Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 1996.
Hundreds of hominid fossils and hundreds of thousands of stone artifacts and associated animal bones have been unearthed from the Peking Man (Homo erectus pekinensis) site, at the Village of Zhoukoudian, near Beijing, China. The animal bones were traditionally interpreted as hominid food refuse as well as evidence of hunting by the hominids. This traditional view has been questioned more recently. The new interpretation is that perhaps carnivores more than hominids contributed to the collection of animal bones at the site and that the hominid's subsistence on animals, if any, was based on scavenging rather than hunting.

Hundreds of hominid fossils and hundreds of thousands of stone artifacts and associated animal bones have been unearthed from the Peking Man (Homo erectus pekinensis) site, at the Village of Zhoukoudian, near Beijing, China. The animal bones were traditionally interpreted as hominid food refuse as well as evidence of hunting by the hominids. This traditional view has been questioned more recently. The new interpretation is that perhaps carnivores more than hominids contributed to the collection of animal bones at the site and that the hominid's subsistence on animals, if any, was based on scavenging rather than hunting.

In order to effectively evaluate the two alternative interpretations and to examine Peking Man's subsistence closely, I conducted a systematic study of the faunal collection with explicit taphonomic questions in mind. I examined more than 2,000 animal bones available from the site. The study involved pattern detection and interpretation within the animal bone assemblage in the areas of species abundance, body part representation and preservation, age structure and sex composition of the two most common deer species (Megaloceros pachyosteus and Pseudaxis grayi) as well as the surface modification and breakage of the bones. Important research findings include: (1) The roof of the Zhoukoudian cave had openings during the period of Peking Man's existence; (2) Cranial parts dominate over post-cranial elements for the two most common deer species; (3) The age profile is prime-dominated for both deer species; (4) No definite stone-tool cutmarks were identified; (5) Very few animal toothmarks were present; (6) There appear to be more females than males for Megaloceros and more males than females for Pseudaxis in the collection, and Megaloceros probably had less dental size sexual dimorphism than Pseudaxis.

These findings from the faunal assemblage and the presence of large quantities of stone artifacts suggest that both hominids and carnivores were involved with the faunal assemblage. However, this involvement was minimal, and scavenging was probably the predominant means by which the hominids obtained animal food. A natural trap scenario is proposed for the site formation process; from time to time, animals fell down to the cave through the holes and fissures in the roof (maybe a few animals every hundred years), both carnivores and hominids occasionally and opportunistically scavenged on these animal carcasses. A future study of new material from fresh excavations at Zhoukoudian using similar methodologies is suggested to refine the current understanding of Peking Man's subsistence.
