Subsistence type is the most fundamental portrayal of prehistoric economic life,and the study of its physical remains,which reflects the economic situation,has become an important way to understand prehistoric economy.Along with the emergence of archaeological materials,the research direction of archaeology is gradually inclined to reveal the complete face of the whole subsistence economy.In Changzhou area,the antler boot-shaped utensils,with its fixed and complex materials,meticulous and sophisticated production,have a regular and unified form,which should belong to a mature category of bone utensils,and also belong to one of the physical remains reflecting the prehistoric economy.Taking this as a glimpse into the dynamic subsistence economy in Changzhou area is a new perspective with a "broadening" nature.Therefore,this paper mainly focuses on the antler boot-shaped utensils at the three target sites: Changzhou Weidun site,Xingang site and Jintan Sanxing village site.Based on the induction of the existing research,the deduction of the later data is made.In order to build a relatively complete space-time framework,sort out the overall distribution,shape characteristics and type evolution of antler boot-shaped utensils in Changzhou area from 6000 to 5300 years ago.At the same time,the concept of niche construction was introduced into the exploration of the subsistence economy in Changzhou area,not limited to the antler boot-shaped utensils,but more concerned about the active behavior of the ancestors of Changzhou area,and the subsistence system(the diversity of natural environment resources,the complexity of pioneering models),the handicraft system(the technical nature of livelihoods,the ideological nature of the substance),the trade system(Liquidity of related utensils),etc.,which are covered under the industry economy.Re-examining this bone appliance,attempts to analyze the transition of antler boot-shaped utensils in Changzhou area in the subsistence system,handicraft system and trade system under different time periods.Further analysis of the economicinformation of subsistence contained in antler boot-shaped utensils in Changzhou area in different time periods.In this paper,we can see the dynamic subsistence economic model of Changzhou area from 6000 to 5300 years ago.At last,under the background of Taihu Lake Basin and even the whole prehistoric society,we will think about the value of the dynamic subsistence economic in Changzhou area from 6000 to 5300 years ago,and sum up the uniqueness of subsistence economy.
