摘要
在全世界出土的约1500例穿孔头骨中,主要可分为两类:一是断面愈合、切口圆滑的穿孔头骨;二是断面未愈合、棱角明显的穿孔头骨。造成差异的原因,主要是穿孔切片时间的差异造成的。截取颅骨片的主要动机和目的是驱邪和护身,具有多重的象征意义,一是为了获得同族成员智慧、勇气和力量,二是为了获得同族成员的护佑。
The 1500-odd sets of unearthed perforated skulls all over the world are mainly categorized into two types:the ones with the cross section healed and the kerf smooth and the ones with the cross section unhealed and edges pointed.The reason for this is the time difference of perforation and cutting.The main purpose of taking skull slice is to exorcize evil spirit and take it as an amulet,the symbolic significance of which is to gain the wisdom,courage,power,support and protection from the kin members.
