锶同位素分析技术目前已经成为考古学界用于探索人类迁移活动和生存方式的重要方法。本文以中原地区新石器时期的瓦店遗址为例,探讨了利用锶同位素分析技术追溯古代人类来源的可能性。采用热电离质谱分析方法对瓦店遗址出土的5个人类牙釉质样品的锶同位素比值进行了测定。结果表明,瓦店遗址出土的5个人类个体可能都是外来者。
Strontium isotopic analyses of incrementally developed dental can be used to reveal patterns of movement and live in human. This paper presents a pilot study designed to test the use of Strontium isotopes for investigating aspects of movement and live in human in the Neolithic of central China, using the site of Wadian as a case study. Tooth Enamel samples from 5 human individuals were analyzed for strontium isotope ratio, by the thermal ionization mass spectrometry. As results shows, All 5 human individuals from the Wadian site fell well outside the local strontium isotopes ratio range and were considered to be non-local.
