摘要
鲁山仙人洞Ⅰ遗址经过2020和2021年两次系统发掘,共出土包括牙齿、骨骼在内的动物遗存万余件.通过系统的分类和研究表明,仙人洞动物群成员均为哺乳动物,至少代表3目9科10个属种,包括沙鼠、中华鼢鼠、黄鼬、狼、獐、麝、梅花鹿、野猪、山羊和羚羊.动物群均为现生种,未发现灭绝种,其时代明显晚于许昌灵井动物群,与栾川龙泉洞、郑州老奶奶庙遗址、周口店田园洞等动物群具有一定相似性,应同属晚更新世晚期动物群.根据对出土动物化石的分析结果表明,当时遗址周围的环境是以低山森林、平原草地为主的复合型山间盆地景观.
Abstract
After two systematic excavations in 2020 and 2021,over 10,000 pieces of teeth,bones and other animal remains have been unearthed from Cave Ⅰ of Xianrendong Site,Lushan.In the light of systematic classification and research,it is found that mammals made up the entire fauna of Xianrendong Site,and that there are at least 10 genera from 9 families and 3 orders,including gerbils,Chinese zokors,weasels,wolves,roes,musk deer,sika deer,boars,goats and antelopes.All of the fauna are extant,and none of them is extinct.The fauna,obviously younger than that of Lingjing Site in Xuchang,bear certain similarities to the fauna of Longquan Cave in Luanchuan,Laonainaimiao Site in Zhengzhou,and Tianyuan Cave in Zhoukoudian,and they should all be the fauna of late Pleistocene.Results of the analysis of unearthed animal fossils show that,at that time,the environment of the site was a superimposed intermontane basin featuring low mountains,forests,plains and grasslands.
