【摘要】 <正> 1958年底,拉薩西藏社会历史調查組在塔工地区林芝村附近发現一些古代人类遺骸,其中包括属于同一个体的头盖骨、肢骨和中軸骨。該地位置距离尼洋河与雅魯藏布江汇流处不远,除人骨外,沒有发現人类文化遺物或兽类骨骼。此头盖骨保存了頗为完整的顱頂、破的顱底和鼻骨、左上颌骨和下頜骨等。从头骨的頂面观察,头形呈卵圓形,稍不对称(图版Ⅰ,1)。头长174毫米,寬140毫米,头骨的长寬指数为80.4,属短头型。头骨在眉嵴上方的水平周长为500毫米,較現代人更多还原

【Abstract】 The human skeletal remains including a skull cap, a lower jaw, a manubrium of sternal bone and a left calcaneus and so on were found near Linchih Village, eastern Tibet, in December, 1958. No artifacts or mammalian fossils were found at the site. The human remains belong to a young female individual and possess some primitive characters such as the more posterior position of bregma, thicker parietal bone, robust mandible and teeth, etc. Besides, they show some special features such as the incisive spine, tuberculum suprasternalis and trochler process of calcaneus. The morphological features, especially the nasal bone and the shovel-shaped upper canine tooth, indicate that they are closer to the Mongoloid skulls of the late Neolithic or Aeneolithic age. Judging from the characters of the brachycephalus, the lesser value of palatine breadth and the least frontal breadth, they are probably related to the A-type of Tibetan (Morant, 1923).更多还原
