由于野猪祖先广泛分布于欧亚大陆，中国猪驯化的动物考古学是一项具有挑战性的任务。然而，使用几何形态测量方法的臼齿（M-2），形状和大小的变化，从现代和新石器时代的猪，使用仰韶猪作为新石器时代的国内形式的替代品，我们已经解决了在驯化的早期阶段，在三个新石器时代早期的猪驯化的索赔地点的形态变化的识别。表型关系揭示了现代和新石器时代猪样本中清晰且可解释的表型特征;这为贾湖遗址至少从公元前6600年开始的猪驯化提供了证据，使黄河流域重新成为中国最早的独立猪驯化中心之一。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The zooarchaeology of pig domestication in China is a challenging task due to its wild boar ancestors being widespread throughout Eurasia. However using geometric morphometric approaches on molar tooth (M-2), shape and size variations, from modern and Neolithic suids, using Yangshao pigs as a surrogate for the Neolithic domestic form, we have addressed the identification of morphological change during the early step of domestication in three early Neolithic sites where claims of pig domestication have been made. Phenetic relationships here have revealed clear and interpretable phenotypic signatures in the samples of modern and Neolithic pigs; which provide evidence for pig domestication at the site of Jiahu from at least 6600 BC cal., re-establishing the Yellow River region as one of the earliest centre of independent Chinese pig domestication.
