. Caseldine  G. Thompson  C. Langdon  D. Hendon 《第四纪科学杂志》2005,20(2):169-178

A range of detailed palaeoenvironmental analyses carried out on a series of three peat profiles from Achill Island, Co. Mayo, western Ireland, reveal evidence for an extreme climatic event, probably a storm or series of storms, around 5200–5100 cal. yr BP that caused the deposition of an extensive layer of silt across blanket peat. This event followed a period of relatively dry climate during which Neolithic communities expanded in the region. There was a subsequent period of continuing dry conditions allowing extensive colonisation of the peat by Pinus before a shift to wetter conditions characteristic of the later Holocene. The extreme climatic event is possibly linked to human abandonment of the area comparable to that observed from the work on the internationally significant Céide Fields in the same region.

6000~2000a B.P.丝绸之路国内段人类活动的时空格局与影响因素研究     

董广辉  芦永秀  刘培伦  李刚 《第四纪研究》2022,42(1):1-16+332

丝绸之路国内段主要包括丝路东段(西安至敦煌)和丝路中段(新疆地区),是丝路文明演化的主体地段,也是古丝绸之路开通之前跨大陆交流的关键地段。丝路东段和中段降水的时空格局存在显著差异,人类活动历史也有明显区别。然而,6000 a B.P.("B.P."为"距今(1950 A.D.)年")左右丝路东段农业强化之后,至古丝绸之路开通(约2000 a B.P.)该地区人地关系演化的时空过程和动力尚不清晰。文章通过总结丝绸之路国内段沿线地区已发表的碳十四测年与植物考古资料,结合丝路东段和中段古气候记录的对比分析,探讨了该地区6000~2000 a B.P.人类活动的时空格局和影响因素。结果显示,丝路东段6000~4000 a B.P.的粟黍农业发展促进了农业人群的广泛扩张,人类活动强度还受到降水变化的影响;4000~2000 a B.P.该地区人类活动强度的主要影响因素是跨大陆交流带来的生业模式多样化、生产工具的革新和地缘政治形势变化,而不是气候变化。丝路中段6000~4000 a B.P.人类活动强度很低,4000~2000 a B.P.人类活动强度显著提升,与降水变化呈现较为一致的特征,青铜时代的降温则可能导致人类定居空间的南向移动。本研究显示丝绸之路国内段不同时间与空间人地关系演变过程和主导因素存在显著差异,有助于理解丝绸之路开通之前其核心区的人与环境相互作用变化过程和机制。  相似文献   

广西隆安娅怀洞遗址出土动物遗存初步研究     

宋艳波  谢光茂  赵文丫 《第四纪研究》2020,(2):343-353

娅怀洞遗址是广西近年又一项重要考古发现,是一处石器时代洞穴遗址,文化遗存分为4期,第一至第三期属于旧石器时代晚期,第四期属于新石器时代晚期.本文以该遗址出土动物遗存为研究对象,鉴定其种属、部位、死亡年龄和性别等信息,观察遗存保存状态和表面痕迹,对其进行尺寸和重量测量.在此基础上,对其进行可鉴定标本数、最小个体数和骨骼发现率的统计,并依据统计结果进行自然环境的复原、人类行为和生业经济的初步分析.遗址出土动物包括软体动物(瓣鳃纲和腹足纲)和脊椎动物(鱼纲、爬行动物纲、鸟纲和哺乳动物纲),计27科19种(属).分析结果显示:自旧石器时代晚期到新石器时代晚期,遗址出土的主要动物,都包括有扁蜷螺科、方形环棱螺、斜口环棱螺、梨形环棱螺、高大环口螺、塔锥短沟蜷、佛耳丽蚌、刻纹丽蚌、三型矛蚌、圆顶珠蚌、河蚬、鲤鱼、青鱼、鳖科、龟科、钝吻鳄科、鸭科、雉科、猕猴、猪獾、野猪、牛亚科、羊亚科和不同体型的鹿科动物等,这表明自旧石器时代晚期到新石器时代晚期,遗址附近的自然条件没有发生大的改变,一直都存在有茂密的森林和相对广阔的水域,各种动植物资源都非常丰富;动物构成始终以哺乳动物纲中的鹿科和猪科数量最多,说明自旧石器时代晚期到新石器时代晚期,先民一直以狩猎鹿科和猪科为代表的野生哺乳动物来获取主要的肉食资源,同时也采集野生植物、捕捞水生的螺类、鱼类和爬行类作为食物资源的补充;从保存数量最多的鹿科和猪科骨骼发现率来看,存在有部分长骨骨骼缺失的现象,说明遗址并非先民宰杀肢解动物的主要场所,遗址中的动物多为先民宰杀肢解后带来的;鹿科动物掌/跖骨及与之相连的腕跗部骨骼发现率普遍较高,且要明显高于同时期的猪科动物,可能与先民有意识选择鹿科动物该部位的骨骼来制作骨器的行为有关;大量出土螺类存在壳顶缺失的现象,这应该与先民对螺肉的取食有关,与娅怀洞遗址的年代相当的柳州白莲洞遗址也存在类似的现象.从旧石器时代晚期到新石器时代晚期的纵向演变来看,先民对哺乳动物的利用程度是在逐渐增加的,对鱼的利用程度是大幅度减少的,对腹足动物的利用也有一定程度的减少,遗址动物群构成的这种变化体现了新石器时代晚期先民生活方式和生业经济选择(定居和农业)的变化.  相似文献   

关中地区新石器文化发展与环境演变耦合关系研究   总被引：16，自引：4，他引：12  

庞奖励  黄春长 《地理科学》2003,23(4):448-453

通过对周原全新世古土壤和关中新石器文化的研究,认为新石器文化对环境变化有积极的响应,但这种响应在时间上有一定的滞后,其中5800~5000a B. P.间的以干旱为特征的环境恶化是造成关中仰韶文化衰落最主要的原因;探讨了环境因素在新石器文化发展过程中的地位和作用,认为人类文化是地球表层系统的组成要素之一,其发展受到自然环境的约束。  相似文献   

Archaeological objects in loesses recognized by GPR research at the site Karmanowice,Poland     

Artur Poręba  Wacław M. Zuberek  Jolanta Nogaj-Chachaj  Andrzej Kotyrba  Sławomir Siwek 《Acta Geophysica》2007,55(4):640-651

The aim of the research was to examine subsurface soil layers with the use of the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) method. Neolithic archaeological post in Karmanowice was examined. On the basis of earlier geophysical researches and archaeological premises, eight measurement profiles had been chosen. Ground Penetrating Radar system with antenna of 500 MHz frequency was applied. The measurements were made with 30 and 60 ns time windows. The results were shown as the GPR sections. The analysis of the obtained results allowed us to outline anomalies connected with the appearance of archaeological objects in subsurface soil layers. The border between the anthropogenically changed upper layer and undisturbed loess was established, and the sections of slope wash layers were designated. Anomalies were confirmed by digging and test drillings. Additionally, 2D resistivity imaging method was used for verification of specific anthropogenic anomalies.  相似文献   

江苏江阴祁头山新石器时代遗址考古地层研究   总被引：3，自引：2，他引：3

江阴祁头山遗址区有厚达 2 4 8cm厚的马家浜文化层。对该遗址地层的孢粉、微体古生物沉积学和环境磁学分析表明 :江阴在马家浜文化时期就已经成陆 ,此时海岸线分布在该区以北 ,江阴北门外护城河北的马家浜文化遗址可作为证据之一。剖面磁化率分析结果表明马家浜文化期间温暖湿润 ,适宜的气候促使人口急剧增多 ,稻作农业得以起源并迅速发展。马家浜文化层之上出现间断现象 ,可能是长江三角洲地区 4 0 0 0 a BP前后普遍存在的特大洪水所致。该时期洪水可能威胁先民的生存 ,农业生产无法正常进行。由于丧失基本的生活资料 ,先民可能迁居他处 ,寻找适宜生存而不受洪水威胁的区域生活 ,由此形成了马家浜文化和近现代之间文化间断现象。  相似文献
