摘要
前言人骨稳定同位素δ^(13)C、δ^(15)N分析是古人类食物状况研究的主要方法,δ^(13)C可以显示人的主食状况,δ^(15)N则反映其食肉程度的多少,两者相结合可以大致区分出样品来自一般农业区、牧区,还是临近河海的地区。δ^(13)C分析方法在国内的应用已有30余年~[1],δ^(15)N分析方法的应用也有近15年~[2]。通过两种分析手段的结合,揭示了许多遗址古代居民的食物状况。同时,由于食物的生产。
The burial M54 excavated in 2000 through 2001 at Yinxu Site was rather well preserved; it had a larger size, yielded large amount of bronzes, jades and other grave goods, showing that its occupant was a high-ranking aristocrat of the Shang Dynasty. In addition to the remains of the burial occupant, many other human skeletons that might have been human victims and human sacrifices were also found in the grave. The results of the analyses of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of the human skeletons unearthed from M54 at Yinxu Site showed that the staple foods of the burial occupant and the human victims and human sacrifices were all C4plants, but the trophic level of the burial occupant was clearly higher than that of the human victims, his diet pattern was more diversified and meat and fish took higher proportion in his diet. The analyses referring to the context of the burial and other elements showed that the origins and identities of the human victims and human sacrifices might be different.
