河南新乡前高庄遗址龙山时期动物遗存分析

An Analysis of the Longshan-Period Zooarchaeological Remains at Gaojiazhuang Site, Xinxiang, Henan Province

本文以河南省新乡市前高庄遗址出土的龙山时期动物遗存为研究对象,通过对其进行种属鉴定、数量统计、年龄结构、肉量估算等分析,综合讨论遗址古代环境和古代动物资源的开发利用等,为丰富豫北地区龙山时期生业状况研究提供新的资料。前高庄遗址先民主要的生业活动包括家畜饲养、狩猎和捕捞。家猪饲养是获取肉食资源重要途径,其死亡年龄反映出肉量最优的屠宰规律。狩猎和捕捞活动也占据一定地位。这些生业活动也反映出当时该地区生态环境的多样性和资源利用的多元化。

The authors conducts an analysis of faunal remains from the Longshan Period remains at the Qiangaozhuang site in northern Henan.Through species identification,quantitative statistics,age structure and meat quantity estimation,this research shows a general picture of the animal exploitation and subsistence.This paper also examines pig-breeding strategy,as pigs made an important meat resource.Their death age distribution indicates they were slaughtered at a certain age,during which period they could provide maximum meat.Meanwhile,hunting and fishing activities were also considerable.This research reflects the complexity of the ecological environment and the diversity in resource exploitation.
