摘要/Abstract

摘要： 本文应用稳定同位素δ13C、δ15N对中原地区仰韶文化遗址, 即郑州西山、西安鱼化寨和灵宝西坡遗址出土人骨中碳、氮稳定同位素进行分析。结果显示,遗址基本均是以C4类植物为主食。δ15N值显示人们食物中也有一定程度的肉类。同时, 对相关区域的部分动物骨头的碳同位素分析结果表明, 家养动物的食性与人类食物状况具有一定的相关性, 这在C4类植物为人类主食区域中再次得到显示和证明。结合墓葬状况的分析表明, 仰韶时期已经存在社会分层现象, 在人们食物状况上也有体现。

Abstract: Isotopic analysis of human bones using 13 C and 15 N is used to determine the diet of ancient peoples from the Yangshao Culture sites of the Central Plains including the Xishan site in Zhengzhou, Yuhuazhai site in Xian and the Xipo site in Lingbao. The results of this work show that these people consumed C4 plants as a staple food. Isotopic analysis of 15 N shows that there is some meat in their diet. For this research，animal bones from related regions were also analyzed, which indicate that the diet of domesticated animals was similar to the diet of the people. Dietary analysis has also been linked to social rank through the analysis of burial tombs for the Yangshao period.
