This article investigates six “curved-shape woodware” unearthed from the Yanghai cemetery at Turpan Basin in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region dated before 1000 BC. The author combined with ethnological materials of the Boomerang（飞去来器） around the world, as well as its aerodynamic motion principle. Observations of the shapes and functions of these objects, Strongly indicate that these “curved sticks” are boom- erangs. The evidence from the natural environment of the Turpan Basin and livelihood patterns displayed in Yanghai cemetery proved that boomerangs are important tools in the ancient Yanghai region, which can be used for hunting waterfowls that habitat in marshes, nearby lakes protein shortagef in food. These boomerangs recovered in Yanghai and meadow steppe, as to supplement the cemetery provide important information on understanding the livelihoods pattern and food structure in ancient Yanghai region.
