上海考古新纪元:1948年金山戚家墩遗址发掘

Shanghai’s Archaeological New Era:The Excavation of Qijiadun Cultural Site in 1948 Jinshan

1935年,发现金山戚家墩文化遗址,它是上海地区最早发现的古文化遗址。因日军侵华战争爆发,上海博物馆原定发掘计划被迫中断。复馆后的上海博物馆,1947年底制订发掘计划,在政府经费支持下,于1948年对戚家墩遗址进行了为期三个月的发掘工作。这是上海境内第一次现代田野考古发掘。尽管当时对戚家墩遗址的年代与文化判断都存在一定偏差,但却奠定了以后进一步发掘的基础,这在上海现代考古史上是具有开辟新纪元的历史意义。
