摘要：The history of pig-breeding can be traced back to the prehistory time in China. The suid remains were commonly found from various Neolithic sites of different stages all over China. Suid domestication were probably carried on during the whole Neolithic period in our country.  Perhaps, our motherland is one of the earliest countries where wild pigs were first tamed successfully into Livestock in the world.
    The present paper deals briefly with the following problems:
    1.  The study of the origin of domestic pig should begin with investigating the mammalian bones recovered at Neolithic sites.
    2.  The method of animal age analysis is a valuable way to distinguish the domestic animal from its wild form.
    3.  In Neolithic period the suid domestication were possibly not confined in one area in China.
    4.  The problem of the origin and the development of domestic pig in China.
    The author proposes here that an animal in a site fauna seems to have “double characters” (means having dual properties): one may be called zoological character, and the other the archaeological character, and in the meantime he would like to emphasize that this viewpoint is considerable important in the research of archaeological site fauna.
