Archaeozoological research of Roman animal bones has a long tradition in Switzerland. In the 1950s, Elisabeth Schmid started analysing bones from the Roman city of Augusta Raurica. On the basis of these analyses she published her Atlas of Animal Bones (1972) which is still in use all over the world today. To date, more than 300,000 bone fragments from different Swiss sites have been analysed. In 2002 a synthesis of Swiss data was published by Jörg Schibler et al.; in that publication, the authors focused on social aspects. They assumed that the Roman animal economy was more or less standardized in the region, and that differences existed mainly between settlement types and within sites. In the last few years, not only have more data been recorded, but also other research questions about functional and regional difference—especially between western and eastern Switzerland (Germania Superior and Raetia)—are becoming more important. These differences show the variability and adaptability of the Roman economy.

罗马瑞士的畜牧业：研究现状和新视角

罗马动物骨骼的考古学研究在瑞士有着悠久的传统。1950 年代，伊丽莎白施密德开始分析罗马城市奥古斯塔劳里卡的骨头。在这些分析的基础上，她发表了她的动物骨骼图集(1972) 至今仍在世界各地使用。迄今为止，已经分析了来自瑞士不同地点的超过 300,000 块骨头碎片。2002 年，Jörg Schibler 等人发表了一份瑞士数据综合报告；在该出版物中，作者侧重于社会方面。他们假设该地区的罗马动物经济或多或少是标准化的，并且差异主要存在于定居类型之间和地点内部。在过去的几年里，不仅记录了更多的数据，而且关于功能和区域差异的其他研究问题——尤其是瑞士西部和东部（日耳曼尼亚苏必利尔和雷蒂亚）之间的差异——也变得越来越重要。这些差异显示了罗马经济的可变性和适应性。
