摘　　要：2001年春季,在安徽芜湖石镇发现了一处富含脊椎动物化石的称为金盆洞的洞穴堆积。翌年秋季,对金盆洞化石点进行了为期1个月的野外地质调查和化石发掘,发现人工石制品和哺乳动物化石共伴,收集到10余件人工制品和3千余件哺乳动物化石,初步搞清了这一地点的地层、化石种类分布及其时代。经初步研究,金盆洞出土的动物化石可以归入8个目18个科23个属27个种哺乳动物;该动物群与和县龙潭洞的动物群最接近,其次为南京汤山葫芦洞的动物群较接近,其生存时代很可能是中更新世晚期。金盆洞旧石器地点的发现进一步证明了长江下游石灰岩地区的洞穴和裂隙堆积中具有发现史前人类活动遗迹的潜力。Within the framework of the program 'The Late Pleistocene human origin and evolution in China and its environmental background'an investigation and excavation were carried out from October 7^(th) to November 12^(th), 2002 at Jinpendong (31°13.2′N,118°23′E), 16km north to Wuhu City in Anhui Province of China. The deposits excavated are cave-fissure fillings and composed of four main layers. The fossil bearing layer is the fourth counted from the top to bottom. More than ten pieces of artifacts and more than three thousands pieces of mammal fossil were collected. The latter can be attributed into 8 orders, 18 families, 23 genera and 27 species. The fauna is closest to that from the Longtandong at Hexian associated with Homo erectus and very similar to that from Huludong at Tangshan also associated with Homo erectus.Judging from the fauna as a whole the age of Jinpendong is suggested to be the late stage of the Middle Pleistocene. The investigation revealed stratigraphic details of the site and clarified the distribution of fossil bearing layers for further excavation. The discovery of the artifacts proves that there were human activities at Wuhu during the Middle. It proves that the karstic cave-fissure deposits along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River bear great potential for prehistory research.
