略论史前聚落的萌芽与发生

聚落作为人类重要的文化现象,普遍发达于新石器时代,但其本身也存在着一个漫长的发展过程。从世界范围来看,聚落的萌芽似应发端于晚期直立人以来的地面穴居现象,并随着房屋建筑、墓葬以及窖穴等诸多要素的相继出现而日渐复杂。至迟在旧石器时代晚期可能就逐渐开始形成了一些较为显著的聚落布局规划现象,为史前聚落的进一步发展奠定了基础。

On the Germination and Occurrence of the Prehistory Settlements

As an important cultural phenomenon of human, settlements developed widely in the Neolithic Age, but they themselves came through an endless developing process. Viewing from the global scale, the occurrence of settlements seemed to have started from the ground cave dwelling since the late period of homo erectus. With the appearance of many essential factors such as houses, cellars and graves, settlements became more and more complex. No later than the late Paleolithic Age, some obvious phenonena of the settlements layout came into being, which laid a foundation for the further development of prehistoric settlements.
