摘要
山西是小麦的重要产地,也是面食起源和传播的核心区。因此,追溯小麦在山西种植和推广的时间一直是学术界关注的热点问题之一。目前,小麦何时开始在山西种植和推广,并何时成为先民重要的食物来源,已成为相关研究的重要课题。小麦在西亚的新月沃地被驯化和栽培后,开始一路向东传播和推广[1]。大约在距今4500年前,小麦被传播到我国境内,不仅慢慢在先民食物结构中占据一席之地,而且还逐步改变着北方传统粟黍农业的格局[2]。
In order to explore the expansion of wheat in ancient Shanxi and its possible impact on human diet and their subsistence economy,stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes analyses were performed on human bones from the Yuwu cemetery,a cemetery from Eastern Zhou Dynasty to Han Dynasty,Tunliu City,Shanxi Province,China.The humans have a large range ofδ13C(-12.8‰~-8.3‰,-10.2±1.4‰,n=21)andδ15N(5.3‰~11.4‰,9.5±1.3‰,n=21)values which reflects diverse diets and included individuals with mixed C3/C4 diets as well as those with exclusive C4 diets.It can be concluded that the C3 foods in the diet of local farmers mainly came from wheat,which indicate that the cultivation of wheat had been more and more popularized in Shanxi.Compared to theδ13C andδ15N values of humans form others sites,contemporary to and near the Tunliu Yuwu Cemetery,the similar isotopic patterns for the most humans was presented,indicating that the periods from Eastern Zhou Dynasties to Han Dynasties is a turning point for the expansion of wheat in the Northern China.
