摘要
本文扼要报告1986年春,从新疆哈密距柳树泉不远的焉不拉克村土岗古墓地出土人骨的研究。该墓地的墓葬分布相当密集,但墓葬结构比较简单,为长方形,大多用戈壁沙土制的砖形土坯垒砌而成。笔者观察到的几座墓葬,墓穴中人骨十分散乱,例如同一个体的骨骸可以散布在墓穴的不同部位,也可以散埋在不同深度的土层中,分离无序,甚至有的墓室外堆土中骨骸与墓室中的属同一个体。这些情况说明,这个墓地的大多数墓葬被严重扰乱过。因此,每座墓穴中埋葬的精确人数难以统计。随葬器物中以彩陶器较多,另有骨器及少量金、铜、铁器等,详见发掘报告。墓地建立时代大约相当西周一春秋(公元前十至前五世纪)。
29 skulls unearthed from ancient tombs at the Yianbulake site in Hami, Xinjiang, are described in this paper. Based on morphological observation and cranial measurement 21 of them may be attributed to Far East Mongoloids. A comparision with other ancient and modern Mongoloid skulls shows a great number of similarities between the Yianbulake pattern and the recent Khams Tibetan type described by G. M. Morant.The other 8 skulls(all male) may belong to the Caucasoid and are close to the Bronze Age anthropological pattern in the cemetery at Gumugou.
