灵宝西坡遗址动物骨骼的收集与整理

本文介绍了河南灵宝西坡遗址动物骨骼的收集与整理过程 ,并重点对收集方法和埋藏因素对动物遗存的影响作了评估。结果表明 ,自然和生物因素对骨骼埋藏过程的影响较小 ,而人为因素的影响比较显著。不同的收集方法对出土骨骼的绝对数量和重量有直接影响 ,但用相对比例分析主要动物的骨骼发现率 ,能够减小不同收集方法造成的差异

Collection and Sorting-out of the Animal Bones Unearthed from the Lingbao Xipo Site

This paper describes the methodological issues concerning the recovery and analysis of faunal remains from the Xipo site in Lingbao,Henan,and the main focus is to evaluate the effect of recovery procedure and taphonomic variables on faunal assemblages.The results indicate that while the effect of natural and biotic agents on animal bones is limited,the effect of human practices on bone taphonomic processes is evident.The differences of recovery procedure played an important role in the increase/decrease of animal bones,but the use of relative frequency can minimize the effect of recovery procedure on faunal remains.
