克什克腾旗龙头山青铜时代颅骨的人类学研究

THE BRONZE AGE HUMAN SKULLS FROM LONGTOUSHAN SITE IN KESHIKETENG BANNER

本文对内蒙古自治区赤峰市克什克腾旗龙头山青铜时代遗址发掘出土的颅骨进行了人种学研究。 1 1例男性颅骨和 3例女性颅骨的种族特征基本相似 ,均可归入现代亚洲蒙古人种的东亚人种范畴 ,某些特征则显示出北亚人种的影响。在若干古代和近代对比组中 ,龙头山青铜时代居民的体质特征分别与顺山屯青铜时代居民和近代华北居民最为接近。

The human skulls studied in this article are from Longtoushan site in Keshiketeng Banner,Chifeng city,Inner Mongolia.The age of the cranial material (11 males and 3 females ) ranges from 14 to 50 years.The article described the morphological features of Longtoushan crania in some details and discussed the problems concerning the racial relationship between the Longtoushan crania and other mordern and ancient crania of Asiatic Mongoloids.\;The majority of the crania of Longtoushan population belong to mesocrany,hypsicrany and acrocrany.Date of measurements and indices are shown in Table 2.Most of the skulls have no or small canine fossa and weak anterior nasal spine.Their zygomatic bones are wide and zygomatico\|maxillar junction is less rounded.The frequency of occurences of crista sagittalis, mandibular torus and shovel incisor are high.\;The physical features of Longtoushan crania show that the racial type is closely related to the Eastern Asiatic Mongoloids,but some physical features of Longtoushan skulls are closer to those in the Northern Chinese crania and the Bronze Age human skulls from Shunshantun site of Kangping County,Liaoning province.
