摘　　要：本文对河南灵宝西坡遗址出土动物的骨骼部位发现率、表面痕迹、破碎度及空间分布进行了详细分析,旨在通过建构遗址的肉食消费模式,认识仰韶文化中期中心聚落的经济社会状况。结果表明,绝大多数的猪和鹿很可能是在居住址被屠宰和消费的,后埋藏过程对骨骼表面的影响很小,人们对骨髓和脂肪的需求是造成骨骼破碎的主要原因。西坡没有把猪用作祭祀动物,而是作为宴饮活动中的消费对象。宴饮可能用来创造和强化社会群体的认同感,并为某些个人或群体获取威望提供竞争机会。This paper examines the skeletal part frequency, modification, fragmentation and spatial distribution of pig and deer bones from the Xipo site in Lingbao, Henan, in an attempt to understand the subsistence and social issues in the central settlement of the middle Yangshao period. A wide range of skeletal part representation for pigs and deer indicates that pigs and deer were probably slaughtered and consumed at the site. The post - depositional agents played a limited role in modifying the animal bones. The requirement for marrow and grease was the major reason responsible for bone fragmentation. Xipo inhabitants probably did not regard pigs as sacred animals, but used them as a supplement to their diet punctuated by episodes of feasting. Feasting was probably used to create and reinforce group unity and community identity, as well as an opportunity to compete for prestige between social groups.
