一、前言2005年国家文物局向全社会征集“中国旧石器时代遗址的现状与保护对策”的课题研究,旧石器遗址作为单独一个类型的遗址成为关注的焦点。目前还没有见到专门的研究发表,本文的宗旨是希望从旧石器考古研究者的角度来讨论这个问题。探讨考古遗址的保护不能脱离考古学家,不仅因为考古遗址是考古学家研究的主要对象,更因为只有考古学家才能对考古遗址的学术价值评估提供科学的依据。 I. Introduction In 2005, the State Cultural Relics Bureau solicited from the whole society “the status quo and protection measures of the Chinese Paleolithic sites ” research, Paleolithic sites as a single type of site to become the focus of attention. No special research has yet been published, and the purpose of this article is to hopefully discuss this issue from the perspective of Paleolithic archaeologists. The protection of archeological sites can not be separated from archeologists, not only because archeological sites are the main target of archaeologists’ research, but also because only archaeologists can provide a scientific basis for assessing the academic value of archeological sites.
