| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this project is to analyze the origins and dispersal of agriculture and domesticated animals in an interdisciplinary study of relevant fields, such as zooarchaeology, cultural anthropology and molecular biology. We have conducted a lot of ethno-archeological research in East Asia to clarify the cultural history between people and their livestock. Through our research to systematize animal breeding and the use of livestock, morphological studies of animal bones from archaeological sites were carried out in Japan, Vietnam and China. In Laos and Vietnam, we promoted ethnographic research in villages with ethnic minorities to reveal traditional livestock rearing technologies and their hunting activities. In the islands, which we think are an important area for gaining an understanding of the process of domestic animal propagation in East Asia, we used mtDNA analysis of both modern and prehistoric wild boars (Sus Scrofa) and pigs (Sus domestica) . As a result, some Sus groups were influenced by the immigration of people, while some groups don’t show such evidence. For the high-precision radio carbon dating of the archaeological specimen, we confirmed the calendar date calibration for the world standard, as well as accumulated calibrated data for the Japanese standard.
Measurement of carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios of animal bones from Neolithic sites in the Yangtze River basin in China verified the process of domestication and livestock management due to the effects of feeding by humans. Through fieldwork in Taiwan, we explored the spread of dog-keeping and the worldwide distribution of dog-eating habits, and also focused on their diets, slash-and-burn cultivation, livestock breeding, faith, myths and the ideas of hunters.
