新石器时代的噩梦 长期以来,考古学家一直在推测7000年前在奥地利阿斯潘村发生的可怕事情,那儿的100多具尸骨表明他们曾接连地被暴力所杀。由于尸骨保存得很差,所以一时无法确定这个新石器时代的山村究竟发生了什么事。最近,化学家利用锶同位素分析揭开了这个谜底。食物中的锶会沉积在骨头和牙釉中,通过分析这些锶,就能看出此人来自何处。运用此方法,研究人员推断这些不幸遇难者其实是被外来入侵者杀死的村民。
Neolithic Nightmare Archeologists have long speculated about the terrible things that took place in Aspen, Austria, 7,000 years ago, where more than 100 bones showed that they were killed in succession by violence. Due to the very poor preservation of the bones, it was impossible to determine exactly what happened to this Neolithic mountain village. Recently, chemists using strontium isotope analysis opened the mystery. Strontium in food is deposited in bones and tooth enamel, and by analyzing these strontium you can see where the person came from. Using this method, the researchers concluded that these unfortunate victims were in fact villagers killed by alien invaders.
