When studying the human settlement process, it is of great significance to understand the prehistoric environment, economy and society by exploring the human-land relationship and the evolution of civilization reflected by the settlement environment. This paper explores the natural and social environmental preferences of early human settlements in Xinjiang, China, from the Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age (45 ka BP-2250 a BP). Through the characteristics of settlement preferences, the distribution of settlements is accurately predicted, and the relationship between settlement preferences and the evolution of the environment and civilization is verified and discussed. We summarize the needs and conditions of early human settlement from the perspectives of the social environment and natural environment and explain the stages, consistency and differentiation of the spatial and temporal evolution of settlement preferences with the interaction of adaptation and transformation. On this basis, we discuss the logical focuses and content of early human settlement preference research. This research provides a reference for the process, representation, driving mode, and research ideas of early human settlement preferences.
当研究人类居住进程时,通过探索人类与土地的关系以及居住环境所反映的文明演变,从而了解史前时期的环境、经济和社会具有重要意义。本文探讨了从旧石器时代到青铜时代(45kaBP-2250aBP)中国新疆地区早期人类居住的自然和社会环境偏好。通过对居住偏好特征的研究,准确地预测了居住点的分布,并验证和讨论了居住偏好与环境和文明演变之间的关系。我们从社会环境和自然环境的角度总结了早期人类居住的需求和条件,并通过适应和转变的相互作用来解释居住偏好时空演变的阶段性、一致性和差异性。在此基础上,我们讨论了早期人类居住偏好研究的逻辑重点和内容。本研究为早期人类居住偏好研究的过程、表现、驱动模式和研究思路提供了参考。
