摘要
民族考古学曾运用相似性概念对许多地区狩猎采集者的行为进行了研究,相关的民族考古学资料为研究旧石器时代晚期现代人的迁移性提供了可能。随着东北亚地区出土黑曜岩遗物遗址的增加,相应的黑曜岩产地分析研究也日益增多,目前有关长白山黑曜岩产地研究的资料已显著累积。本文参考了现今狩猎采集者的民族学资料,以产自长白山的黑曜岩遗物及分布于特定区域的有柄尖刃器为研究对象,发现晚更新世时期(MIS 2)东北亚现代人拥有广大的直接或间接活动范围。对现代人迁移性的研究不仅为区域石器制作技术的对比分析提供了便利,也为了解古人类的生存环境及适应策略提供了重要资料。
Due to the development of technology and the increase in the number of specialized researchers,a considerable amount of Late Pleistocene sites have been found in Northeast Asia.Issues concerning modern human fossils,Pleistocene environment,lithic manufacturing techniques and human adaptation have been debated based on these archaeological sites.In particular,the provenance analysis of special raw materials as obsidian enables the researches on the movement and the scope of activities of modern humans during the late Pleistocene who had to continuously be on the move for survival.Most researchers have estimated the mobility of hunter-gatherers based on ethnographic researches.The direct and indirect scope of migration of the modern humans can be assumed through the range of Tanged Points and obsidian artifacts of Mt.Baekdu(Changbai).Unlike other lithic manufacturing techniques,the obsidian artifacts were not passed on to several generations but usually used and discarded by a single generation.Benefited from obsidian’s unique chemical composition,it could been seen as the most reliable evidence to indicate the scope of migration.Lithic manufacturing techniques such as Levallois,Crest,and Yubetsu were widely disseminated over a long time,which is not appropriate to use these lithic techniques to estimate the scope of movement of modern humans.However,the Tanged Point,which had been popularly utilized in a short chronological period and enjoyed a limited distribution in the Northeast Asian region.Based on the distribution of obsidian artifacts from Mt.Baekdu(Changbai)and the Tanged Points,the scope of activity of the modern humans during the Late Pleistocene(MIS 2)is estimated as 193,000~520,000 km2.
