【摘要】：一般认为,先民食物结构的差异是人类不同社会等级的重要表现形式之一。然而,对于考古学资料中未见明显等级差异的先民来说,其是否存在食物结构上的差别,仍需认真加以探讨。为此,本文对山西聂店遗址墓葬(基本无随葬品或随葬品较少)中出土的人骨进行了C、N稳定同位素分析,研究结果表明:先民的食物结构,体现了典型中国北方农业经济的特点,即以粟作农业和家畜饲养为生。此外,尽管在考古学意义上聂店先民的等级相近,但其在食物资源的获取上却显示出明显差异,且这种差异与先民的性别、年龄和随葬品的种类和多寡无关。因此,在社会等级较为模糊的人类社会,先民对食物资源的获取,很可能更多地受到人群组成、生活习惯等因素的影响,而与社会等级的相对高低无关。
[Abstract]:It is generally believed that the difference of food structure is one of the important manifestations of different social levels.However, whether there is a difference in food structure among the ancestors who did not have obvious grade differences in archaeological data still needs to be seriously explored.Therefore, in this paper, the Con N stable isotope analysis of human bones unearthed from the tombs of Nidian site, Shanxi Province (with little or no burial objects) has been carried out. The results show that the food structure of the ancestors,It embodies the characteristics of typical agricultural economy in northern China, that is, millet farming and livestock raising.In addition, although the grade of Nidian ancestors is similar in archaeological sense, it shows obvious difference in obtaining food resources, and this difference has nothing to do with the gender, age, type and quantity of burial objects of the ancestors.Therefore, in the human society where the social hierarchy is relatively vague, the acquirement of food resources by the ancestors is likely to be more affected by the composition of the population, life habits and other factors, but it has nothing to do with the relative level of the social class.
