Abstract

Knowledge of the burial customs of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) in the Near East is increasing. Particularly, lately a large number of burials and skeletal remains have been unearthed in the Upper Tigris Basin, thanks to a number of new excavation projects in recent years. The newly revealed findings indicate that PPNA burial customs varied considerably in the region from site to site. However, the 10th millennium BCE burial ÇH 2019/05 at Çemka Höyük shows as well that there are also different burial practices with in settlements. ÇH 2019/05 belongs to a female individual, accompanied by animal skeletal elements, who appears to may have been a shaman or at least had been buried by someone practicing ways associated with what we understand nowadays as animism or shamanism. Hence, the burial may represent one of the earliest known examples of its kind in an Anatolian Neolithic context.

来自土耳其底格里斯河上游流域切姆卡霍尤克 PPNA 聚居地的 "萨满 "墓葬
人们对近东陶器前新石器时代(PPNA)墓葬习俗的了解与日俱增。特别是近年来在底格里斯河上游盆地进行的一些新发掘项目,出土了大量墓葬和骨骼遗骸。新发现表明,该地区不同遗址的 PPNA 墓葬习俗有很大差异。不过,Çemka Höyük 的公元前 10 千年墓葬 ÇH 2019/05 也表明,不同聚落也有不同的埋葬习俗。ÇH 2019/05 属于一名女性,伴有动物骨骼元素,她似乎可能是一名萨满,或者至少是被某个人埋葬的,其埋葬方式与我们今天所理解的万物有灵论或萨满教有关。因此,该墓葬可能是安纳托利亚新石器时代已知最早的同类墓葬之一。
