How did the primitive humans of zhengzhou live in the distant and ancient age of old stone? 4 on the occasion of the 10th asian year of archaeological archaeology, held in zhengzhou, the city institute of archaeological archaeology and the institute of archaeology of beijing university published the main findings and research progress of the archaeology of zhengzhou, which established the late updating of the ancient human cultural development sequence in zhengzhou and the nakahara region, revealed archaeological evidence of the emergence of modern human beings in the central province and filled gaps in the transition phase of the old, neo-rock age。
It was described that since 2001, the municipal institute of archaeology and archaeological research had been cooperating with the institute of archaeology of beijing university. Over the past 20 years, a number of academic teams from both houses have carried out numerous archaeological excavations and investigations, which have led to a number of important discoveries and research results, including the discovery of the zhuangyang flying hole, the new mi li jiu, shin zhong zhong zhang and huang jigu, the site of the temple of the old grandmother of the 27th district, as well as the registration of saishi, dong shi and fang jiu。
Discovery i: late update of the creation of a sequence of ancient human cultural development in china
After almost 20 years of work, the chongzhou and china province have first been established to update the ancient human culture development sequence at a later stage, thereby providing a solid basis for the systematic display of the cultural development of the region since its late renewal, particularly the middle and late stages of the old stone culture。
The discovery and synthesis of studies showed that the region's gravel industry and the gravel-based crude stone-stone industry were paralleled by the early years of late renewal and that it was not until 50,000 years before that date that significant changes took place, leading to a small-scale stone industry. Monuments such as the upper layers of the knitting hole, the temple of the grandmother, zhao zhang, fong jiu, which were dominated by the miniaturization of stones, processing precisions and tectonic hairs around 50,000 years ago, have increased in number and have become more complex in structure, lasting around 40,000 years, and are characteristic of the development of the early stages of culture in the mid-to-late period of the paleolithic age in china and adjacent areas, roughly the same as in the early stages of the western side of the continent. Later on, advanced cultural development entered a new phase, corresponding to the early days of the late days of the paleolithic age。
The legacy of the seashell site, replacing the earlier popular stone industry, could be seen as the beginning of the later part of the old stone age. The latter part of the old stoner age, marked by the techniques of stone leaf and fine leaf, can also be divided into two parts, the preceding part marked by the techniques of stone leaf and the later part dominated by fine leaf. However, the period of prevalence of the preceding paragraph is short, starting only around 26,000 years today and ending with the emergence and development of ship-shaped fine-stone nuclear technology around 24,000 years today. The ship-shaped fine-leaf technology that took its place in the late stages of the paleolithic age continued until the turn of the old, neophylactic era around the ages. This process is a clear illustration of the late renewal of the ancient human cultural development sequence in central china。
Find two: reveal archaeological evidence of the emergence of modern humans in the central province
The paleolithic age began about 3 million years ago and ends around 10,000 years now. In the geological age, the paleolithic era covered the last and entire renewals of the last century. The paleolithic age covers more than 99 per cent of human history, in other words, the written history of human civilization, confined to the last minute of the clock. The new archaeological discoveries clearly show the complexity of the behaviour of the owners of simple rockstones in the late-renewal world and in the late-middle plains, especially the emergence of symbolic acts unique to modern human beings, such as deliberate arrangements for the layout of sites such as grandma's temple, the long-range transport of high-quality stone materials and advances in stone production techniques。
New zheng zhao was found at the site of the site, where the long-range removal of purple graphite sandstone was carried out, with special bases built into stone piles, and huge elephant remains placed, which were more visible. The relic of this complex activity, which is not utilitarian, whether motivated by fear or worship of the giants or by the desire to hunt for the harvest, is clearly symbolic and an important evidence of the emergence of modern human behaviour. Of particular importance is the fact that the classic stone-stone combination in zhengzhou combines similar discoveries from north china to south china, further proving the emergence of early modern humans in china with anatomical meaning, and the presence of a stone nuclei with a long-standing history in the region. – the close link between the legacy of the stone technology tradition and the old stone tools clearly demonstrates the regional characteristics of modern human origin and development in china and east asia。
The discovery of the stone leaves and fine stoner industries at the west and east scheffer sites shows more clearly the migration and cultural exchanges that took place in china and the central part of the east asian mainland during the late renewal period, confirming the existence of the north line of modern human proliferation. It follows from this that, as the present 40,000 to 50,000 years from the beginning and the surroundings have clearly emerged, the influence of the population or culture on the western side of the old continent is still limited to the north-west of ningxia caves, where it did not reach the mainland until 26,000 years ago。
Finding three: fill the gap in the transition of the old, new stone age
The new mi li trench site, which was discovered in 2009-2010, found the last pebble culture in the midwon region, the latter on which the pebbles are placed, and the latter in pei li gang. The results show that, from the end of the paleolithic era to the new stone age, people with different cultural traditions have long lived in the vicinity of sites, leaving behind various cultural legacies, providing important new evidence for exploring the transition from the paleolithic to the new stone age in central china and completing the historical transformation from hunting and gathering to agricultural societies。
The cultural layer beneath lee's ditch reveals the existence of a typical finer culture, consisting mainly of boat sizes and cone, pebble cores, fine leaves, etc., as well as a larger number of artificial lifting stones, which may be linked to residential activities. The discovery of raw platinum pottery and simple sharpened stone at the typical finer cultural level is an even greater reflection of the complexity of cultural development in the old, neo-rockal transition period in the middle east。
The fine stoner technology of the li jiu culture stage is declining. There has been a marked decrease in the proportion of the finer elements found in the layer, and the technology has become simpler and more casual. There has been a marked increase in grinding technology products, most commonly found in quarries, etc. While more complete animal bones and fragments were found, few large, medium-sized mammals, most of them smaller, showed that subsistence activities for the specialized hunting of large animals were no longer ongoing at this time. Meiofauna may be only a part of the food source of the residents of lee jiu at this stage. Although plant residues have not yet been discovered, the presence of large quantities of pottery indicates that pottery has become popular at this stage. Early pottery functions in the northern region may be mostly associated with the consumption and preservation of plant seeds。
The discovery of rich pottery in li jiujian cultural layers suggests that plant-based resources should be at this point in time. From the point of view of quarries to the li family ditch cultural layer, there has been a marked change in the first and second stages of the site, from the early movement of larger animals to specialized hunting, to the increased use of plant resources for settlement, and to the historical process of moving from hunting and gathering to settlement and agricultural development in the middle of the middle east。
According to expert scholars, the cultural archaeological discovery of lee jia gourd has been described by the academic community as a “long-awaited discovery”. These important archaeological achievements of zhengzhou, together with those of other chinese counterparts, demonstrate the importance of china's archaeology culture in the ancient stone age worldwide。
