淮河中游地区史前人类文化演化过程的环境考古学观察

淮河中游地区位于我国东部地理、气候等自然条件多重过渡地带,又是长江流域与黄河流域、东部沿海与西部腹地之间古文化相互交流、碰撞和融合的重要区域,也是中华文明孕育和发展的重要地区之一。淮河中游地区新石器时代考古学文化的演化过程与全新世气候环境的变迁密切相关。暖干型气候条件有利于史前人类文化的发展,而冷湿型气候环境则不利于人类的生存繁衍。该地区文化的演化过程充分反映了史前人类对全新世气候环境变化的适应性和主观能动性。

Environmental Archaeological Observation on the Evolution of Prehistoric Human Culture in the Middle Huaihe River Basin

The area of the middle reaches of the Huaihe River lies in the east of China where natural conditions such as geography and climate transit.It is also an important area where the ancient cultures ex-changed,collided and integrated between the Yangtze River basin and the Yellow River basin and between eastern coastal regions and western hinterland,and one of the important areas that witnessed the birth and development of Chinese civilization.The evolutionary process of the Neolithic cultures in the middle reaches of the Huaihe River is closely related to the changes in climate environment in the Holocene.The warm and dry climatic conditions are favorable to the development of prehistoric human cultures,while the cold and humid climatic environment is not conducive to the survival and multiplication of mankind,which fully re-flects the adaptability and subjective initiative of the prehistoric humans living in this region to the climate change of the Holocene.
