本文研究了乌鲁木齐萨恩萨依墓地出土的人头骨材料,这些材料大部分属于公元前七世纪左右的墓葬。通过观察其颅、面部特点,对其颅、面部进行测量分析,结果显示萨恩萨依墓地出土头骨的人种总体来说属于蒙古人种类型。

This paper is a study of 26 human skulls excavated from ancient tombs in the Saensayi cemetery, Urumchi, Xinjiang, most tombs belonging to circa 700BC according to isotope carbon dating. By observing nonmetric characteristics such as sex, age and morphological freatures, these skeletal materials look European, especially some of the nasal bone features. Comparison of measurements, indices and angle measurements with that of the three major human races, the Saensayi skeletal materials shows a distinct inclination towards the northern Mongoloid type.
