Abstract: In this article, fourteen ancient human s ulls ( 11 male, 3 female) unearthed from the Warring states period cemetery at the Jiangjungou site in Helingeper county, Inner Mongolian were studied. The morphological features of Jiangjungou crania show that the racial type is closely related to the modern East Asiatic Mongoloids, but some physical characteristics of these skulls are closer to those in the ancient Central Plain Region nationality population and the modern Huabei population.

Key words: Helingeper county; Jiangjungou cemetery; Human skull; East Asiatic Mongoloids
