Fu Renyi  

In cultural deposits at the Guojiacun neolithic site were discovered bones of more thana dozen of mammals including the black rat,dog,badger,leopard,racoon dog,wild cat,wolf,tiger,hog,sika deer,river deer,pao-deer,muntjak and musk deer besides a lot of marinemolluscs.From the study of these mammal bones,we can get an idea of the life of thecontemporary mankind with regard to hunting,fishing and the raising of domestic animals.This study enables us to classify and compare those principal animals such as the hog,dogand deer that were then more numerous than the others.Thus we can conduct a preliminarystudy of the chief animals that were domesticated by man in this northeastern part of Chinaduring the neolithic age.In addition,on the basis of the eclogy and evolution of the existence of the above mam-mals,the inference of the then natural environment of the southern tip of the LiaodongPenisula will provide important information for the study of ancient paleogeography andpaleo-climate of the region.
