我国考古地球物理学的发展

DEVELOPMENT OF ARCHAEOGEOPHYSICS IN CHINA

考古地球物理学是一门自然科学与社会科学交叉的边缘学科．从考古地球物理的社会需求及国外考古地球物理发展的状况出发，论述了我国考古地球物理学的发展历程和趋势．详细介绍了我国地球物理工作者结合长江三峡库区故陵楚墓的勘查，对考古地球物理的方法进行了大规模的试验研究，为解决楚故陵是否存在的问题提供了重要依据；也是一个以任务带学科发展的典型事例．

Archaeogeophysics is a marginal discipline between natural science and social science. This paper, starting from the social requirements for archaeogeophysics and the condition of the development of archaeogeophysics abroad, focuses the discussion on the history and tendency of archaeogeophysics development in our country, and gives an introduction in greater detail to the large - scale researches of our geophysicists on archaeogeophysical methods in conjuction with prospecting the Guting's tomb of Chu state in the area of Three - Gorges Reservoir. These works have not only provided important basis for solving the problem whether or not the Chu tomb exists, but also improved the development of archaeogeophysics in our country. It is a case in point for discipline development, improved by assignments.
