| Abstract |
|
The animal bone-remains excavated with earthwares at Cheju Kimnyungri cave site were investigated morphologically and osteometrically. The number of bone remains were 1706 pieces by morphological criteria. Based on the classification of bony pieces excavated in the cave site, the important animal species in Cheju island during the early Tamra period (presumably between A.D.0 - A.D. 500) was as follows; wild boar(75%), deer(17%), cattle(6%), and horse in small percentage. The excavated bone remains imply that the major fauna of animal species are composed of three species, including Sus scrofa, Cervus nippon and Bos taurus. These data suggests that the archaeological remains such as bone pieces are good indicators of the fauna animals, and of zoological entity in the island. |
