| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the horse production system in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, China through zooarchaeological research of horse remains from excavated archaeological sites. Classic ancient literature and Qin bamboo slips document that the utilization and breeding technology of the horse production system in ancient China. Although the officials running the system varied with the season, further details of this management system remain unknown. So, we combine zooarchaeological, stable isotope (C/O/Sr) analyses and historical studies from archaeological sites to investigate this horse production system. Our results indicate that grazing and feeding regimes varied according to age and sex of the horses. Further, this system appears to have developed during the Western Zhou and was well established in Han Dynasty.
