本文对河南省渑池笃忠遗址仰韶晚期灰坑出土人骨的骨病做了详细的观察。在牙病方面,对龋病、牙周病、牙釉质发育不全等情况做了记录和分析,应用两样本率差异的χ2检验,比较了龋病在性别、年龄的差异。研究结果表明,笃忠组龋病的患齿率性别差异不显著,与年龄变化也没有明显的关系。此外,笃忠组人骨标本中还观察到错畸形、骨瘤、退行性脊柱炎、筛状眶和多孔性骨肥厚等病理和1处颅骨创伤的痕迹;另外,该标本中还存在枕部人工变形、拔牙和凿齿的现象。
Dental pathologies(such as caries,periodontal disease,hypoplastic defects) and skeletal pathologies(including malocclusions,osteomas,degenerative disease in the vertebral column,cribra orbitalia,porotic hyperostosis and lesions of skull) were analyzed in 15 skeletal samples from the Duzhong site(dating to late Yangshao culture) in Henan Province.Age and sex comparisons of individuals with caries were analyzed using Chi-squared(x2) tests,with results showing that sexual difference of frequencies of caries is not significant.In addition,caries are not significantly associated with age.In term of pathologies,artifical occipital deformation was examined in one skeletal sample and dental extraction in four skeletal samples.
