西藏色林错周边旧石器时代晚期古人类遗存的考古学研究

登上青藏高原高海拔地区（海拔4500米以上）是人类适应高原甚至是人类演化进程中的里程碑。古人类的进驻、迁徙与生存模式是学界关注的热点。本项研究拟在尼阿底遗址和色林错周边开展正式发掘、有针对性的试掘和系统的考古学调查，揭示尼阿底及周边遗址的石器技术特征和文化传统，厘清色林错南部古人类活动遗存的时空分布，力争在色林错东、西和北部寻找具有明确地层依据的古人类旧石器遗址。项目组将通过多学科交叉合作，探讨旧石器时代早期现代人对高原环境的适应策略与生计方式。

Human occupation of the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau (above 45oo meters above sea level) is one of the milestones in human adaption to plateau, even human evolution. The time and process of hominids colonization and the adaption strategy are hotly debated. Aiming at finding more human remains in situ in addition to Nwya Devu, this project will carry out systematic investigations and test excavations around Siling Co. Further excavation of Nwya Devu site will be conducted to explore the different cultural layers besides 40-30 ka. Lithic analysis, zoo archaeology, dating method and paleo-environment study will be employed in our project to reveal the lithic technology diffusion, tempo-spatial framework and adaption strategy.
