本文对俄罗斯远东地区特罗伊茨基墓地1969年发掘出土的10例靺鞨颅骨(男性5例,女性5例)进行了人类学的观察和测量,认为该组颅骨在种族特征上可归入现代亚洲蒙古人种的范围。在若干古代和现代对比组中,特罗伊茨基组古代居民的体质特征与古代贝加尔组群、现代中央亚细亚组群和贝加尔组群较为接近。
The Mohe peoples are a celebrated population found in ancient northeastern Asia who roamed the area of modern Manchuria(Heilongjiang province) from the 5th century until the 10th century.At the end of the 7th century they founded the kingdom of Bohai.Traditional Chinese historians identify the Mohe as the same people as the Sushen,Yilou and Wuji,and it was during the Sui period that the Wuji renamed themselves the Mohe.The most important tribes of this group were the southernmost Sumo and the northernmost Heishui. In this article,ten ancient human skulls(five male and five female) unearthed from the Tang Dynasty cemetery at the Troitskiy site of Mohe near the Jieya River in far-eastern of Russia were studied.The Troitskiy cemetery is one of the most significant sites representing Mohe archaeology and east-west population exchanges in ancient northeast Asia.Morphological features of the Troitskiy crania show that this racial type is closely related to modern North Asiatic Mongoloids,although some physical characteristics of these skulls are closer to those of the ancient and modern Baikal populations.
