摘要：

As with many archaeofaunal assemblages that were excavated before the 1970s, the faunal collection from the Late Paleolithic site of Zhoukoudian Upper Cave suffers from excavation-and curation-related differential discard and loss of particular kinds of skeletal elements. Yet taphonomic analysis of the mortality profiles and bone surface modifications indicates (1) that the Lower Recess probably served as a natural trap and (2) that hunter-gatherers processed cervids on site. This study supports the hypotheses originally proposed by Wen-chung Pei.
