摘要
本报告材料来源于1956—1957年河南陕县庙底沟新石器时代遗址的发掘中收集的一部分人骨。据1959年《庙底沟与三里桥》的报告,这批人骨出自庙底沟二期文化墓葬。这一文化可能是"龙山早期或由仰韶到龙山的一种过渡性质的文化",对阐明我国黄河流域古代文化发展的连续性具有重要意义。在这次发掘中,共发现龙山墓葬一百四十五座,人骨大部分保存较好。这些人骨的墓葬有固定的方向和葬式,全部都是单身葬。
The human skeletal remains studied in the present report were collected during the excavation of the Neolithic site at Miaodigou in Shan Xian, Henan Province in 1956-1957. According to the excavation report, they were unearthed from the tombs of the Miaodigou Ⅱ Culture (Longshan Culture) at the site. The material examined in the present report consists of thirteen male skulls, seven female skulls and some postcranial bones.Measurements of the skulls indicate that they are related to the modern East Asiatic Mongoloids and shows an even greater degree of resemblance to the Yangshao and Dawenkou series of north China. This fact suggests that the people of various Neolithic cultures in the middle and lower Yellow River valley were closely related to one another.
