在大汶口文化的墓葬中,死者手旁往往发现有獐牙的随葬。獐牙有时置于死者的右手,有时置于死者的左手,有的两侧都有。这种手持獐牙的习俗从大汶口文化的早期,一直延续到大汶口文化的晚期。獐牙的随葬意味着什么?这种习俗的意义如何?它所反映的社会观念有何特点?本文就此作些尝试性的探讨。 In the Dawenkou culture tombs, the deceased usually found the funeral. Swert teeth sometimes placed in the right hand of the deceased, sometimes placed in the dead left hand, and some on both sides. The custom of holding sweat teeth from Dawenkou culture early, has been extended to the late Dawenkou culture. What does Swert’s funeral mean? What’s the meaning of this custom? What’s the social conception it reflects? This article makes some tentative discussions.
