    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Craft Specialization and Animal Products at the Longshan Period Sites of Taosi and Zhoujiazhuang, Shanxi Province, China A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology by Katherine Richards Brunson 2015 ©Copyright by Katherine Richards Brunson 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Craft Specialization and Animal Products at the Longshan Period Sites of Taosi and Zhoujiazhuang, Shanxi Province, China by Katherine Richards Brunson Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Paul Jeffrey Brantingham, Chair The late third millennium BCE was a period of technological and cultural change in China’s Yellow River valley. Domestic cattle and sheep were introduced into China from West Asia during this period, marking a shift in the zooarchaeological record and the arrival of new methods of animal exploitation. Using zooarchaeological evidence for the exploitation of secondary products and bone working at the Late Neolithic Longshan period sites of Taosi and Zhoujiazhuang in Shanxi Province, I examine the relationship between animal products, craft specialization, and increasing social complexity. My research suggests that non-subsistence uses of cattle and sheep were important factors that contributed to the adoption of herding in the Central Plains region, and that the nature of cattle and sheep exploitation varied between sites depending on local environmental and cultural conditions. Additionally, I use ancient DNA analysis to identify bovine oracle bones from Taosi and Zhoujiazhuang. Both domestic cattle and wild aurochs scapulas were used in divination rituals, raising the possibility that people ii experimented with managing native East Asian wild aurochs alongside domestic cattle.

In this study, a simple, rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method is described for determination of remifentanil in rat plasma samples using carba- mazepine as the internal standard from pharmacokinetic assays. Sample preparation was accomplished through liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate, and chromatographic separation was performed on an Acquity BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) with gradient profile at a flow of 0.4 mL/min. The linearity of this method was found to be within the concentration range of 2-1000 ng/mL for remifentanil in rat plasma. Only 3.0 min was needed for an analytical run. The method was applied to a pharmacoki- netic study of remifentanil in rats. RESUMEN.
