摘要
一、引言面对险恶的生存环境,初上西藏高原的人们在体会了缺氧、寒冷、资源缺乏后,都不仅要问人类何时拓殖这一片广袤的高原。西藏高原有无旧石器时代遗存,是21世纪世界考古学的大问题。目前人类起源“出非洲说(Out of Africa)”大行其道,
In recent years, a series of new viewpoints emerged in the Paleolithic Archaeology of Tibetan Plateau, which are worthy of in-depth analyses. The re-analyses to the typology of the stone implements of the locus on the northeast bank of Xardai Co Lake revealed that this locus contained hand-axes, cleavers, choppers and other typical artifacts of Acheulean Industry. This situation is not an isolated case in western Himalaya region and might be related to the Acheulean tradition mixed with chopper tradition in the northern South Asian Subcontinent. The date of this locus would be before the mid Paleolithic Age and the time and mode for the early human beings to enter the Tibetan Plateau need reconsiderations.
