二十一世纪考古学将在许多方面取得令人欣喜的成绩。其中鲜可比拟的是关于狩猎—采集经济和农业起源方面的。我们将看到,最后一次冰期间的人类及其嫡系子孙更具现代性了。这主要表现为竞争加剧;社会组织的变革分化;饥饿、灾害、暴力的威胁等等超出我们预想的更多更普遍的类似于我们现今所面临的诸多问题。农业发生的广泛性亦不囿于我们的原先思考,一万年前,亚洲、欧洲、非洲的大部分地区,动植物被普遍驯化。另一些现行的观念亦将被淘汰。
The archeology of the twenty-first century will make gratifying achievements in many ways. What is freshly matched is hunting - the economy of harvest and the origin of agriculture. We will see that humans and their descendants during the last ice period are more modern. This is mainly manifested in the intensified competition; the change and differentiation of social organizations; the more common and more common problems we are facing than the ones we have been thinking of, hunger, disasters, the threat of violence, and so on. The breadth of agriculture does not follow our original thinking. Ten thousand years ago, animals and plants were widely domesticated in most parts of Asia, Europe and Africa. Other current concepts will also be eliminated.
