摘　　要：如何衡量考古学的发展是一个重要理论问题,关系到学科的发展方向与发展策略。回顾现代考古学的发展历程,可以发现不同学术体系、不同时期,甚至不同分支领域的衡量标准不尽相同。但学术发展具有累积性,考古学有其基本的任务,由此构成衡量考古学发展的四个标准。以这四个标准来衡量中国考古学的发展以及代表其最高水平的中华文明探源研究,从中可以看出,中国考古学存在“断层式的发展”现象,部分领域发展迅速,理论是短板。具体就中华文明探源研究而言,建议采取一些切实的措施,促进研究的发展,为中国考古学的总体发展示范。It is an important theoretical question about how to measure the development of archaeology.It involves with the orientation and strategy of discipline development.Introspecting the history of modern archaeology,it can be found that the criteria are not same in different academic systems,periods and sub-fields.However,academic development is accumulative,and archaeology has its own fundamental task.It thus forms four criteria for measuring the development of archaeology.Using these criteria to measure the development of Chinese archaeology,whose academic level can be represented by the work in exploration of Chinese civilization,it can be found that there exists a phenomenon called as“faulted development”,in which part of fields develop quickly,but theory is the short board.As far as exploration of Chinese civilization is concerned,a few measures can be adopted to promote the research on it,and set a successful example for other parts of Chinese archaeology.
