巫山蓝家寨遗址家畜的动物骨骼

A Research of Domestic Animal Bones from the Lanjiazhai Site

2012年巫山蓝家寨遗址考古发掘中,出土了春秋时期的马(Equus caballus)、黄牛(Bos taurus)、山羊(Capra hircus)、鸡(Gallus gallus domesticus)、狗(Canis familiaris)、猪(Sus domestica)6种家畜的骨骼。这是三峡地区唯一一个在先秦时期六畜兼备的古文化遗址。遗址中的马、牛,是三峡地区同类家畜中时代最早的发现资料。三峡地区早期历史时期,人类肉食资源以野生动物为主,家畜动物骨骼发现材料较少。蓝家寨遗址出现种类较多的家畜动物种类,为全面分析和认识三峡地区经济形态发展过程、古居民行为模式和区域文化等,提供了重要资料。遗址中在春秋时期出现的家畜马和黄牛,与该时期各种区域文化在三峡地区的碰撞、交流、融合有关。

In 2012, six species of livestock bones, including Equus caballus, Bos taurus, Capra hircus, Gallus gallus domesticus, Canis familiaris and Sus domestica of Spring and Autumn period, were unearthed from the Lanjiazhai site in Wushan Mountain. It is the only ancient culture site that six kinds of domestic animal bones in the pre-Qin period in the Three Gorges area were discovered at present. Wild animals were the main meat resources for people then, so it is difficult that domestic animal bones are discovered in early stage historical period in the Three Gorges area. Some major species of these domestic animals from the Lanjiazhai site, provide important materials for us to analyze and study the developmental process of economy model,behavior pattern and regional culture, etc. Equus caballus and Bos Taurus bones among them are the earliest domestic animals in the Three Gorges area, and their findings indicate that there existed some collisions, communications and integrations of various regional cultures then.
