菲律宾史前考古研究概述

Overview of Prehistoric Archaeological Research in Philippines

菲律宾考古自西班牙殖民者到来开始,迄今已有近200年的历史,其史前考古研究的历史大致可以分为四个阶段。20世纪50年代前是考古奠基期,此时大批西方学者来到菲律宾,研究机构初步建立。50—70年代是史前考古发展期,此时国家博物馆在卡加延河谷发现了数量可观的史前遗址,并集中在该区域开展了一系列研究。80—90年代是史前考古转型期,新的考古学技术、理论和方法被学者广泛讨论并得到应用。21世纪以来,菲律宾史前考古步入了跨学科、多元化的发展阶段。

The Philippine Archaeological research began with the arrival of the Spanish colonists and has a history of nearly 200 years,which can be divided into four phases.The first one was before 1950 s when the archaeological research was founded by a number of western researchers and some research institutions were initially established.The second one was during 1950 s and 1970 s when the National Museum discovered a large number of prehistoric sites in the Cagayan Valley and carried out a series of research campaigns.The third one was from 1980 s to 1990 s when new archaeological techniques,theories and methods were extensively discussed and applied.The fourth one was from the beginning of 21 st century during which the prehistoric archaeology in the Philippines has seen an outstanding interdisciplinary and diversified development.
