零口战国墓颅骨的人类学特征

ANTHROPOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SKULLS FROM THE TOMBS OF WARRING STATES PERIOD AT LINGKOU

本文对陕西省临潼县零口村遗址发掘出土的战国秦墓颅骨的人类学特征进行了研究。该组颅骨的种族特征可归入现代亚洲蒙古人种的东亚人种范畴。在若干近代和古代对比组中 ,零口组的基本体质类型与近代华北组、新石器时代的宝鸡组和关中合并组、青铜时代的上马组和殷墟中小墓②组最为接近。

This paper carries on a detailed research on the anthropological characteristics of 7 Skulls (male 5, female 2) unearthed from the tombs of Warring States period at Lingkou, Lintong County, Shaanxi Province. All the skulls are between the ages of 12 to 30. The research result shows that the Lingkou skulls are closest to those of East Asia Mongoloid of Modern populations. The basic physical characteristic of Lingkou population is closer to Baoji-Guanzhong Group among Neolithic populations of China;it is also closer to Shangma Group and the GroupⅡ of Small Tombs of Yinxu among populations of Bronze Age;closer to Northern Chinese among modern Chinese.
