摘　　要：考古学教育关系到学科的未来。然而这一重要议题长期未获得应有之关注。美国在当今考古领域所具有的优势地位与其考古学教育密切相关。本文聚焦中、美本科阶段的考古学教育,通过数据分析等方式,讨论两国高校课程设置的差异。分析发现,两国考古学教育在课程数量、专业必修与选修课程、课程分类方式以及同质化程度等方面,都存在较大差异。为培养出更符合未来发展趋势的考古人才,本文认为我国的考古教育应扩宽课程、降低专业课比重,根据学校优势开设不同课程,建立指导制度,增加讨论课并强调阅读,还应加强学生理论、外国考古、统计学和计算机科学、道德规范等方面的训练。Archaeological education is critical to the development of the discipline. In spite of its significance,the academic community did not pay enough attention to this issue. The dominance of American archaeology in the world is closely related to its educational program. This article would like to review and compare undergraduate archaeology education between China and the US, discussing the main differences in curricula arrangements which cover number, requirement, division and selection of courses and degree of homogeneity.It is advocated that in order to train qualified archaeologists for future, the proportion of major courses should be reduced. Diversified courses could be offered on the basis of expertise of faculty members. We should draw on advising system, seminar courses, classical reading which are very common in the education in American universities. The courses of archaeological theory and method, archaeology of foreign countries, professional ethics, statistics and computer science should be strengthened.
