本文试图对岭南地区晚更新世到早全新世的白莲洞遗存及其同一文化系统的诸遗存作一探讨和复原,同时也兼论一些有关工艺、分期和文化命名的问题。以往,对这一时期的考古资料,尤其是对全新世前期的材料,有各种不同的处理方法,迄今仍未取得一致的意见。下面我们就以发表过的资料为起点,主要针对白莲洞遗存及其从属者的文化性质,勾画出岭南地区这一时期的人类文化发展的模式。 This paper attempts to discuss and recover the remains of the Bailian Caves from the Late Pleistocene to the Early Holocene in the Lingnan area and the remnants of the same cultural system, and at the same time discusses some issues concerning the process, staging and cultural naming. In the past, there have been various approaches to deal with the archaeological data of this period, especially the materials of the early Holocene. So far, no consensus has been reached. Here we start with the published information, focusing mainly on the cultural properties of the Bailian Caves remains and their dependents, and outline the mode of human cultural development during the period of Lingnan.
