Research Abstract |
Morphological characteristics of domestic chicken bones in the Yayoi period were similar to ones of red-jungle fowls kept in cage and not fully domesticated. Then I tried to find out nonmetric osteological characters that are useful for the discrimination of chicken and indigenous wild fowls in Japan. Referring to the osteological characteristics, I reanalyzed and reconfirmed zooarchaeological chicken bones from the Yayoi period. In addition, I studied bird remains from 20 archaeological sites in Japan(Early Jomon to Edo Period) and tried to find out domescit chicken and goose bones.
