一、现阶段是发展中国考古学的黄金时代中国考古学起步比较晚,比欧洲晚了八九十年。从上世纪20年代到现在不过八十多年,中间又有抗日战争、解放战争和文化大革命时期的停顿与破坏。在剩下的六十多年中,经过了起步、奠基到初步发展,现在则进人了全面大发展的时期。史前考古的体系已经初步建立起来,历史时期的考古也有许多重大发现和研究成果。现在任何一部中国通史或中国古代史的著作,都不能不大量引用考古学研究的成果。这些成果是得来不易的,其中凝结着几代考古人的辛劳与智慧,是值得我们珍惜和自豪的。另一方面,如果与发展比较成熟的西方考古学相比,中国考古学的理论明显不成 First, at this stage is the golden age of the development of Chinese archeology Chinese archeology started relatively late, eighty or ten years later than Europe. From the 1920s to the present more than eighty years, there were the pause and destruction during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation and the Cultural Revolution. In the remaining sixty years, we have started out and laid the foundation stone for initial development. Now we have entered a period of all-round development. The system of prehistoric archeology has been initially established. There are also many major discoveries and research results in the archeology of the historical period. Now any one of the general history of China or the ancient Chinese history, can not fail to make a lot of reference to the results of archaeological research. These achievements are hard won, and it is worth our cherishing and pride to condense the hard work and wisdom of generations of archeologists. On the other hand, if compared with the more developed Western archeology, the theory of Chinese archeology is obviously not
