关中盆地考古遗址中发现了丰富的软体动物遗存，为研究史前人类对软体动物的利用提供了很好的机会。在这里，我们报告的淡水腹足类和双壳类软体动物的时间间隔约5600至4500 cal.yrs BP从中晚期新石器时代的网站。它们被鉴定为Cipangopaludina chinensis和Unio douglasiae，两者目前都是人类的食物。贝壳保存完好，没有磨损的迹象。它们都是淡水腹足类和双壳类，在没有水改造沉积物的坑中发现，并在研究区域的河流，水库和稻田中可以观察到现代代表。软体动物的贝壳经常与哺乳动物的骨头、石器和陶器一起被发现。这些证据表明，这些软体动物是史前食物的遗骸。这些软体动物的壳很可能是史前人类吃完肉后丢弃在坑里的。然而，这些软体动物遗骸可能不是主食，因为它们不是大量发现的。此外，还发现了软体动物的贝壳工具和装饰品。贝壳工具包括贝壳刀、贝壳钩和箭头，而贝壳装饰品则由吊坠和环组成。所有的贝壳工具和装饰品都是由双壳类软体动物制成的，并不大量出现。这些淡水软体动物化石的发现支持了关中盆地全新世中期气候温暖湿润的观点，这可能有利于淡水软体动物的生长发育。
Mollusk remains are abundant in archaeological sites in the Guanzhong Basin of Northwestern China, providing good opportunities for investigations into the use of mollusks by prehistoric humans. Here we report on freshwater gastropod and bivalve mollusks covering the time interval from about 5600 to 4500 cal. yrs BP from sites of Mid-Late Neolithic age. They are identified as Cipangopaludina chinensis and Unio douglasiae, both of which are currently food for humans. The shells are well preserved and have no signs of abrasion. They are all freshwater gastropods and bivalves found in pits without water-reworked deposits and have modern representatives which can be observed in rivers, reservoirs, and paddy fields in the studied region. Mollusk shells were frequently recovered in association with mammal bones, lithic artifacts, and pottery. These lines of evidence indicate that the mollusks are the remains of prehistoric meals. The mollusk shells were likely discarded into the pits by prehistoric humans after the flesh was eaten. However, these mollusk remains may not have been staple food since they are not found in large quantities. Mollusk shell tools and ornaments are also observed. Shell tools include shell knives, shell reaphooks and arrowheads, whereas shell ornaments are composed of pendants and loops. All the shell tools and ornaments are made of bivalve mollusks and do not occur in large numbers. The finding of these freshwater mollusk remains supports the view that the middle Holocene climate in the Guanzhong Basin may have been warm and moist, which was probably favorable to freshwater mollusks growing and developing in the region.
