郑州老奶奶庙第3地点动物遗存研究报告

An Analysis of the Zooarchaeological Discoveries at Locality 3 of the Laonainaimiao Site,Zhengzhou

老奶奶庙第3地点出土了575件动物化石,包括披毛犀、普氏野马、蒙古野驴、鹿类、牛类、羊类等动物至少11种,其中披毛犀为该地区第一次发现。化石风化程度普遍较重,牙齿、角等肉量较少的部分保存较多,显示了本遗址不同于第1地点的临时活动性质。对化石进行了拼合和人工痕迹的研究,所得7组19件拼合组对理解该遗址人类行为和埋藏改造有所帮助;疑似对犀牛牙釉质利用的现象,在我国北方旧石器遗址中较为罕见,可能反映了该地区人类对石料缺乏的适应。

The excavation in 2016at the Locality 3of the Laonainaimiao site revealed 575pieces of bone, including Coelodonta antiquitatis,Equus przewalskii,E.hemionus,Cervidae,Bovidae,Caprinae and other up to at least 11species in total.Coelodonta antiquitatis was the first time to be revealed in this area.The weathering degree of the fossils is a little heavy,and the parts with less meat,such as teeth and horns,are better preserved.The pattern indicate the appearance of temporary activities in this site,which is different from Location 1.Refitting and artificial-trace analysis have been conducted.19pieces could be spliced into 7bigger pieces,It can help us to understand the human behavior and buried formation at this site.The possible use of rhinoceros's enamel which has been rarely discovered in the Paleolithic sites in northern China,may reflect the adaptation strategy to the the lack of stone in the region.
