摘要
自人类产生,女性就在历史的发展进程中发挥着举足轻重的作用。在生产力低下的旧石器时代和新石器时代的早、中期,世界各地都出现过女性崇拜的现象[1,2]。随着生产力的大发展,社会财富的积累,社会的复杂化程度开始加剧,男性在社会中的重要性日益凸显,而女性的地位则开始逐步降低[3]。
Here we present carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratio results from human(n=34)and animal(n=10)from the Northern Wei Dynasty cemetery in Shuiposi,Datong,Shanxi Province,China to explore the social status of females during the Northern Wei Dynasty.If some outliers(M9-west,M27,M74,M81)were excluded,theδ13C(-12.4‰^-5.0‰,-7.5±1.9‰,n=30)andδ15N(7.9‰~10.9‰,9.1±0.8‰,n=30)results show a primary C4 diets with the consumption of a certain amount of protein from animals,which suggest that they made their living mainly by millet farming and the animal husbandry of domestic animals.However,the funerary animals,i.e.,sheep/goats,horses,et al.,were not the primary meat resources for the most people in the Northern Wei Dynasty cemetery in Shuiposi.Meanwhile,the most ancient populations in this cemetery almost had the same millet-based diets,indicating that the ancestors’access to food may have nothing to do with their sex and/or social hierarchy and millet-based agriculture become more and more important for the most people in the Northern Wei Dynasty cemetery in Shuiposi,Datong.
