Abstract

The Indonesian island of Sulawesi harbours numerous early rock paintings of the endemic Sulawesi warty pig (Sus celebensis). Several S. celebensis images, including one dated to at least 45,500 years ago (ka), portray these suids with an anatomical character not observed in the living species: a pair of teat-like protuberances in the neck area. This feature seems to be most consistent morphologically with neck “wattles”, cutaneous appendages only manifested in modern domestic swine (Sus scrofa) and some other domesticated ungulates (e.g. goats). The notion that the trait portrayed by the Late Pleistocene artists is a domestication character is clearly contentious. We therefore consider: (1) whether we have misidentified the trait – a common problem in rock art analysis; (2) whether wattles are a genuine domestication trait; and (3) if so, whether the notion that Pleistocene people domesticated S. celebensis is plausible. A clear resolution to all of these problems evades us; however, our investigation of this anomaly in the ancient rock art poses important questions about the nature and complexity of early human–pig relations in this island.

更新世岩画描绘苏拉威西疣猪(Sus celebensis)具有驯化特征吗?
印度尼西亚的苏拉威西岛有许多早期的岩画,描绘的是当地特有的苏拉威西疣猪(Sus celebensis)。一些南方南方人种的图像,包括一幅至少可追溯到45,500年前(ka)的图像,描绘了这些在现存物种中没有观察到的解剖特征:颈部区域有一对乳头状的隆起。这一特征似乎在形态学上与颈部“垂带”最一致,皮肤附属物仅在现代家猪(Sus scrofa)和其他一些家养有蹄类动物(如山羊)中表现出来。关于晚更新世艺术家描绘的特征是驯化特征的观点显然是有争议的。因此,我们考虑:(1)我们是否错误地识别了这种特征——这是岩石艺术分析中的一个常见问题;(2)金合欢是否是一种真正的驯化特征;(3)如果是这样,更新世人类驯化西乐种的说法是否可信。所有这些问题都没有明确的解决办法;然而,我们对古代岩石艺术中这种异常现象的调查提出了关于这个岛上早期人猪关系的性质和复杂性的重要问题。

期刊介绍: Archaeology in Oceania is published online and in print versions three times a year: April, July, October. It accepts articles and research reports in prehistoric and historical archaeology, modern material culture and human biology of ancient and modern human populations. Its primary geographic focus is Australia, the islands of the Pacific Ocean and lands of the western Pacific rim. All articles and research reports accepted as being within the remit of the journal and of appropriate standard will be reviewed by two scholars; authors will be informed of these comments though not necessarily of the reviewer’s names.
