本課程偏重人類學中的「考古學」研究，期中考前以介紹考古學的知識背景為主，之後的區域研究是以台灣史前史為主的研究成果，介紹台灣的考古學發展，以及以台灣及其周邊為專題領域等方面。
一般將台灣考古學的開始定為1896年，早期多為探險式的遺址發現調查，後期才見機關團體進行系統性的調查與研究，在日本學者主導約五十年的時間奠定了台灣考古學的基礎。到1950年代前後，大陸中國學者來台，帶來中國考古學的歷史研究方法，確立了台灣考古學的文化史研究方向。1970年代以來，留學生陸續引進西方的新知識，讓今日的台灣考古學更加多元。
台灣史前史始於更新世晚期的舊石器時代，當時人類藉由冰河時期的陸橋從東亞大陸步行進入台灣島。到了六千年前又有大量的南島移民帶來新的技術與生活方式，此新石器時代在台灣各地深入適應與發展，形成特有的文化面貌。到了兩千年前，鐵器的出現取代了長久以來的石器，導致生活方式的劇烈改變。鐵器時代也是與外界大量進行物資交換的時代，從這個接觸過程中，台灣原住民學得了新知識與新技術。到了十七世紀則是由貿易帶來文化的接觸與影響。雖然地處海島，但是史前以來的台灣便不斷地透過各種方式吸收外來要素，並融合於多樣的本島文化之中。
此外，史前台灣和其周邊地區有著緊密的關係，認識我們周邊地區的發展亦是暸解台灣的重要管道，因此於課程最後亦將安排若干相關區域的考古介紹。
無論從學史角度或台灣史前發展脈絡來看，台灣考古學皆有其獨特性質，此為台灣考古研究須把握的基礎。
本課程兼具「考古學」導論與「台灣研究學程」等兩項目標，具體而言，主要期待在讓同學藉此深入考古學以及台灣之考古學研究概況。
This course focuses on the research on "archaeology" in humans. Before the midterm exam, it mainly introduces the intellectual background of archaeology. The subsequent regional research is a research result based on Taiwan's prehistoric history, introducing the development of archaeology in Taiwan, and Taiwan and its surrounding areas are special areas and other aspects.
Generally, the beginning of Taiwan archaeology was set as 1896. In the early days, most of the investigations were conducted for investigations, and in the later period, the mechanisms conducted systematic investigations and research, which laid the foundation for Taiwan archaeology in the time when Japanese scholars were led by about 50 years. The foundation of By around the 1950s, Chinese scholars from mainland China came to Taiwan, bringing Chinese archaeology historical research methods, and establishing the cultural history research direction of Taiwan archaeology. Since the 1970s, international students have continuously introduced new knowledge from the West, making today's Taiwanese archaeology more diverse.
Taiwan’s prehistoric history began in the Old Stone Age in the late Pleistocene, when humans walked into Taiwan from Mainland East Asia through the ice age bridge. Six thousand years ago, a large number of South Island immigrants brought new technologies and lifestyles. This Neolithic era was deeply adapted and developed in various parts of Taiwan, forming a unique cultural outlook. Two thousand years ago, the emergence of iron tools replaced the long-standing stone tools, resulting in dramatic changes in lifestyles. The era of ironware is also an era of large-scale exchange of material resources with the outside world. From this contact process, the indigenous people of Taiwan have learned new knowledge and new technologies. By the seventeenth century, it was the contact and influence of culture brought by trade. Although it is located in the sea island, Taiwan has continuously absorbed external factors through various methods and integrated into a variety of island cultures.
In addition, Taiwan has close relationships with its surrounding areas. Knowing the development of our surrounding areas is also an important channel for understanding Taiwan. Therefore, archaeological introductions of several related areas will be arranged at the end of the course.
Whether from a historical perspective or Taiwan’s prehistoric development perspective, Taiwan’s archaeology has its own unique characteristics, which is the basis for Taiwan’s archaeological research.
This course has two objectives, including "Archaeology" discussion and "Taiwan Research Course". Specifically, we mainly look forward to allowing students to use this to in-depth archaeology and the overview of archaeology research in Taiwan.
