第四纪岩溶洞穴堆积与古人类活动

在人类发展过程中,石灰岩洞穴往往为古人类提供了居住条件。在我国北方和南方许多石灰岩溶洞内,不仅发现大量的哺乳类化石,并且有些成为重要的文化遗址,如著名的北京周口店第一地点洞穴的北京猿人遗址等。在地层上,一些洞穴在山区可以成为易存第四纪堆积物的场所,厚度可以达到数十米;甚至数米厚的堆积层中也能记录着第四纪古环境的重要变化。

DEPOSITS IN QUATERNARY LIMESTONE CAVES IN RELATION TO THE LIFE OF EARLY MAN

The evolution of Karst is a tonal thing, and limestone cav sedimenrs reflect palaeoclimatic changes to。certain extent. As。result of the frequent climatic fluctuation in the Quaternary, and the effects of various geological functions inside and outside the cave, Karst caves have different processes of filling development. The prehistoric man used to live in limestone caves, their life was certaily affected by the filling of cave deposits. It may help us understand why the early men living in cave of the age same were very different from one another if we know these through study and analysis of their changes.
