摘要
郧县人I号头骨、郧县人II号头骨分别于1989年5月和1990年6月出土于中国湖北省郧县直立人遗址。2000年以来中法两国学者对遗址进行了深入研究,在考古学、古人类学、沉积学、微观形态学、地球化学、磁性地层学、地球年代学和孢粉学研究方面取得了一些新成果。研究成果显示遗址的年代在距今984000-780000年之间,两具头骨化石的年代在距今936000年左右,是世界上更新世早期重要的直立人化石之一;郧县人遗址石制品面貌比较古老,是中国南方典型的砾石石器文化传统。
The Number 1 and Number 2 Homo erectus craniums were excavated from the Yuanxian site in Yunxian County of Hubei province in May 1989 and June 1990, respectively. Since 2000, the site have been carefully studied by Chinese and French scholars, with new techniques in ar- chaeology, palaeoanthropology, sedimentology, micro morphology, geochemistry, magnetic stratigra- phy, geochronology and palynology. New studies reveal that the site is dated between 984,000 and 780,000 years before the present. Especially the time of the two craniums, which are two of the import- ant Early Pleistocene fossils in the world, is about 936,000 years before the present. The stone tools re- covered from this site represent the typical pebble-core tool tradition in South China.
