纺器于人类文明起源中的痕迹辨析

针对人类文明史中似乎只有石器即硬器,而无软器的时代和历史,尤其是无绑扎、系挂、固定功能的纺器的踪影这一问题,通过已有的历史实物,采用痕迹探索辨析的方法,从文字记载和石器、陶器等硬器方面求证了纺器在旧石器时代已存在,旧纺器与旧石器同期出现,而新纺器在10万年前就已出现且已完成旧纺器至新纺器的进化。由此得出纺织物并非如现代所理解的范围之狭隘,人类工具史中也并非孤独的石器一种,还存在更为智慧和复杂的,但似乎被人们忽略和断代看错的纺器这一不可或缺的软工具的陪伴。同时,对新、旧纺器作了定义和划分,以及纺器作为软工具的一种,其在石器中的形态痕迹和功能痕迹作了明示与探讨,得出纺器对于人类文明的进步和工具的进化具有不可替代的作用。

Trace analysis of twist formed tools in origin of human civilization

It seemed that only stone tools/hard tools existed in human civilization. No soft tools especially any twist?formed and flexible tools with some tying, hanging, fixing function had ever been discribed. Therefore, by the existing historical material objects and using the method of trace exploring analysis, from the aspect of pictogram record, pottery and hard tool it is proved the twist formed tools in paleolithic already exists and has achieved the evolution from the old twist formed tools to the new twist formed tools before the neolithic. It is concluded that old spinning tools appeared the same time as paleolithic and new twisting tools appeared 100 000 years ago. Human′s tool history has not been a lonely one stone and there is more wisdom and complex, but it seems to be ignored and date wrong, that is twisting tool. At the same time, the new and old twist formed tools are defined and classified. As a kind of soft tools, their form and/or function traces on the Neolithic stones are discussed and explained. Fabric is not as narrow as modern understanding of the scope. Twisting tool has an irreplaceable role for the evolution of the progress of human civilization and tools.
