摘要
左家山遗址位于吉林省农安县高家屯村西南500 m处.2015年因河水侵蚀,吉林大学边疆考古研究中心等单位对其进行了抢救性考古发掘,出土了猪、狗、羊、马等动物骨骼.通过对出土动物遗存的鉴定与研究,发现新石器时代左家山遗址为一处夏秋季节性居址,先民的生业模式以狩猎、捕捞和采集为主,同时饲养少量家畜.辽金时期该地区被称为"黄龙府",通过对墓葬内出土动物遗存的分析,推测其与少数民族的"烧饭祭""殉羊""殉犬护送灵魂""头蹄葬"等丧葬习俗密切相关,这为辽金时期北方少数民族文化的交流与融合提供了重要证据;随葬动物种属也在一定程度上反映了当时伊通河流域少数民族的生业模式为农牧结合,且伴有少量的渔猎活动.
Abstract
Zuojiashan site is located 500 m southwest of Gaojiatun Village in Nong'an County,Jilin Province.In 2015,due to river erosion,the Frontier Archaeology Research Center of Jilin University and other units carried out salvage archaeological excavations,and unearthed the bones of animals such as pigs,dogs,sheep and horses,etc.Through the identification and study of the unearthed animal remains,it was found that during the Neolithic Age,Zuojiashan site was active in summer and autumn,and that the livelihood mode of ancestors was mainly hunting,fishing and gathering,in addition to raising a small number of domestic animals.During the Liao and Jin Dynasties,the area was known as"Huanglongfu".As a result of the analysis of unearthed animal remains from burials,it was assumed that they were closely related to the"burnt rice sacrifice"and other funeral customs of ethnic minorities,which provides important evidence for the cultural exchanges and integration between ethnic minorities in northern China of the Liao and Jin periods.The buried animal species also suggest that,to a certain extent,the livelihood mode of people living in the Yitong River Basin at the time was a combination of agriculture and animal husbandry accompanied by a small amount of fishing and hunting activities.
