北京军都山古代居民的颅骨创伤

Patterns of cranium trauma of ancient pastoralists in Jundushan,Beijing

北京延庆军都山墓地是东周时期玉皇庙文化的代表性墓地。对墓地出土125例个体颅骨创伤的观察表明,军都山男性颅骨创伤的发生率为13.3%,均为生前钝器伤;女性和未成年个体则未发现有颅骨创伤病例。颅骨创伤的发生没有时代变化或墓葬等级间的差异。军都山古代男性居民较高的颅骨创伤率与暴力冲突关系最为密切,是军都山社会关系不稳定性的一种体现,与农牧交错区生态的脆弱性、外来人群流入以及与周边定居农业人群互动等因素所导致的竞争增强有关。

Jundushan cemeteries are key sites of Bronze age pastoral Yuhuangmiao culture from Eastern Zhou Period in North China.Cranial traumas of 125 individuals from the cemetery were examined.Males showed a high prevalence rate(13.3%)but no cases of trauma were found in females and non-adults.All of the injuries were ante-mortem blunt force trauma,the prevalence shows no temporal change or hierarchical difference.The cranial trauma of Jundushan was close related to violent conflict,which was a manifestation of increasing competition and instability in Jundushan society,and was related to the fragile ecology as well as interaction with surrounding sendentary agricultural populations.
