小场梁（XCL）位于华北泥河湾盆地，是了解早期人类行为进化的重要考古地点。 XCL 的历史可追溯到约。 1.36Ma，是东北亚最早的遗址之一。尽管 XCL 是泥河湾盆地早更新世遗址的首次发掘，于 1970 年代被识别和挖掘，但石器组合的完整细节从未公布。在这里，我们描述了 XCL 的石器组合，提供了有关石器还原技术以及原材料对文物制造的影响的信息。 XCL 古人类使用双极和徒手还原技术来制造小薄片，其中一些经过修饰。 XCL 的双极还原方法的使用频率比以前认识到的要高。 XCL与泥河湾盆地其他早更新世遗址的比较表明，双极还原法和徒手还原法的使用多种多样，从而表明了在原材料利用方面的灵活方法。 XCL和泥河湾遗址的石器可归类为I型石器组合，很容易与东亚古人类制造的双面工业区分开来。 800 公里。
Xiaochangliang (XCL), located in the Nihewan Basin of North China, is a key archaeological locality for understanding the behavioural evolution of early humans. XCL dates to ca. 1.36 Ma, making it one of the earliest sites in Northeast Asia. Although XCL represents the first excavation of an Early Pleistocene site in the Nihewan Basin, identified and excavated in the 1970’s, the lithic assemblages have never been published in full detail. Here we describe the lithic assemblages from XCL, providing information on stone tool reduction techniques and the influence of raw materials on artefact manufacture. The XCL hominins used both bipolar and freehand reduction techniques to manufacture small flakes, some of which show retouch. Bipolar reduction methods at XCL were used more frequently than previously recognized. Comparison of XCL with other Early Pleistocene sites in the Nihewan Basin indicates the variable use of bipolar and freehand reduction methods, thereby indicating a flexible approach in the utilization of raw materials. The stone tools from XCL and the Nihewan sites are classifiable as Mode I lithic assemblages, readily distinguished from bifacial industries manufactured by hominins in Eastern Asia by ca. 800 ka.
