环境考古学刍议

DISCUSS ON ENVIRONMENTAL ARCHAEOLOGY

人类文化和自然界相互依存,决定了只有结合古环境来研究古文化,才能认识古文化,才能认识人类迁徙的真正原因。环境考古学主要研究古文化及其与自然环境、社会环境间的关系。我国历史和自然环境条件优越,只要我们抓住考古学和环境科学向新阶段迈进的契机,我国环境考古学必将迅速发展,并一定会在认识古人类历史、行为和生活方式方面发挥更重要的作用。

The interdependent relationship between the culture and nature confines the culture research only in combination with the study of its circumstances,so we can realize the ancient culture and the real factors for human migrations. The environmental archaeology is mainly to study the relationship between the culture and its circumstances, as well as the social environments. The good conditions of history and natural environments in China must make our environmental archaeology develop rapidly and it must be take more important role in recognitions of old human history, actions and patterns of life, if we seize the opportunity of the archaeology and environmental science forwarding a new stage.
