摘要
本报告材料是昙石山新石器时代遗址第六次发掘出土的入骨(发掘报告见本期83页),由福建省博物馆提供的。据田野记录,出土入骨架共二十九具,其中小孩骨架12具,其余为成年入骨架。遗骸保存欠佳,小孩骨髂全部损坏,成年人骨也大多残缺不全。经整修,可供观测的只有9个头骨(男性 M2、9、13,女性 M4、5、11、17、18、24),并各配有下颌骨(图版壹、贰)。本文主要从头骨的形态观察和测量,目的是对昙石山新石器时代人的种属进行初步探讨。个别死后严重压挤变形而影响测量的项目未列入计数。由于女性头骨变形较重,在测量比较时,主要依据三个头形正常的男性头骨。体骨部分从略。
The materials studied in the present paper were obtained in 1964—1965 from theNeolithic site at T'an-shih-shan in Min-hou County,Fukien Province.They consist ofthe skulls and mandibles of three males and six females,which have all been observedand measured.Morphologically,the skulls clearly represent the Mongoloid inspite of someAustralian-Negroid features.A comparison of their cranial data with those of the mo-dern Mongoloids of Asia shows that they resemble both the Southern Mongoloidsand the East Asiatic Mongoloids.But their short upper facial height,great nasal index,low orbital index and small mean angle of the upper facial flattening all attest to acloser affinity to the Southern Mongoloids.Comparisons with other Neolithic skulls exca-vated in China show that they resemble the Yangshao skulls of Shensi Province.How-ever the T'an-shih-shan people tend to have a longer head,shorter face and wider nose.A reconstruction of the stature of the Tan-shih-shan male skeletons using the formu-lae evolved by Trotter and Gleiser for Mongoloids gives an average of 163.5cm.Theaverage cranial capacity of the males is 1521c.c.while that of the females is 1485.6c.c.
