Hypervariable region I (HVRI) in the mitochondrial DNA has been amplified and sequenced. Altogether 10 distinct haplotypes with 15 polymorphic sites have been obtained. A phylogenitic tree of the 10 sequences has been constructed by means of the maximum likelihood method. Four clusters,corresponding to the four tombs, have been presented in the tree. The fact that mitochondrial DNA is inherited exclusively in the female line and the features of graves in matriarchal society suggest that the Jiangjialiang population should not be taken to be a matriarchal community.展开更多

The work covered l, 600 sq m and resulted in the discovery of nine house-foundations and 78 tombs. The house-foundations are square semi-subterraneans arranged in four rows numbered from north to south. The tombs are divided into two types: rectangular earth shafts and earth caves. The funeral objects are mainly grouped in pen basin and dou stemmed vessel combinations.Most of the dead lie singly in an extended supine position. The house-foundations are largely intruded by tombs. ^14C-dating of the foundation F1 shows a date of 6850 ± 80 BP (uncalibrated). The tombs go back to the late Yangshao culture, closing to the Xueshan I period.展开更多
