学者们早就认识到有机文物的重要性,以提高对旧石器时代人类的经济和社会行为的理解。然而,与世界其他地区的考古研究相比,中国的骨质工业只受到有限的关注。因此,作为打破这种平衡的第一步,本文研究了水洞沟第12地点(SDG 12)狩猎采集者工具包中的一个特殊元素--一个成型的野猪象牙。形态学和测量的象牙与古生物标本和骨文物从同一地点的比较表明,磨损模式的牙本质表面之一是没有显着不同的咬合磨损在活着的动物,而线性条纹的其他牙本质方面最有可能是人工研磨痕迹形成的史前工具制造商在试图制造刮刀。SDG 12的象牙标本是中国旧石器时代晚期磨齿的第一个证据。目前的研究表明,水洞沟地区的古人类已经实现了对周围可用的骨质材料的物理性质的理解,并最终扩大了他们的原料选择的范围,通过添加一个特定的元素,以库存的生存工具。
Scholars have long recognized the importance of organic artifacts to an improved understanding of the economic and social behavior of Palaeolithic hominins. However, in contrast to archaeological studies in other parts of the world, osseous industries from China have received only limited attention. As one of the first steps aiming at tipping this balance, the current paper examines, therefore, a shaped boar tusk—one particular element of hunter-gatherers’ tool kit at Shuidonggou Locality 12 (SDG12). Morphological and metrical comparisons of the tusk with both paleontological specimens and bone artifacts from the same site demonstrate that wear pattern on one of the dentin surfaces of the tooth is not significant different from occlusal attritions in living animals, while linear striations on the other dentin facet are most probably artificial grinding marks formed by prehistoric toolmakers in attempts to manufacture a scraper. The tusk specimen from SDG12 represents the first evidence of a ground tooth in Upper Palaeolithic China. The current study indicates that hominins in Shuidonggou area had achieved a deepened understanding of physical properties of osseous material available in environs and ultimately broadened their range of raw material selection by adding a particular element to the inventory of subsistence tools.
