Abstract
Contemporary Chinese archaeology is an amalgam resulting from three phases of historical development of the discipline: the growth of traditional antiquarianism since 1092, the introduction of Western field archaeology since 1920, and the new prosperity under Socialist management since 1949. In this essay, the principal characteristics of each of these phases of development are discussed with a view to understanding the principal characteristics of Chinese archaeology of the 1980s.Keywords
