摘　　要：家鸡起源的探讨始终是国际动物考古学界关注的研究热点之一。多年来,我国动物考古学研究在这一领域也积累了一批材料,并陆续发表了一些研究成果。其中,最有影响的大概是20世纪80年代中英两国学者合作于《考古科学杂志》(Journal of Archaeological Science)上发表的论文。该文章指出,在河北武安的磁山遗址发现了距今8000年左右、中国最早的家鸡[1]。Through the re-analyses to the chicken bones unearthed trom some archaeological sites ana the trimming of the related researches, this paper pointed out that the past recognitions of the domestic chickens in ancient China were mostly questionable. Referring to the new research results and the new development in the verification methods of the ring-necked pheasant and chicken in recent years, as well as the verification of the chicken bones unearthed from the Shenmingpu Site in Xichuan County, Henan, this paper announced the importance of differentiating ring-necked pheasant and chicken from multiple skeletal parts based on the characteristics in the sense of skeletal morphology. Moreover, this paper emphasized that only with this as the foundation, the standards for distinguishing the morphological characteristics of red junglefowl and domestic chicken can be established and the issue of the origin of the domestic chickens in China can be accurately and comprehensively discussed.
