河南舞阳县贾湖遗址出土猪骨的再研究

Restudy of the Pigs' Bones from the Jiahu Site in Wuyang County, Henan

河南舞阳县贾湖遗址是我国中原地区极为重要的新石器时代前期遗址。该遗址历经七次发掘，已获得大量珍贵的考古资料。其中丰富的动、植物遗存，是探讨我国北方地区动、植物驯化过程的重要材料。《舞阳贾湖》详细报道了该遗址前六次发掘的材料。报告中提出了存在家猪的观点，但并没有指出具体的期段，而且其判定存在家猪的依据仅仅是年龄结构。

On the problem whether the Jiahu site has the evidence of domestic pigs, there have been divergent opinions in academic circles. In the light of newly discovered data from the seventh excavation on the site, the previously obtained related material should be re-sorted and restudied. Tests by means of the sequence judging standard indicate that domestic pigs had been bred among the Jiahu people by the first phase of the site. This suggests that the first appearance of domestic pigs in North China can be traced up to about 6500 BC. According to the results of a comparative study of the pig-bones from Jiahu and those from the Kuahu site, distinct regional differences exist between the two groups, which provided archaeozoological evidence for the theory of multi-center origins of Chinese domestic pigs.
