渤海早期都城遗址的考古学探索

An Archaeological Research on the Capital Site of Early Bohai

渤海早期都城的位置及形制,一直是个没能揭开的历史之谜。经历了一个多世纪的实地调查及史地考证研究,学术界将注意力集中在吉林省敦化市的三处古代遗址上,并逐渐形成了几种为多数研究者所接受的观点。由于目前还没有能够从考古学上认清渤海早期文化的面貌,被考证为渤海早期都城的三处遗址也未得到考古发掘的验证,因此现有观点不断受到挑战。通过考古发掘我们认定,其中的两处遗址并非为渤海时期的遗存。这一考古成果,为今后的相关研究从思路和方法上提出了新的思考。

The location and plan of the early Bohai capital is always a mystery. After more than one century's onthespot investigations and historical & geographical studies, scholars now focuses their attention on three ancient sites that located in Dunhua, Jilin Province,and put forwards several views that are accepted by most of the scholars. However, such contemporary views are under continuous critics, because the archaeological characteristics of early Boahai culture are obscure and the three sites mentioned above have not tested by excavation. We now maintain through excavation that two of three sites are not belong to Bohai. This archaeological achievement offers an new clue for later relative studies in both ways of thinking and methods.
