内蒙古康巴什乌兰木伦河左岸旧石器遗址是2010年随着风景公园的建设而发现的，在2010-2012年的抢救性发掘中获得了大量哺乳动物标本。已确定的化石材料包括Myospalax sp.，仓鼠属，田鼠属，姬鼠属，Arvicola sp.？，跳鼠科，兔属，鼬科，Coelodonta antiquitatis、普氏野马Equus przewalskii、Camelus cf.动物区系分析表明，乌兰木伦遗址区的古环境可能是草原与森林的混合体或镶嵌体，并伴有少量的溪流和沼泽。年平均气温波动较大，冬季寒冷，夏季相对温暖。乌兰木伦动物群与包头动物群、石峪动物群、萨拉乌苏动物群和楼房子动物群同属一个古动物地理亚省，与东北地区小孤山动物群和颜家岗动物群不同，更与中国东部丹徒动物群不同。乌兰木伦地区适宜旧石器时代晚期人类的居住，乌兰木伦动物群是他们的主要狩猎对象。(C)2014 Elsevier Ltd和INQUA。All rights reserved.
Discovered in 2010 with the construction of Landscape Park on the left bank of Wulanmulun River in Kangbashi District of Nei Mongol, Wulanmulun Paleolithic Site yielded large quantities of mammalian specimens during 2010-2012 rescue excavations. Identified fossil materials include Myospalax sp., Cricetulus sp., Microtus sp., Apodemus sp., Arvicola sp.?, Dipodidae gen. et sp. indet., Lepus sp., Mustelidae gen. et sp. indet., Coelodonta antiquitatis, Equus przewalskii, Camelus cf. C knoblochi Megaloceros ordosianus and Gazella sp. The fauna analyses show that the paleoenvironment in Wulanmulun Site area might have been a mixture or mosaic of grassland and forest with some small streams and swamps. The fluctuation of annual temperature might have been high, with the winter very cold and the summer relatively warm. The Wulanmulun fauna is in the same paleozoogeographic sub-province as Baotou, Shiyu, Salawusu and Loufangzi faunas, different from that of the Xiaogushan and Yanjiagang faunas of Northeast China, and more different from that of the Dantu fauna of East China. The Wulanmulun area was suitable for the habitation of the late Paleolithic humans, and Wulanmulun fauna were their main hunting prey. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA. All rights reserved.
