The Shijiahe statuettes represent various animal species and human appearances and provide valuable data for researching the features of early works of art as well as people s material and spiritual life. Based on the data from the Dengjiawan Site yielding pottery works of art and possessing features of primitive religion the present paper discusses the factors causing the rise and development of this type of work of primitiive art and its function in prehistoric religious activities. In addition the author inquires into the changes of ecologic and climatic environments across the ancient and modern Yangtze River and Hanjiang River valleys in the light of discovery of pottery elephants and tapirs. 1 90% 3 4 2
