Abstract: In this article, twenty ancient human skulls (9 male, 11 female) unearthed from the Spring and Autumn-Warring states period cemetery at the Jinggouzi site in Linxi county, Inner Mongolia, were studied. The morphological features of Jinggouzi group crania show that the racial type is closely related to the modern North Asiatic Mongoloids, and some physical characteristics of these skulls are closer to the ancient population in North China and the modern Mongol.

Key words: West cemetery of Jinggouzi site; Human skull; North Asiatic Mongoloids
