目的全新世中期至晚期的大规模人口迁移深刻地影响了欧亚大陆，特别是中亚地区的民族和文化的互动。然而，由于缺乏完整的历史文献、独特的墓葬物品和人类遗骸，这一历史时期该地区的人口迁移过程仍不清楚。本研究以拉福克(LFQK)墓地为研究对象，采用跨学科的研究方法，考察了7-12世纪东天山地区人类迁徙的时空过程和影响因素。材料与方法对东天山哈密盆地LFQK墓地出土的56具遗骸的牙釉质进行锶、铅同位素分析。结果根据同位素研究，早期、中期和晚期的迁移可能用三相迁移模型来表示。早期(约7-7世纪中叶)非本地人的比例最高(54.55%)，但这一比例在中期(7世纪中叶-8世纪中叶，30.77%)有所下降。10世纪后，非本地人的比例再次下降(16.13%)。结论本研究采用跨学科的研究方法，提出了东天山地区人类迁徙与文化互动的历时变迁模型，认为地缘政治是影响7-12世纪东天山地区LFQK人口迁徙行为的重要因素。
OBJECTIVE Mid- to late-Holocene large-scale population migration profoundly impacted the interaction of ethnic groups and cultures across Eurasia, notably in Central Asia. However, due to a lack of thorough historical documents, distinctive burial items, and human remains, the process of population migration during this historical era in the area is still unclear. Using an interdisciplinary approach at the Lafuqueke (LFQK) cemetery, this study investigates the spatiotemporal processes and explores the factors that influenced human migration in the eastern Tianshan Mountains between the 7th and 12th centuries. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, tooth enamel from 56 human remains found in the LFQK cemetery in Hami Basin, eastern Tianshan Mountains, is examined for strontium and lead isotopes. RESULTS The early, middle, and late phases of migration might potentially be represented by a three-phase migration model, according to the isotopic study. The highest proportion of the early phase (ca. 7th-mid 7th century) comprised non-locals (54.55%), although this percentage decreased in the middle phase (mid 7th-mid 8th centuries, 30.77%). After the 10th century, the proportion of non-locals again fell (16.13%). CONCLUSION In this study, the interdisciplinary approach was employed to propose a new model for the diachronic changes that accompanied human migration and cultural interaction in the eastern Tianshan Mountains and identified geopolitics as a significant factor influencing the migratory behavior of LFQK population in this region between the 7th and 12th centuries.
