Taphonomic analysis of human and bird remains from the Doigahama site, Japan
The first human skeleton (DHS-1) excavated in 1953 at the Doigahama site (Yayoi period, Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi) is commonly known as the ‘u wo daku onna’ (‘woman embracing a cormorant’). This name originates from the identification of avian bones found near the breast of this middle-aged female as a chick of the Japanese cormorant (Phalacrocorax capillatus). However, a recent morphological re-examination of these avian bones clarified that t…

Exploring the Possibility of Successive Breeding of Chickens in the Yayoi Culture, Japan
Chickens are domestic animals whose main ancestor is the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus), and their natural habitat is Southeast Asia and Southern China. Domestic chickens were brought to the Japanese archipelago by the middle of the Yayoi period (4th-3rd bce). Research on chicken sexual dimorphism shows that Yayoi-era (10th bce-3rd ce) birds were mostly male, hindering widespread breeding across Japan. In the 2011 research area at the Karakami si…
Chicken Consumption in Three Early Modern (17th-19th Century) Cities in Japan
Chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) were introduced to Japan in the middle Yayoi period (fourth to third centuries BCE), but widespread consumption did not occur until the Edo period (17th to 19th centuries) based on historical documents and archaeological material. To clarify how chicken consumption became popular in early modern Japan, this study analyzed bird remains recovered from sites in three cities: Edo (early modern Tokyo), Nagasaki, and…

Late Holocene Animal Use in Southern Kamchatka
This study purposed to reveal animal use in southern Kamchatka by examining the largest archaeofaunal collections recovered by Tamara M. Dikova and Nikolai N. Dikov. Radiocarbon dates of charcoal and caribou antler demonstrated that materials for this study were dated during the past 1,600 years, including three cultural periods: Nalychevo Culture (the 15-19th centuries AD), Tar’ya Culture (the mid-first millennium AD), and the intermediate perio…
Chickens consumed in early modern samurai residences
Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is thought to have been introduced in Japan during the Yayoi period (5th century BC to 3rd century AD). However, according to historical documents and archeological materials, chickens were not commonly consumed as food until the early modern period. Many remains identified as chicken have been recovered from the archeological sites located in Edo, early modern Tokyo; however, the consumption pattern of chickens…
Neolithic avifaunal resource utilisation in the lower Yangtze River
ZooMS for birds
Discriminant function analysis of atlas and axis vertebrae of the toothed whale to facilitate species identification in zooarchaeological specimens
Cetaceans have long been exploited as a key marine resource for subsistence in many parts of the world. The bones of cetaceans in archaeological deposits tend to be highly fragmented but can be distinguished from other mammals by their unique cancellous texture. However, distinguishing species of cetaceans from one another is difficult because of their high morphological similarity. The current study establishes taxonomic identification criteria …

Were chickens exploited in the Neolithic early rice cultivation society of the lower Yangtze River
The history of chicken and other bird exploitation in Thailand
The origin of the domestication of chicken Gallus gallus domesticus is still a subject of debate. It principally originates from the red junglefowl G. gallus , which is distributed throughout Southeast Asia and South China. However, the prehistoric exploitation of chicken and red junglefowl in Southeast Asia has remained unclear due to a small number of samples for bone analysis. In this study, we analysed bird remains from four archaeological si…
Palaeoecology and Forager Subsistence Strategies during the Pleistocene – Holocene Transition
This reanalysis uses the zooarchaeological assemblage recovered from Spirit Cave to understand hunter-gatherer use and occupation at the site during the Pleistocene - Holocene transition. We analyze bone fragmentation, sample size, and relative abundance to establish the preservation and overall composition of the remaining fauna. Identification of several new taxa, including roundleaf bats (Hipposideros larvatus and bicolor), elongated tortoise …
Reevaluation of early Holocene chicken domestication in northern China
Medullary Bone in Goose Remains
The ideal indicator of domestic individuals is the presence of traits that must appear in the first generation of the domestic lineage. Most wild geese are migratory, breeding in the subarctic zone and wintering in the temperate zone. If goose remains from archaeological sites in a non-breeding region are from individuals shown to have died during the breeding season, the bones are likely to be from domestic birds. Medullary bone is secondary wov…
Lead Concentration in Archaeological Animal Remains from The Edo Period, Japan
Lead pollution has increased over the past four centuries with industrialisation, urbanisation, and the use of motor vehicles. In Japan, lead concentrations in human bones of the Edo period (AD 1603–1867) from urban areas were found to be higher than those from suburban areas. Because most wild geese breed in the subarctic zone and winter in the temperate zone, it is to be expected that lead concentrations in archaeological goose bones from domes…
