9、。考：欢迎到中国来参观周口店洞穴。很高兴见到你们这些来自英国并且对考古学感兴趣的学生。你们想必都很清楚，正是在这个地方，我们找到了居住在世界上这个地区的最早人类的证据。我们在这儿进行挖掘工作已经很多年了，而且学1：对不起，打断一下你的讲话。但他们怎么能住在这个地方呢？这儿只有石头和树木啊。考：问得好。你是个敏锐的观察者。在高山上的那些洞穴里我们找到了人骨和兽骨，还有工具和其他物品。因此我们有理由认为他们不顾严寒，就住在这些洞穴里。学2：那他们是怎样取暖的呢？他们不可能像我们现在这样有垫子、毯子和被子。想必是很不舒服的了。考：我们发现在洞穴中央有生火用的地炉。他们用地炉里的火来取暖、做饭，还可以
10、用火来吓跑野兽。我们一直在挖掘一层层的积灰，几乎有六米厚。这意味着他们可能整个冬天都在烧火。我们还没有找到门，但我们认为在天寒地冻的冬季他们可能是用兽皮挂在洞口来防寒的。学3：在那以前有些什么野兽呢？考：嗯，我们在洞里陆续发现老虎和熊的骨头。我们认为，这些野兽对他们来讲是最危险的敌人了。现在，你们看这个东西能告诉我们有关早期人类生活的什么情况呢？(指着一张画有针线的照片让大家看)学2：哎呀！那是一根针。天哪，难道他们还会修补东西吗？考：除此之外，你们认为它还可能有别的什么用处吗？学4：让我看看。这个东西最多三厘米长，噢，它看起来像是用骨头做的。我不知道他们是怎样做成针眼的学2：(插话)你是不是
11、说他们自己做衣服穿？他们又是从哪里搞到衣料的呢？考：他们没有像我们今天穿的这种衣料。你们能猜出他们用的是什么吗？学1：哇！他们穿的衣服全都是用兽皮做的吗？他们那些衣服是怎么做成的？我想兽皮剪裁并缝起来一定又厚又重啊。考：我们有证据表明，他们的确穿的是用兽皮制作的衣服。我们不断发现一些磨削其他工具用的工具。看样子他们用磨尖的石器来切割野兽并剥皮，可能再用小一些的刮子把皮上的脂肪和肉去掉。然后，他们可能在兽皮上边擦上大量的盐，使皮变柔软。最后进行剪裁，缝起来就成了。确实是既难又脏的活！现在来看看这个吧。(指着一串项链)学2：哎呀！这是一条原始的项链吧。早期人类也像我们现在一样讲究外貌吗？太漂亮了！
12、考：是的。还保存得很好呢。你们看看是用什么做的？学4：我看看。噢，我想有些珠子是用兽骨做的，但是其他的是用贝壳做的。考：你真聪明！有块骨头实际上是野兽的牙齿，贝壳是从海边捡来的。你们认得别的骨头吗？学1：这根很像鱼骨头，对吗？考：很对，正如植物学的分析结果告诉我们的一样，这四周曾经是一个很大的浅水湖的一部分。当时可能湖里是有鱼的。学3：不过，湖并不是海呀。我们离海还远着呢。那么，贝壳又是怎么来的呢？考：早期人类之间也许有贸易来往，或者他们也可能旅行到海边去。我们知道，他们跟着兽群四处走。他们并不种植谷物，而是在野果熟了的时候采摘它们并捕杀野兽来充饥。这就是他们被称为猎人和采摘者的缘故。好了，咱
