Salawusu

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sjara-osso-gol or Salawusu or Xarusgol ( Chinese  薩拉烏蘇  /  萨拉乌 素 , Pinyin Sàlāwūsù ) is the name of an archaeological site named after the river of the same name in the southeastern Ordos area in the Uxin banner ( 乌审旗 , Wushen qi ) Inner Mongolia in the People's Republic of China . Salawusu is the name of the upper reaches of the Wuding He River , a tributary of the Yellow River (Huang He).

Sjara-osso-gol (Salawusu) was researched from 1922 to 1923 by the French Jesuits Émile Licent and Teilhard de Chardin . Skull, tooth and leg bone fossils of the Hetao man ( Chinese  河套 人 , English Ordos Man / Hetao Man  - "Ordos man") from the late Pleistocene were discovered. The bone finds were dated between 50,000 and 35,000 years ago. One of the finds is the “Ordos Tooth” (“Ordos tooth”). The finds were interpreted as earlier anatomically modern humans ( Homo sapiens ); however, their dating is not considered certain.

The Sjara-osso-gol or Salawusu fauna community ( 萨拉乌苏 动物 群 ) in the fluviatil-limnic deposit layer of the southeast corner of the Ordos high plateau is named after the river.

The Sjara-osso-gol site or Salawusu site ( 萨拉乌苏 遗址 , Salawusu yizhi ) has been on the list of monuments of the People's Republic of China (5-13) since 2001 .

Salawusu was researched by the Chinese researchers Wu Rukang , Huang Weiwen , Dong Guangrong , Gao Shangyu , Li Baosheng and others.
