Archaeological Research on the Prehistoric Interrelations beyond the South China Sea.

位于越南中部庆和省金兰市的花店是一处铁器时代的墓葬遗址，于2007年1月由越南和日本合作小组挖掘，目的是获得关于南中国海以外史前相互关系的考古证据。挖掘坑H1(6x8米)产生了14个罐子埋葬和两个延长埋葬。在一个标有M6的墓坛里，有两枚与人骨有关的汉武珠硬币，这表明华典的墓地很可能可以追溯到公元1世纪和2世纪。该小组于2008年进行的发掘工作证明，和典的墓罐和盖子与流传于越南中部的萨欣文化有很大不同，而殡仪配件陶器与菲律宾中部卡拉奈洞穴发现的陶器有惊人的相似之处。因此，有必要重新审视索尔海姆在20世纪60年代提出的Sa-Huynh-Kalanay陶器传统。Hoa Diem也可能与所谓的南岛人假说有关，该假说认为说南岛人的人在公元前1500-500年的某个时候从菲律宾或婆罗洲到达越南东海岸。花店骨骼的牙齿形态显示出与菲律宾黑人群体的密切联系，也证实了人类迁徙到南中国海以外的地方。Hoa Diem最突出的殡仪馆做法是，一些殡仪罐里装着多具身体。在一个标有M8的球形罐子里，最大直径为75厘米，里面装着一名成年女性和两名婴儿，其中至少有一名成年人是主要的埋葬对象。C14对在Hoa Diem收集的样本的分析表明，公元前1千年的上半叶应该是墓地之前人类占领的日期。

Hoa Diem, an Iron Age burial site located in Cam Ranh city, Khanh Hoa province in central Vietnam, was excavated in January 2007 by a Vietnamese-Japanese collaborative team, aiming to obtain the archaeological evidences on the prehistoric interrelations beyond the South China Sea. Excavation Pit H1(6x8m) yielded fourteen jar burials and two extended burials. Two Chinese Han Wuzhu coins associated with human bones inside a burial jar labeled M6 suggest that the cemetery of Hoa Diem most likely dates from the 1st and the 2nd century AD. The post-excavation work made by the team in 2008 has proved that burial jars and lids of Hoa Diem are quite different from those of the Sa Huynh Culture spread in central Vietnam, whereas the mortuary accessory pottery shows the striking similarity to the pottery found at the Kalanay Cave in the central Philippines. Thus the re-examination of the Sa-Huynh-Kalanay Pottery Tradition proposed by Solheim in the 1960s has become necessary. Hoa Diem also may relate to the so-called Austronesian hypothesis claiming that the Austronesian speakers arrived on the east coasts of Vietnam from either the Philippines or Borneo at some time in 1500-500BC. Dental morphology of the Hoa Diem skeletons shows close affinity with Philippine Negrito groups, also confirming human migration beyond the South China Sea. The outstanding mortuary practice at Hoa Diem is that some burial jars contained multiple bodies. In a globular jar labeled M8 with a maximum body diameter of 75cm contained one adult female and two infants, among them at least the adult was the primary burial. C14 analysis of the samples collected at Hoa Diem indicates the first half of the 1st millennium BC, which should be the date of the human occupation preceding the cemetery.
