Archaeological study of ostrich eggshell beads collected from SDG site

Ostrich eggshell beads and fragments collected from SDG site reflect primordial art and a kind of symbolic behavior of modern humans. Based on stratigraphic data and OSL dating, these ostrich eggshell beads are probably in Early Holocene （〈 10 ka BP）o Two different prehistoric manufacturing pathways are usually used in the manufacture of ostrich eggshell beads in Upper Paleolithic. Accord- ing to statistic analysis of the characteristics of ostrich eggshell beads, Pathway 1 is identified from these collections. In pathway 1, blanks are drilled prior to being trimmed to rough discs. They exhibit great potential for the study of the origin of primordial art and the development of ancient cultures and provide important data for studying behavioral options adopted by hominids in SDG area. In addition, they bear important implications for the origin of modern humans in East Asia.     

10月龄非洲鸵鸟胴体性状的测定及其相关性研究

对饲养于陕西关中地区的23只10月龄非洲鸵鸟胴体性状进行测定及其相关回归研究．结果表明,屠宰率平均为0．785 9±0．018 1％;半净膛率平均为0．904 9±0．012 6％,全净膛率平均为 0．712 5±0．027 7％．10月龄非洲鸵鸟体重与体尺之间回归方程:Y=-52．155 07 0．701X1- 0．166X2 2．879X3(n=23,R2=0．643 418,0．05相似文献   

陕西关中地区人工饲养6～10龄非洲鸵鸟产蛋规律研究

对饲养于陕西关中地区的49只6-10龄非洲鸵鸟产蛋规律进行了研究．结果表明,6-10 龄鸵鸟每年平均产蛋数分别为56．24±27．79、48．32±24．19、52．84±25．50、35．32±16．46、45．08 ±19．51枚,其变异系数分别为49．05％、50．07％、48．26％、46．62％、43．27％．5年来每只鸵鸟每年平均产蛋(47．56±8．06)枚,变异系数为16．94％．随着年龄增长,全年平均产蛋数呈现为:6龄、8 龄和10龄产蛋数高,7龄和9龄产蛋数略有下降,且9龄、10龄产蛋数明显低于6-10龄平均产蛋数,这种年龄间产蛋数差异不显著(P>0．05)．在9、10龄鸵鸟产蛋数随着年龄增长下降趋势,这种趋势现在也不是很明显．全年中,从2月份开始产蛋数量逐渐增加,6月份达到产蛋高峰,然后产蛋量开始下降,10月份达到全年最低,以后产蛋数略有上升,11月份达到次高峰,2月份又降低,但没有低于10月份产蛋数．同样饲养条件下,比较在正常气候和干热、多雨、寒冷等气候条件下鸵鸟产蛋数量变化幅度,得出干热、多雨、寒冷等气候条件对于鸵鸟产蛋均有很大影响,且多雨影响作用最大,寒冷、干热等气候条件影响作用依次减小．
