摘要
通过对内蒙古哈民忙哈遗址人骨死亡年龄的统计与分析,得出该群体的年龄结构框架:房址内人骨的平均死亡年龄为26.8岁,男性平均死亡年龄为34.3岁,女性的平均死亡年龄为30.6岁;群体的死亡高峰期集中在未成年期、壮年期和中年期,无老年期个体;F40与其他房址居民总体平均死亡年龄比较接近(26.2岁<27.7岁),各个年龄段的死亡率上略有差异,F40相对于其他房址,个体死亡年龄上表现出更为集中的分布特点。哈民组与喇家组和庙子沟组的年龄结构比较结果显示,哈民组与庙子沟组有着更相似的年龄构成,从而反映出在这3个史前灾难遗址的成因方面,哈民忙哈遗址与庙子沟遗址之间存在着明显的共性,即均可能与某种急性传染病(瘟疫)的突然爆发有关。F40人骨堆积应为古代人类有意识将遗骸逐次拖入房内,集中堆放而形成。其他房址鉴于死者狰狞的体态和随身佩戴玉器的证据,房内人骨堆积很可能是个体死后的原始场景。
Statistics and analysis of human bones age-at-death of Hamin Mangha Site suggesting the group's profile of age structure: the average age of death of human bones in the site was 26. 8 years old. The average age of death for males was 34. 3 years old and 30. 6 for females. Mortality peaked clusters in juvenile,young adults and middle adults. There were no elder adults. The average age at death of residents in F40 was close to the average age at death of residents in other sites( 26. 2 < n < 27. 7). There are some differences in mortality of all ages. Compared to other sites,distribution characteristic of individuals' age at death of F40 appeared more concentrated. The comparison of Hamin group with Lajia group and Miaozigou group shows that Hamin group and Miaozigou group have more similar age profile. Human bones accumulation in F40 is formed because ancient human put remains into the house successively and stacked centrally. In view of posture of human bones and evidences of wearing jade around in other sites,we can infer that human bones accumulation may be the original scenes of individual death.
