Abstract
By careful analyses to the available data to date, this paper discusses the issues on the custom of burying dogs in the burials in the prehistoric times, including the temporal and spatial distribution of dog burials, the different characteristics of the dog burials in different times and regions, the intentions of burying dogs in the human burials and the changes and evolutions of them, and so on, by which this paper suggests the origins of this custom and the cultural inheritance of the cultures in the historic period reflected by the appearances of this custom, and finally puts forward new clues of searching for the place of origin of the Shang civilization.
Keywords: Burial-manners and customs; dog remains (Archaeology)-prehistoric age; funeral rites and ceremonies- China-history
