摘　　要：水洞沟遗址第8地点是水洞沟遗址群的重要地点之一。2003年,对其进行正式发掘,揭露面积16m2,文化层内包含用火遗迹、石制品、哺乳动物化石及鸵鸟蛋皮串珠等。本文观察和研究的石制品七百余件,总体上显示中国北方地区石片石器工业的技术特征。根据该地点文化层的14C测年数据,该地点的年代为27,040±150 BP,经Int Cal09曲线校正后数据为31,323±101BP,与水洞沟第2地点的第2文化层年代(29.9ka^31.3ka BP)大致相当。Shuidonggou Locality 8,one of the Shuidonggou site clusters found in 2003,is located on the right side of a tributary（Biangou River） of Yellow River.Its geographical position is 38°17′29″ N,106°31′3″ E and lies at an altitude of 1200 m.A joint archaeological team from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology and the Ningxia Provincial Institute of Archaeology conducted a series of excavations in 2003.The excavated area of 16 m2 was exposed and three archaeological layers（more than 3.5m in thickness） were identifi ed.The strata are described as follows：Layer 1：Yellowish and grayish silt.0.15 m in thickness;Layer 2：Light yellowish silt,planar bedding,blocky structure,calcareous cement with some nodules and charcoal,fi rm.Contains Upper Paleolithic stone artifacts,animal fossils and ostrich eggshell beads.0.4-0.5m in thickness;Layer 3：Light fi ne sand,planar bedding,blocky structure.2.75-2.85 m in thickness,not to the bottom.A total of 801 artifacts were collected from the site,mostly from the yellowish silt stratum（Layer 2）.Lithic artifacts（n=776） included fl akes（n=733）,cores（14）,chunks（n=15）,retouched tools（n=11） and small pebbles（n=3）.The general characteristics of the stone assemblage are summarized as follows：Raw materials included quartz sandstone,chert,siliceous dolomite quartz and siliceous volcanic rock with quartz sandstone being the predominant material（44.2%）,followed by siliceous dolomite and chert.Flakes represented 91.51% of the total assemblage with complete flakes numbering 195 and incomplete flakes numbering 86.Platform types were cortex and plain,followed by linear,scarred cutting platforms.There were eight percussion cores and six bipolar cores.Platforms of the percussion cores were mainly artificial,followed by cortex platform.Primary reduction was hard hammer percussion,followed by bipolar fl aking.Other than fl akes and cores,there were also chunks,scrapers（primarily single-edged）,two stone hammer,an anvil,a
