黄河中游晋陕峡谷地区旧石器考古研究现状与思考
关键词：黄河中游晋陕峡谷，旧石器考古，研究现状，存在问题，工作契机
摘要：地处黄河中游的晋陕峡谷是中国气候变化的敏感地带，古人类迁徙扩散和文化交流频繁，旧石器文化内涵丰富，具有重大的科学价值和研究潜力。该地区已发现旧石器遗址和地点逾百处，在遗址地层与年代、石器技术、旧—新石器时代过渡、人类生存环境与适应策略等方面取得了许多重要的研究成果，同时也存在着旧石器考古工作极不平衡、时空框架尚未确立、综合研究局部突出而整体滞后、人群迁徙与文化交流研究仍需深化、旧—新石器时代过渡研究有待强化等问题，亟需通过系统的区域调查、精准的科学发掘和多学科的综合研究予以推进。

ABSTRACT: The Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge is situated in the middle Yellow River valley, a region that was sensitive to climatic fluctuations during the Pleistocene. Therefore, the Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge has long been regarded as one of the key regions in the Yellow River valley in the study of Palaeolithic archaeology. To date, more than one hundred Palaeolithic sites and localities have been found in this region. Fruitful results have also been achieved in this studies of site stratigraphy and chronology, lithic technology, Paleolithic-Neolithic transition, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, and human adaptation strategies. This paper also points out that more systematic surveys and excavations combined with multidisciplinary research and fieldwork methodologies are still needed in order to better understand the regional spatial-temporal framework, migrationand cultural exchange of ancient humans, and local neolithization process during the Palaeolithic period.
