摘要
旧石器时代考古研究在整个考古学研究体系中特色鲜明。一方面,其研究时段久远,需要更多考虑地质、地貌和环境等自然作用;另一方面,旧石器文化的发展与古人类体质演化息息相关,需要综合考虑古人类体质与文化的双重因素。这些特殊性促使旧石器考古研究具有更强的跨学科特点,也因此产生了多元化研究导向及相应的考古学问题。本文简要概括和论述当前旧石器时代考古研究存在的四个交叉研究导向,即地球科学导向、历史学导向、人类学导向及认知科学导向。它们之间在研究手段与方法上有所区别,研究问题上也各有侧重,但四个导向之间深刻交织与融合,形成环环相扣、互相促进的正反馈系统和有机整体,并最终构成中国旧石器时代考古研究多元一体的新格局。
Paleolithic archaeology has its unique characteristics in the whole system of archaeology.On one hand,when considering the antiquity of Paleolithic sites,which date from ca.2.6 Ma to 10,000 years ago,it is vital to investigate the infuence of both environmental and natural geological process;on the other hand,when investigating the actual objects themselves(e.g.,lithics),and considering their involvement within the context of a continual evolutionary process,both biological and cultural factors need comprehensive consideration.Given the unique interplay between these different aspects,Paleolithic research in multidisciplinary and it considers a broad range of research topics.To some extent,four key research themes are distinguishable due to differences in research methods,techniques and research questions.The four current research directions include earth science,history,anthropology and cognitive science.By adopting the concepts of interweaving and merging,this paper willillustrate that these four themes are not isolated from each other.Instead,they are all deeply interwound and when considered together,they create a mutually linked positive feedback system that forms the basis for a structure of pluralistic integration in Paleolithic research.
