Microblade technology played a key role in the everyday lives of the occupants of Inner Mongolia during the Neolithic period. However, the functional aspect of the microblade assemblage and its role had not been widely studied. In order to better understand the occupants’ daily life and toolkit management within this context, the current study conducted use-wear analyses on a large sample of lithic tools from a Neolithic microlithic assemblage found at the Huihe dam site and then addressed the implication of the results by integrating different lines of evidence from morphological, technological, and functional aspects through quantifiable analysis. Our study supports the site as a base camp where a wide range of activities were carried out. The results of the study also showed that it is highly probable that the intensive and flexible use of the microblade assemblage contributed to a sustainable hunter-gatherer lifestyle over a long period.

内蒙古回河水坝遗址的新石器时代微石器组合的功能和灵活使用：使用磨损证据的量化分析

在新石器时代，微刀片技术在内蒙古居民的日常生活中起着关键作用。但是，微刀片组件的功能方面及其作用尚未得到广泛研究。为了在此背景下更好地了解居住者的日常生活和工具包管理，本研究对惠河大坝现场发现的新石器时代微石器组合中的大量石器工具进行了使用磨损分析，然后解决了其隐含意义。通过量化分析从形态，技术和功能方面整合不同的证据，从而得出结果。我们的研究支持该场所作为大本营，在那里开展了许多活动。
