中国文明起源研究的鸿篇力作——读《牛河梁——红山文化遗址发掘报告(1983～2003年度)》

A Masterpiece of the Research on the Origin of Chinese Civilization-the Review of Niuheliang:Excavation Report on a Hongshan Culture Site(1983-2003)

学术界翘首以盼的牛河梁遗址群发掘报告于2012年正式出版发行。当年12月中旬在沈阳召开的“红山文化学术研讨会”上，拿到沉甸甸的三大本《牛河梁——红山文化遗址发掘报告（1983～2003年度）》（下文简称《牛河梁》）之后，许多人连夜翻阅，先睹牛河梁遗址群的全面发掘成果为快。

The Niuheliang： Excavation Report on a Hongshan Culture Site （1983-2003） consisting of three volumes compiled by Liaoning Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology published accurate and precise data in logical and coherent contents, terse and explicit texts, comprehensive and substantial charts, evenly arranged and properly drawn illustrations and clearly and finely printed plates. The publication of the excavation report of Niuheliang Site will undoubtedly play a positive role in the large-scale developing research on the origins of the Chinese Civilization. Meanwhile, it will have a good demonstration effect for the compiling and publishing of the excavation reports in the future.
