Abstract

Analysis of mammalian species composition has been performed for eight archaeological sites on the Ustyurt plateau. They date to the range from the middle Subboreal to the middle Subatlantic. The modern species composition of large mammals formed by the end of the Middle Holocene (Subboreal 2) and did not change until the early 20th century. The ungulate species composition and ratio on the plateau showed geographical variation and changed over time. Boars were always rare or absent in the north of Ustyurt. The structure of the ungulate fauna in the north of Ustyurt changed over time. Onager numbers in this area increased and saiga numbers decreased in the middle of the Late Holocene. Significant geographical differences in the structure of ungulate fauna were recorded in the middle of the Late Holocene. The numbers of onagers, goitered gazelles, and argali were higher, whereas the numbers of saigas were lower in the south of Ustyurt than in the north.

乌斯秋尔特高原全新世哺乳动物动物区系的新数据。

摘要

已对乌斯秋尔特高原的八个考古遗址进行了哺乳动物物种组成的分析。它们的年代范围从中亚次大陆到中亚大西洋。大型哺乳动物的现代物种组成是在中新世末期（Subboreal 2）形成的，直到20世纪初才改变。高原上的有蹄类动物组成和比例显示出地理差异，并随时间变化。乌斯秋尔特北部的公猪总是很少见或缺席的。乌斯秋尔特北部有蹄类动物的结构随时间变化。在晚新世中期，该地区的食虫数量增加而赛加羚羊数量减少。全新世中期记录到有蹄类动物的结构存在明显的地理差异。暴食者，瞪羚的瞪羚，
