在罗马尼亚东南部，古梅尔尼塔文化（铜器时代晚期，公元前5000年后半期）中的猪占有重要地位;作为狩猎目标的各种物种之一，野猪也是非常珍贵的。在对Bordusani-Popina、Harsova-tell和Vitanesti-Magurice的Gumelnita A2职业进行稳定同位素研究期间，调查了野猪的生态位和养猪业的规模。骨胶原δ N-15和δ C-13分析结果表明，野猪并不栖息在这些地点的茂密森林中。出现的情况是涉及家庭管理的小规模养猪业：用人类活动的残羹剩饭和/或副产品喂猪。在Vitanesti，以前的工作涉及suid臼齿的几何形态测量学证明，除了两个预期的小型家猪和野生臼齿形状的大型标本（即野猪），存在的标本与大尺寸和国内形状的臼齿，其与人类社会的关系尚不清楚。结合几何形态测量和稳定同位素分析的结果表明，具有家庭臼齿形状的大型标本生活在靠近野生生态系统的地方。它们可能不是家养种群的一部分，而是野生种群，是通过狩猎获得的。(C)2016 Elsevier Inc.

In south-eastern Romania, a prominent place was given to pigs in the Gumelnita culture (Late Chalcolithic, second half of 5th millennium BC); as was the highly prized wild boar, one of a variety of species targeted for hunting. The wild boars' ecological niche and the scale of pig husbandry were investigated during a stable isotope study of the Gumelnita A2 occupations at Bordusani-Popina, Harsova-tell and Vitanesti-Magurice. Results from the bone collagen delta N-15 and delta C-13 analysis suggested that the wild boars did not inhabit dense forests, in any of these locations. The emerging picture is of small-scale pig husbandry involving household management: pigs being fed leftovers and/or by-products of human activities. At Vitanesti, previous work involving geometric morphometrics on suid molars evidenced, besides the two expected groups of small domestic pigs and large specimens with wild molar shape (i.e. wild boar), the presence of specimens with large size and domestic shape molars, whose relationship with the human community was unclear. Results from the combined geometric morphometric and stable isotope analyses, suggested that the large specimens with domestic molar shape lived in close proximity to the wild ecosystem. They were probably not part of the domestic stock, but belonged to a feral population and were acquired through hunting. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
