摘要
内蒙古科左中旗哈民忙哈遗址引人瞩目的原因之一,是在一些房址中发现了较多的人骨遗骸[1]。经统计,2010~2012年发掘的房址中共有10座埋有人骨,最小个体数应大于183具[2]。对该遗址房内埋人的现象,学者们的看法不一[3]。其中应以"鼠疫说"的影响最大,认为鼠疫导致了遗址先民的群体性死亡,出土人骨遗骸的房址是当时的罹难场所[4]。
A large number of human skeletons were found inside some houses at the Hamin Mangha site.The"plague hypothesis"is the most widespread explanation for this phenomenon.Through critical analysis of related studies,this study argues that there is lack of sound evidence to support the plague hypothesis.After examining body positions of human skeletons unearthed from houses and the relationships among these houses and related features,this study demonstrates that the phenomenon of burying human skeletons inside houses is a kind of"intramural burial."Analysis of site formation processes further indicates that burial activities occurred during the first phase of settlement development,and the cessation of certain burial rituals does not necessarily entail overall abandonment of the site.
