A cache of shoots, leaves and fruits dated by (14)C at 2500 years B.P. were unearthed in the Yanghai Tombs, Turpan District in Xinjiang, China. By comparing the morphological and anatomical characteristics of the plant remains found in the tomb and specimens of modern plants, it is shown that the remains belong to Cannabis. Based on the shamanistic background of the deceased man and ancient customs, it is assumed that the Cannabis was utilized for ritual/medicinal purposes.
在中国新疆吐鲁番地区的洋海古墓中出土了一批经碳-14测定年代为公元前2500年的嫩枝、树叶和果实。通过比较古墓中发现的植物残骸与现代植物标本的形态和解剖特征,发现这些残骸属于大麻。基于死者的萨满教背景和古代习俗,推测这些大麻被用于仪式/药用目的。
