摘要
一、人类骨骼考古学的概念人类骨骼考古学,即以考古出土的人类骨骼作为材料,提取对于考古学研究有用的信息,进而尝试解决考古学问题并试图恢复人骨所代表的人类个体和群体在体质特征、人口状况、健康状况、行为模式等方面的信息。这种理念与体质人类学(或称生物人类学)这一学科并不一致,而是与生物考古学的理念相近。按照朱泓先生的定义,体质人类学(physical anthropology)指的是'研究人类体质特征与类型在时间上和空间上的变化及其规律的科学。
Human osteoarchaeology is a discipline which studies archaeological samples of human skeletons. As a branch of archaeology, its concept is different from physical anthropology,but resembles the concept of bioarchaeology arisen in American. Evolutionism,uniformitarianism, probability theory and the principles of statistics are the basic theories in human osteoarchaeology. During the development, 'osteological paradox' and the issues on representativeness in archaeological skeletal sample are protogenetic theoretical issues arisen in this discipline. In human osteoarchaeological research, scientific logic and the issues generated by the theories should be taken into account seriously.
