再论殷墟人祭坑与甲骨文中羌祭卜辞的相关性

On the Potential Correlation Between the Sacrificial Pits at the Royal Cemetery,Yinxu,Anyang and the Records of Killing Qiang and Using Qiang People in the Oracle Bone Inscriptions

作者曾撰《殷墟王陵区人祭坑与卜辞所见"羌祭"及"杀牲法"研究》一文(载香港浸会大学《人文中国学报》,2013年9月),讨论殷墟王陵区祭祀坑与殷墟甲骨文中屡屡提到的"伐羌"、"用羌"卜辞间的关系。文章发表后,作者组织力量对文章涉及到的部分殷墟王陵区人祭坑实施重新发掘。结果表明,殷墟人祭坑中的人骨个体数,与甲骨文中羌祭卜辞中的用羌数量确有显著相关性。

In the article A Study to the Human Sacrificial Pits at People Recorded in the Oracle Bone Inscriptions Concerning the Victim the Yinxu Royal Cemetery and the Qiang Killing in Ritttal Performance （in Sino- Humanitas, Vol. 19, Hong Kong Baptist University, September 2013 ）, the authors discussed the potential correlation between the sacrificial pits at the royal cemetery, Yinxu, Anyang, and the records of killing Qiang and using Qiang people in the oracle bone inscriptions. Following the idea suggested by the article, the authors launched an archaeological excavation at the Royal Cemetery. The excavation demonstrates that in many cases the number of victims buried in a pit or a cluster of pits, are truly identical to the number of the Qiang people killed and recorded in the Oracle Bone Inscriptions. This shed lights to the study of the ancient Qiang people in the age of Shang dynasty.
