秦始皇平定岭南之后,任命任嚣为南海尉,管理岭南三郡.解读任嚣留给继任者赵佗的遗言,可以了解与任嚣以及他所率领的岭南秦军有关的史实.首先,任嚣遗言可能出现于定陶之战后到巨鹿之战前这段时间,任嚣留下遗言之时,政局走势尚不明朗.其次,任嚣从没有接到过朝廷要求北上支援的诏令,因而在群雄中原逐鹿之际一直驻守在岭南.再次,岭南秦军人数有限,实力并不算强.最后,在反秦起义风起云涌之时,任嚣恪守职责,始终忠诚于朝廷,同时他对秦朝暴政的危害也有一定的认识,对岭南地区未来的发展进行了筹划.

荥阳官庄遗址是郑州西北郊地区两周时期的一处大型环壕聚落遗址.本文通过对官庄遗址出土的6例东周时期颅骨的人种学分析,得出以下结论:1.官庄组形态特征可概括为高颅型、中颅型与狭颅型相结合,偏狭的上面型和鼻型,较为垂直的面型以及中等的眶型和面部扁平度.2.官庄组与现代亚洲蒙古人种东亚类型较为接近,与北亚类型关系较为疏远.3.在与相关古代组的比较中,官庄组表现出与上马组、乔村合并组和殷墟中小墓Ⅱ组接近,而与双塔组、井沟子组和台西组关系疏远的特点.

The Xubao site in the eastern part of the county town of Xubao Village,Henan Province is a typical Longshan culture settlement located on the north shore of the Yellow River.The site dates about 4500-4000 years ago.Unearthed bone specimens of the Longshan period help us to understand the Yangshao and Longshan cultures of the central plains peoples.Morphometric craniofacial analysis of two female skulls gave the following results.The characteristic cranial form is a combination of middle cranial,tropibasic,and narrow skull cranial type,with mesoprosopy,chamaerrhine,mesoconch traits.The anterior nasal spine shows Broca degree I.The canine fossa is underdeveloped,and the cranial suture is simply developed.Xubao residents belong to modern Asian Mongolian people and shows a close relationship with the recent Fushun group (R=1.08).Compared to ancient groups,similarities are with the recent Baoji group (R=0.48),the Miaozigou group (R=0.49),the DadianziI group (R=0.55),and the Youyao group (R=0.59).
