哈密天山北路墓地出土颅骨的测量性状

本文是对出土于新疆哈密地区天山北路青铜时代墓地颅骨测量性状的研究。文中公布了24例天山北路墓地古代人群77项颅骨测量性状基本数据, 在此基础上, 对男、女两性的测量性状特点进行了统计分析, 并结合考古学文化研究和分子生物学研究的相关结论对实验结果进行了讨论和推论。主要研究结论如下: 一是该人群虽已经形成了具有自身特点的、共性的体质特征, 但人群内部也存在些许差异, 尤其是在男性个体数据之中。二是该人群是由分别具有东、西方体质特征的祖先人群混杂融合而成, 是处于当时大人种分布过渡地带的过渡人群。

Craniometric Variation of Ancient Skulls from the Hami Tianshan North Road Cemetery

This study examines within-group variation based on craniometric data obtained from a sample of 24 Bronze Age skeletal human remains recently excavated along the Tianshan North Road, Hami region, Xinjiang. Statistical analysis was applied to 77 craniometric variables of both male and female groups. Morphological affinities showed evidence of a marked biological dissimilarity between the Tianshan North Road group and control groups, and also a considerable distance within Tianshan North Road male group. According to a review of previous archaeological and genetic research in this region, this result could indicate the skeletal population from the Tianshan North Road cemetery has its own unique morphological characteristics and was a group of people living in a transitional area occupied by both eastern and western ancestors.
