摘要
东周到汉代(770 BC~220A. D.)是中国历史发展的关键时期,经历了由列国林立到国家统一的历史过程,研究这一时期的食谱变迁对我们了解当时人们的生活状况乃至政治、经济、文化等均有重要意义。龙湖国棉一厂遗址位于河南省新郑市,北距郑韩故城30多千米。本研究对龙湖国棉一厂遗址55例样本(包括51例人骨和4例动物骨骼)进行了碳、氮稳定同位素分析。结果表明,从东周(δ^(13)C=-12.7‰±1.6‰,δN=7.9‰±0.8‰;n=33)到两汉时期(δ^(13)C=-15.2‰±1.3‰,δN=8.8‰±0.9‰;n=17),龙湖国棉一厂遗址居民食谱发生了显著变化;人们食谱中C食物和肉食资源的比例显著升高,这可能与两汉时期小麦的推广及经济发展有关。此外,本研究对东周时期生活在郑韩故城城内和城外地区居民食谱进行了比较,结果表明,当时生活在城内的居民食物质量普遍较高;相较之下,生活在防守城邑附近(龙湖国棉一厂遗址)的居民食物质量较差。龙湖国棉一厂人群的稳定同位素数据为了解东周-两汉时期生业经济的发展,以及城郊居民的食谱差异提供了重要线索。
The Eastern Zhou and Han Dynasty(770 BC~220 A.D.)are key periods in Chinese history, during which the country experienced the transition from numerous states to a united nation, and from frequent wars and turmoil to greater stability. Investigations of people’s diet during this period can provide important insights on the economy, politics, culture and people’s life of that time. Longhu Guomianyichang(34° 36′46″N, 113° 43′32″E) is approximately 30 km north of the well-studied and contemporaneous ancient urban Zhenghan City, which is under the present-day city of Xinzheng, Henan Province. Using carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis, we examined 51 human bones and 4 animal bones from Longhu Guomianyichang to study the impact of sociopolitical changes on human diets over time. Results demonstrate a significant dietary change between the Eastern Zhou(δ^(13)C=-12.7‰±1.6‰, δN=7.9‰±0.8‰;n=33)and Han Dynasty(δ^(13)C=-15.2‰±1.3‰, δN=8.8‰±0.9‰;n=17)periods for individuals living at Longhu Guomianyichang, with an increase in Cfoods over time(mainly wheat, which was increasing in popularity during the Han Dynasty)as well as more meat consumption in Han Period diets. Further, we compare the diets of Eastern Zhou people living in the area of ancient Zhenghan City with those from Longhu Guomianyichang and find that urban dwellers generally had higher quality diets that contained more of the culturally valued foods of millet and meat. The isotopic results from Longhu Guomianyichang provide important insights on both dietary changes over time and the living conditions for those dwelled inside and outside of the city.
