解构与重建:历史类博物馆展陈中考古文物信息的跨学科解读

考古文物是我国历史类博物馆的核心展品,在其主要社会职能中扮演了举足轻重的角色.随着考古学阐释理念的不断发展和完善,以物证史法、情境展示法、关联阐释法等已被逐渐应用到博物馆展陈中.但以传统考古学为核心的阐释方法在公众传播过程中仍然存在着单一视角与多元需求的矛盾、学科思维与展陈逻辑的矛盾、学术规范与启发教育的矛盾.对于历史...     

Archaeological Intra-Site Recording with Photography

Abstract

Experimentation in overhead photography aimed at eliminating errors in measurement by conventional mapping techniques has resulted in the development of instruments having from one to several applications in intra-site mapping. A useful by-product of this research has been the achievement of superior panoramic views. Since altitude is a critical factor in achieving either of these objectives, this paper distinguishes the results to be gained by use of low, medium, and high altitude instruments. The paper concludes with some overall field considerations along with photo-laboratory suggestions especially directed toward producing a photographic montage of the site as a whole.

Archaeological Intelligence

The county of Norfolk is well known for its huge number of ruined and abandoned medieval churches. ‘St Mary's Chapel’ at Ashwellthorpe has not usually been, reckoned among these. Although local tradition always maintained that it was the parish church of the lost village of Ashwell, some architectural historians have been sceptical, suggesting that it is merely a post-medieval domestic building on which part of a church roof has been re-used. Renovation of the property has not only confirmed its ecclesiastical origin, but revealed that it is the chancel of a church later used as a chantry chapel, with a major refurbishment in the fifteenth century.     

Reconstructing aesthetics

This [effect of the discovery of the New World on Renaissance Europe] is among the most difficult problems which face us, and it is one to which I can see no clear answer. Some work has been done, and much more could be done, on the printing and translation of books relating to America in comparison with those on other parts of the globe. But unless we can find more about their readership, the printing statistics, however valuable in themselves, afford only a certain indicator of a highly complex phenomenon.     

良渚考古遗址

5000多年前,在杭州北部的余杭良渚镇,曾经活跃着一个拥有高度文明的史前人类社会。这个被称为“良渚文化”的史前文明以制作精美玉器和夯筑规模宏大古城著称。5000年后,昔日先民发达的物质和精神文明,在当代人手中厚积薄发,积淀着良渚文化最深邃的内涵。以良渚古城为核心的遗址公园,已被浩淼葱郁的果园所覆盖,枝叶间含苞待放的桃红梨白,与良渚古城墙的千年遗迹共存。     

大遗址保护与考古遗址公园建设

建设考古遗址公园,是新时期大遗址保护新模式,是建设和谐社会和中华民族共同精神家园的重要举措。建设考古遗址公园的根本目的是保护遗址、服务考古。考古遗址公园建设必须科学规划,严肃论证,循序渐进,稳妥扎实。考古学家应积极支持考古遗址公园建设。文物管理部门应对考古遗址公园建设热情支持,善加引导,健全规章,严格管理。     

Archaeological Visualization: Towards an Archaeological Information Science (AISc)

This paper reviews and evaluates the potential use of modern visualization techniques in archaeology. It suggests the need to apply and develop such techniques as a central part of any modern archaeological investigation. The use of these methods is associated with wider questions about data representations, in particular, their integration with archaeological theory and their role in facilitating analysis and shaping interpretation. Concern for these questions and with the overall potential that information systems provide to capture, represent, analyze, and model archaeological information suggests the need for a new interdisciplinary focus, Archaeological Information Science. For such a focus to prosper, archaeologists need to develop additional skills that go beyond mere technical ones. They need to become more active in the design and creation of future information archaeological systems. To this end, archaeologists are urged to view this task as a way to extend archaeology in new directions and to recognize that the digital representation and treatment of archaeological information can generate new forms of doing archaeology.
