Only when we understand the relationshipbetween culture and the environment can we reconstruct ancient life supportsystem,so as to further understand which means human society has taken to a morecomplex stage of evolution.This article through to the remaining materials of handicraft industry aboutXingLongWa Culture that discovered by the archaeologists.By using the researchfindings of the analogy of ethnic study archaeology, experimental archaeology and thedate of the archaeological excavation, with the theory of cultural ecology, taking theunearthed pottery, stone, jade, bone artifacts in XingLongWa Cultural relics as theresearch object,researching from several aspects such as its production technology,the using function, social significance, its relationship with environment.

As though the traditional technology cannot causeenormous damage to the nature in the short term, but long-term accumulation can alsolead to the destruction of ecology. For this, the environment, to a certain extent,affects and limits the development of the culture. Therefore, the harmony betweenhuman and the environment is the permanent theme that not only a prehistoric societybut current society is pursuing to.
