中外地震考古学的比较研究

Comparing research on Sino-foreign earthquake archaeology

由于考古学能在历史地震的研究中做出独到贡献,地震考古学得以应运而生。中国的地震考古工作发轫于上世纪50年代,而作为一门学科,则在上世纪70年代才真正出现。国外地震考古学的实践可追溯到十九世纪,20世纪50年代,地震考古学成为一门独立的学科。国外地震考古的野外调查、发掘程序较规范,理论研究亦较深入。对国内外地震考古学进行初步比较研究看出,国内地震考古学比国外起步晚,但发展较迅速。国内地震考古学在跨学科合作上不够充分,理论方法的研究不够深入。但国内的历史文献丰富,文物古迹数量庞大,因此我国的地震考古学前景是光明的。我们应当在人才培养、国际合作、多学科合作以及重视现代地震遗存方面做出努力。

The result of historical earthquake research in archaeology can make unique contributions to seismic ar- chaeology. China earthquake archaeological work, as a discipline, began in the 20 century 50＇s. Overseas earth- quake archaeological practice can be traced back to 1950. Seismic archaeology has become an independent disci- pline. Foreign archaeological field survey, earthquake explore program are more normative and the theory research work is done deeply. At home and abroad the seismic archaeology conducted preliminary comparative study. The domestic seismic archaeology starts later than abroad. But the domestic development of seismic archaeological re- search is rapid. The cooperation of the domestic seismic archaeology in interdisciplinary is not full. The theories and methods of the research are not very thorough. But with the domestic rich historical literature and a large num- ber of cultural relics, the seismic archaeology prospects in China are bright. We should pay attention to the follow- ing works such as personnel training, international cooperation, and multiple disciplinary operations. We should recognize the importance of the modem earthquake relic researches.
