摘要

某些植物會藉著土壤中水分的吸收在細胞內累積形成固態的矽酸，由於其性質不易受到分解破壞，在植物死後乃可長久埋藏於土壤中，因此藉著對其研究便能了解過去的植物相關訊息。矽酸體研究的考古應用在1970年代以後加速發展，對於史前植物生態與農業問題多有貢獻，其中又以稻子的矽酸體在東亞的農業研究中最具成果。
本文選擇大坌坑遺址中屬於大坌坑文化的陶片共10件做為矽酸體實驗研究的分析對象，結果發現在大坌坑文化陶片中含有若干稻子矽酸體，並判斷種類可能屬於野生稻。過去對於大坌坑文化早期的農業證據較少，因此這個結果對於相關問題提供了重要的資料，繼而可以進行若干討論。

Plants absorb water from the soil and mineral matter in the water can accumulate in the plants' cells. These minute particles, called phytolith or opal phytolith, are not easily destroyed or faded away. Even the plants had died for a long time, phytolith can still exist in the relics. Therefore, the phytolith analysis of archaeological remains can also reveal information about the plants that had lived as the same time as early human beings. Phytolith analysis adopted in archaeology has developed promptly since the 1970s, it has achieved a lot in interpreting prehistoric plant and agriculture, especially in the research of phytolith rice of eastern Asia's agricultur.
In this study, 10 pieces of pottery selected from Ta-Peng-Keng Culture within Ta-Peng-Keng site are the subjects for the phytolith analysis. The outcome is that there is some rice phytolith found in Ta-Peng-Keng Culture's pottery, and it could be considered as wild rice. Since few evidence in earlier studies was presented to support Ta-Peng-Keng Culture's early agriculture, this result can provide significant knowledge and data for a further discussion.
