上海松江区广富林遗址良渚时期人骨微量元素的初步研究

Analysis of Trace Elements in Liangzhu Culture Human Bone from Guangfulin Site in Songjiang of Shanghai

近几十年来,古代人群的食谱研究已经成为现代科技考古学的一个重要组成部分,也是当前国际科技考古学研究领域的一项前沿性课题。人类骨骼的化学元素分析为重建古代居民的食谱提供了大量信息。采用电感耦合等离子发射光谱仪(ICP-AES)对上海松江区广富林遗址良渚时期出土人骨中的Ba、Ca、Mg、Mn、P、Sr、Zn等7种化学元素测定的结果显示:发达的稻作业为该组居民提供了充足的植物性食物;而水网密集的周边环境同时又为该时期居民提供了丰富水产品,从而极大地补充了其蛋白质的摄入。

In recent decades, the study on the palaeodiet of ancient people has become an important part of the modern technological archaeology and stepped into the forward position of the current international technological archaeological field, as chemical elements in human bones can supply a lot of valuable information to reconstruct the model of ancient diet.The result determined by ICP-AES showed that there were seven chemical elements such as zincum （Zn）, calcium （Ca）, phosphorum （P）, manganum （Mn）, magnesium （Mg）, strontium （Sr）and barium （Ba） in Liangzhu culture human bone from Guangfulin site in Songjiang of Shanghai. It also indicated that plentiful paddy and aquatic products were the main food resources which supplied enough protein for the ancient inhabitants in Liangzhu Culture.
