夏家店下层文化自20世纪60年代初正式被确认以来~①,历经50余年的考古调查、发掘与研究,取得了一系列重要的学术成果。尤其90年代以来,随着大规模的区域性调查的展开,以及配合基本建设进行的考古调查与发掘,使人们对该文化的认识不再限于通过对陶器的研究分析年代、分期等问题,在反映该文化聚落、城址分布、内部布局及其体现的社会组织结构方面,也获得了丰富的资料。然而以往的研究更多针对努鲁尔虎山以西、以北地区,尤其阴河、英金河沿线石城~②及半支箭河沿线的聚落及城址~③。本文拟通过对大、小凌河流域地区夏家店下层文化聚落材料的观察,谈一些初步的认识。大、小凌河流域夏家店下层文化聚落,早年已有建平水泉~④、北票丰下~⑤等被发现 Xiajiadian lower culture since the 20th century, the early 60s formally confirmed since ~ ①, after more than 50 years of archaeological investigation, excavation and research, made a series of important academic achievements. Especially since the 1990s, with the launching of large-scale regional surveys and archeological surveys and excavations in conjunction with capital construction, people’s awareness of the culture is no longer confined to issues such as the analysis of the age and the staging of the pottery. Reflecting the cultural settlements, the distribution of urban sites, the internal layout and the social organization structure they embodied, they also obtained abundant materials. However, previous researches focus more on the settlement and the site of 石 and 城 along the Shicheng-② and semi-branch arrow rivers in the areas to the west of the north of the Mt. Nuluer and to the north of the country, in particular, the Yinhe and Yingjin rivers. In this paper, we will discuss some of the preliminary understandings of the cultural settlement materials in Xiajiadian store in the Xiaolinghe and Xiaolinghe valleys. Large, Xia Ling River Xiajiadian lower cultural settlements, early years have Jianping springs ~ ④, Beipiao Fung ~ ⑤ were found
