【摘要】 北京猿人第一头盖骨的出土层位历来在学者当中存在争议。由于周口店第一地点堆积环境的复杂性以及早年发掘记录方面不可避免的一些缺陷,导致这一问题至今没有得到有效的解决。本文通过对北京猿人遗址发掘历史及堆积状况的综合对比分析,提出:北京猿人第一头盖骨出土层位相当于现今西壁剖面的第10层,即综合剖面的第11层。更多还原

【Abstract】 In 1933, Black et al subdivided the deposits in the cave into 3 different regions: the Main Deposit, the Lower Fissure and the Kotzetang.From then on, however, some controversies regarding the correlation of different strata in the three regions have arisen.Specifically, the first skull of Peking Man, which was definitely unearthed from the Lower Fissure, has always been virtually located in two different layers of the Main Deposit.Lin Shenglong recently published a paper proposing the stratum bearing the first skull of Peking Man be correlated with layer 11 of the Main Deposit.However, based mainly on the original reports in the 1920s and 1930s, we have readily come to an otherwise conclusion by employing the principles of stratigraphy.As a result, we tentatively propose here that it would be even more appropriate if the SE stratum was correlated with layer 10 of the Main Deposit.更多还原
