摘要
本文对广东南海县鱿鱼岗新石器晚期墓葬中出土的人骨进行了形态观察和测量,认为这些古代人的骨骼属蒙古人种华南人类型。鉴定出他们的性别年龄分布,并发现有拔牙风俗。
The materials of human bone studied in this paper were unearthed by the archaeological group of the Guangdong Provincial Museum and the archaeological students of Beijing Univer-sity from Late Neolithic Youyu Hill, Shell Mound in Nanhai County, Guangdong Province in 1985.
Of 26 skeletons observed 16 males and 3 females can be determined. The age of most skeletons was under 14 and 36-55.
Only 5 skulls can be studied because of poor preservation.
The stature of males is higher than that of females. The former is 157.18 cm and the latter is 155.29 cm in average.
The custom of extracting upper incisors and upper premolars was found in Youyu Hill population.
Based on the research of skeletons, we found that the population of Youyu Hill has the features of Mongoloid of Southern China.
