狗,是人类最早驯养的家畜之一。考古学家陈文华先生在《农业考古》一书中介绍说,许多新石器时代的文化遗址中都出土过狗的骨骼或陶狗。浙江省余姚市河姆渡遗址出土的陶塑小狗和山东省胶县三里河遗址出土的狗形鬶,造型更是生动逼真,使我们得以了解新石器时代狗的形态特征。 Dogs are one of the earliest domesticated livestock. Archaeologist Chen Wenhua said in the book “Agriculture Archaeology” that many of the Neolithic cultural sites have excavated dog bones or pottery dogs. The dog-shaped puppies unearthed at the Hemudu site in Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province and the dog-shaped puppet found at the Sanlihe Site in Jiaoxian County, Shandong Province are vivid and realistic, enabling us to understand the morphological characteristics of dogs in the Neolithic Age.
