摘　　要：距今4万年前后是中国华北地区晚更新世人类演变的一个关键阶段,下川遗址下文化层正处于这一阶段,其出土的物质文化遗存对于探讨中国晚更新世的区域多样性和人类行为的演化过程具有重要意义。富益河圪梁地点的文化内涵最为丰富,旧石器时代晚期早段文化层出土了大量石制品。其中,研磨盘和重型石器以石英砂岩为原料,而刮削器、尖状器、凹缺器等轻型石器主要采用黑色燧石制作而成。为了解燧石制品的功能及其相关的人类行为,本次研究对富益河圪梁地点旧石器时代晚期早段文化层2014年发掘出土的53件燧石标本开展了全面的微痕分析。结果表明燧石制品功能多样,包括加工木、肉和骨等多种材料,显示出该地点丰富的人类活动。燧石制品使用较为灵活,多采用锋利的非修理刃。加工木材是富益河圪梁地点燧石制品最常见的功能,反映出该地点人群对于植物资源的开发和利用。The Upper Paleolithic period in North China began around 40,000 years ago,demonstrating increased cultural variability.While many sites primarily employed simple core and flake technology,new technologies emerged in several locations.Innovations in ochre processing,bone tools and ornaments,long-distance obsidian transportation,and intra-site spatial organization further illustrate the complex nature of human evolution and interaction between different cultural groups.However,it is argued that contextual factors such as environmental conditions and preservation variations may have influenced the cultural variability found in the archaeological record.Due to the poor preservation of organic materials in Paleolithic contexts,it is essential to reconstruct human activities through use-wear analysis of well-preserved lithic artifacts.The Xiachuan site,with its well-preserved archaeological layers dating back approximately 44~30 kaBP(calibrated),holds great significance in the ongoing discussion about behavioral variability in North China.Among these,the Fuyihegeliang Locality(35°26′22″N,112°0′43″E),which was re-excavated in 2014,uncovered abundant archaeological remains in the Early Upper Paleolithic layers(40~30 kaBP,calibrated).These include a large number of lithic artifacts,grindstones,ochre,and several hearths.The lithic assemblage is dominated by a simple core and flake technology,with small lithic artifacts mainly made from black chert and heavy-duty implements mainly made from quartz sandstone.While previous studies on lithic artifacts focused on typological and technological analyses,limited knowledge exists regarding tool functions and their correlation with human activities.This study fills this gap by presenting the results of a meticulous use-wear analysis of 53 chert artifacts sampled from the Early Upper Paleolithic layer at the Fuyihegeliang Locality recovered in 2014.The sample includes various tool types such as scrapers,points,denticulates,spur-like tools,notches,retouched flakes,retouched
