摘要:阿舍利技术的两个核心要素在于剥取大石片以及制作手斧等定型化大型工具。目前,国内有关手斧工业的研究中,关注较多的是大型工具的加工与制作,而对于大石片生产的方式与策略则缺乏系统的研究和介绍。本文重点介绍和综述了目前国外发现和报道的大石片生产技术,并对每种技术的具体特点进行了分析和阐释。根据剥片复杂程度的不同,阿舍利大石片生产技术可细分为三类;第一类指砾石初级剥片技术,是利用原料的自然特征,选择合适台面和剥片角度进行单次剥片;第二类包括两面剥片技术、板状石核剥片技术和昆比哇技术,是在了解原料特征的基础上,对石核进行有计划的剥片,以便连续生产出多个大石片;第三类包括奇尔基技术、塔拜勒巴拉-塔奇恩基特技术和西维多利亚技术,是在较为复杂的剥片流程引导下,通过对石核的预制,获取具有相对稳定形态的大石片。在此基础上,初步分析了广西百色盆地发现的大型石核和大石片标本,探讨其在深入认识该地区石器工业面貌方面的作用和意义。

A study on the production patterns and strategies of the Acheulean large flakes
LEI Lei, LI Dawei, MA Xiaorong
Abstract: Producing large flakes and making the Large Cutting Tools are two core elements of the Acheulean technology. Compared with the extensive studies on the making of Acheulean tools, the technologies and strategies of producing Acheulean large flakes have received less attention in China. In this study, we focus on introducing a variety of the large flake production technologies abroad, with the analysis of the patterns and characteristics of each method. According to the complexity of these methods, we have divided them into three groups. The first group mainly refers to the Cobble Opening Technology, which uses natural features of the cobble to produce a single large flake. The second group includes Bifacial Core Method, Sliced Slab Method and Kombewa Method, which share common technological characteristics of producing a series of large flakes by effectively organizing the reductional sequences of large cores. The third group includes the Chirki Method, the Tabelbala-Tachenghit Method and the Victoria West Method, which are the most sophisticated core flaking technologies in the Acheulean. Those methods have already shown a certain degree of core preparation and result in the production of large flakes with consistent morphology. Based on the above analysis, we present a preliminary study of large cores and flakes discovered from the Baise Basin in South China, and furthermore,discuss the significance of these products in completing our understanding of the lithic technology in the region.
