磨盘山遗址新石器时代人骨研究

磨盘山遗址是分布在云南省楚雄彝族自治州元谋盆地的一处新石器时代聚落。本文通过对遗址出土的6例新石器时代人骨的体质人类学研究,得出以下结论:磨盘山组颅骨的形态特征可以概括为中颅型与正颅型相结合,阔额型、阔上面型、阔鼻型、中眶型并伴有颇大的面部扁平度;磨盘山组应属于亚洲蒙古人种范畴,在次级分类比较中与南亚类型在鼻眶形态和上面部形态上表现出更多的相似性;在与亚洲蒙古人种各近代组的比较中,磨盘山组与广西壮族组关系最为密切,与蒙古组关系最为疏远;在与其他新石器对比组的比较中,磨盘山组与代表"古华南类型"的甑皮岩组、鲤鱼墩组和昙石山组表现出更多的一致性,与"古中原类型"和"古华北类型"关系疏远。

Research on Neolithic human skeletons from the Mopanshan site,Yuanmoucounty

The Mopanshan site is in a Neolithic settlement in the Yuanmou basin, Yunnan Province. Based on physical anthropology researches of six Neolithic human skeletons exhumed from the site, the following conclusions can be made. Skull shape and physical characteristics of Mopan group are described as mesocranial, orthocephaly, broad forehead type, euryene, chamaerrhine, and mesoconch with relatively high degree of facial flatness. This Mopanshan group belongs to the Mongolian type, with close similarities to the South Asian, North Asian and Northeast Asian types. Compared to recent Mongolian groups, the Mopanshan is most closely related to the Guangxi Zhuang nationality group. Compared to other Neolithic groups, these finds are similar to the Zengpiyan and Liyudun groups that represent the ancient South China type.
