摘要
In 1991, the Anyang Archaeological Team, IA, CASS, excavated altogether 1583 oraclebones from a Yin ash-pit (H3) at Locus East of Huayuanzhuang on the Yin Ruins, Anyang. Most of them are tortoise-shells, of which we have made a biological study and species identification. We believethat most of the tortoise-shells belong to Ocadia sinensis and a small part to Chinemys reevesii. Both areliving freshwater tortoises and are extensively distributed in China, including Henan for the latterspecies. It can be inferred that the shells under discussion were largely tributes paid to the Yin dynastyby then local states.
