考? 古?

Archaeology?

每一个学科能够独立于学科之林都有其存在的理由。学科的意义从某种意义上说或许是一个空泛的概念,但它会作为一个疑问随着学习的深入会轮回地出现。因此,本文试图从考古学与人类学及历史学的关系入手,追溯三门学科的历史并进行简要对比,从而对考古学的现实意义(特别是由"关系"而产生的各种意义)获得某一层面的认识。并希望通过这样的思考,而更加清醒地认识考古学的研究对象和研究方法。

Every subject has its own reason to exist, and its existence must base on some need. From some point of view, the meaning of the subject maybe an inane concept, but it will be a problem appeared in cycle companioned with the development of the study. This article try to discuss the relationship between archaeology, anthropology and history, compare the histories of the three subjects, to understand the meaning of Archaeology in some level （especially the meaning contained in all kinds of the ＂relationships＂ ）. And I hope to know the objects and methods of archaeology research more clearly through this kind of consideration.
