【Abstract】 The human skulls studied in the present paper come from the Sodungbrak cemetery of the 5th to 3rd centuries BC in Qapqal County, Xinjiang. Based on the tomb structure and pottery form, they are believed to have been concerned with the Saka nomadizing in this area for a long period. There are 13 males and 10 females among the 23 individuals that can be morphologically examined and measured. The research results suggest that this group of people can be divided into two subgroups according to their physical features. Subgroup I is close to the Central Asian Mesopotamia type, and Subgroup II to the Paleo-Europoid type. Compared with ancient populations in adjacent regions, Subgroup I shows closeness to the Alay-Saka-Wusun, Shihezi-Nanshan and Tianshan-Saka-Wusun groups, while Subgroup II to the Gumugou, Minusinsk-Andronovo and Yanbrak-C groups.更多还原
