庙底沟遗址动物遗存的鉴定与研究

Identification and Examination of Animal Remains Unearthed from Miaodigou Site

本文从种属与数量、测量尺寸、年龄结构与性别比例、骨骼发现率、骨表痕迹与异常等方面对庙底沟遗址庙底沟文化时期的动物遗存进行了分析。这一时期先民的肉食资源获取方式属于"开发型",饲养家猪为主,偶尔也狩猎野猪、鹿科动物、鸟类,捕捞软体动物和鱼类。针对不同的动物,先民采取不同的利用策略。结合以往研究发现庙底沟文化在动物资源利用方面有较强的一致性。

Animal remains of Miaodigou period unearthed from Miaodigou Site have been examined and classified according to their species,quantities,sizes,ages,sexes,frequencies of appearance,traces on bone surfaces and abnormalities.In this period,humans ‘exploited’ resources to acquire meat,mainly via raising pigs and occasionally hunting for boars,deer,birds and gathering mollusks and fish.How a certain animal was ‘exploited’ was up to its species.Combined with previous research,we found out that there was a strong consistency in the exploitation of fauna resources.
