摘要

An analysis of the lithic artifacts excavated by the late Mr. Zhimin An in 1978 from the Xiaonanhai (Hsiao-nan-hai) Cave site in Anyang County, Henan Province, is presented, in addition to the materials reported in 1965 from the first excavation. Analysis suggests the poor quality of the raw material (e.g. chert) was a major constraint on lithic production at Xiaonanhai. Highly developed fissures within the locally available chert resulted in lithic artifacts that are small in size. Hard hammer direct percussion was the primary mode of stone knapping. The bipolar technique was commonly used as well, which might have been employed to cope with the small, poor quality raw materials. Secondary retouch is simple and not sophisticated. Limited tool types could be classified; most are probably debitage or discarded blanks. Use-wear analysis indicates that most of the flakes were used to process soft materials. Based on the associated faunal diversity, the environment is characterized as a tropical/subtropical forest. This could be the reason for the expedient nature of lithic production at Xiaonanhai. The Xiaonanhai industry might not be related to the Zhoukoudian Locality 1 stone tool industry as traditionally thought, but instead may represent a specific adaptation to the local environment. In terms of what is currently known about the nature of Paleolithic stone tool technology in China, the unilinear model is no longer relevant to explain the Paleolithic development in North China. In order to better understand the complexity and diversity of human behavior, study of the adaptation and idiosyncrasy of specific lithic industries in terms of cultural ecology and how they reflect variability in time stress and risks is required.
