| 英文摘要 | Despite great achievements in the origins of domestic pigs made by the methods of zooarchaeology and molecular biology, how to scientifically distinguish the domesticated pigs from wild boars during the early stage of pig domestication is still poorly understood. compared to wild boar's diets which come from the natural environment, the diets of domestic pigs are more easily influenced by human feeding activities. therefore, in principle, exploration of the dietary differences among pigs and understanding the impact on pig diets fed by humans can have great potential to differentiate between wild boars and domesticated pigs. to reveal dietary differences among pigs and distinguish the domesticated pigs from wild boars based on comparison with the diets of humans and other animals, we analyzed the carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of human bones from xiaojingshan site and animal bones from yuezhuang site, both of which belong to houli culture in shandong province and date to about 8500-7500 years ago. the mean delta c-13 value ((-17.8 +/- 0.3)parts per thousand) and delta n-15 value ((9.0 +/- 0.6)parts per thousand) in human collagen indicate that although millet agriculture began it was not the main subsistence strategy as millets are typical of c-4 plants and that humans made a living mainly by gathering, hunting or raising some domesticated animals. the delta c-13 value (-16.1 parts per thousand) and delta n-15 value (6.9 parts per thousand) in the bovine suggest that c-3 plants were dominant in its diet with some c-4 plants complemented. the fish has lower delta c-13 value (-24.9 parts per thousand) and higher delta n-15 value (8.8 parts per thousand) than the bovine, which is the characteristic of the isotopic values from eurasian freshwater fish. based on the differences in carbon and nitrogen isotope values, the pigs can be divided into three groups. a group, composed of two pigs, has low delta c-13 values (-18.1 parts per thousand, -20.0 parts per thousand) and low delta n-15 values (4.7 parts per thousand, 6.0 parts per thousand). b group, only one pig, has the highest delta c-13 value (-10.6 parts per thousand) and mediate delta n-15 value (6.4 parts per thousand). as for the c group, also only one pig, low delta c-13 value (-19.0 parts per thousand) and the highest delta n-15 value (9.1 parts per thousand) are observed. previous studies on the stable isotopes from modern or ancient wild boars' bones have suggested that c-3 plants are predominated in their diets and that their delta n-15 values are close to those in herbivores and far from those in carnivores. based on the comparison with the isotope values from humans, the wild boars and the domestic pigs from xipo site in henan 6000-5500 years ago and kangjia site in shaanxi 4500-4000 years ago, we conclude that a pig group belongs to wild boars while b and c groups can be attributed to domesticated pigs. |
