新砦期概念的提出[1]源自1979年新砦遗址的首次发掘[2],由此引发了学术界对新砦期问题的讨论,各方观点长期以来莫衷一是。1999年对新砦遗址的再次发掘[3]使得这一讨论更加深入;同样被定为新砦期的花地嘴遗址的发掘[4]进一步充实了相关研究的材料。目前,学术界争论的焦点主要集中在王湾三期文化、新砦期和二里头文化一期之间的关系问题上:有学者主张新砦期作为过渡期的观点[5], The concept of the new Zhai period [1] originated from the first excavation of the Xinzhai site in 1979 [2], which led to the academic discussion of the new Zhai period. The opinions of all parties have long been mixed. The re-excavation of the Xinzhai site in 1999 [3] made the discussion more in-depth; the excavation of the Huaduizui site, also designated as the new Zhai period [4], further substantiates the research. At present, the academic debate mainly focuses on the relationship between the three periods of culture of Wang Wan, the period of Xinzhai and the period of Erlitou Culture: some scholars advocate the view of Xinzhai as a transitional period [5]
