关于明清陵墓研究中的考古学方法问题

On the Methodology of Archaeological Study of Ming-Qing Mausoleums

帝王陵墓是中国古代墓葬中的一个特殊门类,明清帝王陵墓研究应该纳入中国考古学研究范畴。明清陵墓研究材料的来源有别于前代,进而影响到具体研究方法带有一定的特殊性。从考古学立场出发,结合利用相关学科的分析方法,有助于推进明清陵墓乃至宋辽以后考古学一些具体问题研究的进一步深化。

Mausoleum archaeology is a special branch in the study of ancient mausoleums.In addition,the author advocates that Ming-Qing mausoleums should be effectively incorporated into the Chinese Archaeology.Given the uniqueness of Ming-Qing burials that distinguished them from precedent tombs,the former’s characteristics should be taken into consideration.In juxtaposing with an archaeological perspective and cross-disciplinary approach,it is possible to further strengthen the studies of specific issues related to not only Ming-Qing mausoleums but also earlier examples during the Song and Liao periods.
