舜山集遗址是淮河中游地区发现最早的考古遗址之一。利用植硅体分析方法，对舜山集遗址3个暴露剖面的66个样品进行了研究，以期对该遗址稻作遗存的性质和淮河中游地区早期农业信息有一定的认识。顺山集遗址的一系列沉积物中存在可能来自驯化水稻（Oryza sativa）的水稻植硅体，这表明顺山集遗址在8500 ~ 7000 BP之间曾有人使用和栽培水稻，而旱作农业尚未到达该地区。此外，大量的野生型和中间型水稻植硅体以及部分驯化水稻植硅体的出现表明，水稻的驯化还处于早期阶段，随着时间的推移，选择压力逐渐改变了植硅体的形态。本文为认识淮河流域稻作农业的起源和早期发展提供了新的证据，也为揭示中国稻作农业北移和旱作农业南移的时空路径提供了线索。(C)2016 Elsevier Ltd和INQUA。All rights reserved.
The Shunshanji site is one of the earliest archaeological sites identified in the middle reaches of Huai River region. Using phytolith analysis, 66 samples from 3 exposed profiles at the Shunshanji site were studied in order to contribute to the understanding of the nature of rice remains at the site and early farming information in the middle reaches of the Huai River region of China. The presence of rice phytoliths possibly from domesticated rice (Oryza sativa) in a sequence of sediments from Shunshanji site suggests that rice had been used and cultivated at Shunshanji, while dry farming had not reached the area between 8500 and 7000 BP. In addition, the continuous occurrence of a large percentage rice phytoliths that fall into wild or intermediate types and some domesticated rice phytoliths increased in percentage through time indicate the rice domestication was in the early stage, and the selective pressure changed the phytoliths morphologies gradually with time. This paper provides new evidence for understanding the origin and early development of rice agriculture in the Huai River region, and some clues for discovering the temporal-spatial route for the northward spread of rice cultivation and southward spread of dry farming in China.
