“考古是一扇窗，推開它，消失已久的風(fēng)景將會重現(xiàn)你我的面前。當(dāng)你看見窗外風(fēng)景的壯闊和斑斕，過去便不再陌生遙遠，有限的人生，仿佛也延長了千萬年。”北京大學(xué)考古文博學(xué)院教授徐天進在一次講座中深情地說道?？脊攀且婚T科學(xué)，不斷地出新知，不斷地促人求索。因為她，我們目睹了古代居民的奢華或樸實；因為她，我們將中華文明的歷史推至五千年；因為她，我們解決了一個又一個歷史的懸疑問題。

1921年，以河南澠池仰韶村遺址發(fā)掘為開端，現(xiàn)代考古學(xué)在中國應(yīng)運而生。近百年來，幾代考古學(xué)者在中華大地上孜孜以求、薪火相傳，建立起中國考古學(xué)體系，完全重建了中國史前史。1930年，考古工作者發(fā)掘城子崖遺址，揭開了山東現(xiàn)代考古學(xué)的序幕。自此，作為中國考古的重要組成部分，山東考古學(xué)進入了以田野發(fā)掘為基礎(chǔ)的科學(xué)、規(guī)范階段。山東考古人以手鏟當(dāng)筆，從山區(qū)到海濱，從城市到曠野，踏遍山東的各個角落，發(fā)現(xiàn)后李文化、北辛文化、大汶口文化、龍山文化、岳石文化……山東乃至中國的歷史軸線隨之不斷被拉長，文明細(xì)節(jié)不斷被豐富，考古事業(yè)也不斷走向輝煌：發(fā)表中國第一部考古發(fā)掘報告，建立起中國最完整的新石器時代文化譜系，中華文明起源的脈絡(luò)也逐步清晰。

巍巍泰山，海陸相連；山川縱橫，沃野無邊。山東自古以來就是人類理想的家園，當(dāng)文明之火在周口店燃起之時，在山東的洞穴中，也初現(xiàn)了文明的曙光。千萬年來，那些過往早已成為滄海遺珠。在今日之土地，推開考古這扇窗，遙望古代歷史，追尋往日文明，必然是漫長而艱辛的過程。

回望這段百年歷程，雖坎坷曲折，卻仍躊躇滿懷。在中國考古學(xué)誕生百年之際，越來越多的年輕人加入考古隊伍中，更有越來越多高科技的應(yīng)用擴大了考古工作者對古代社會的觀察視野。在新生力量的加入和新技術(shù)的加持下，山東考古工作者對未來的考古工作充滿了信心，將繼續(xù)作出不懈奮斗。我們也相信，考古可以證史，更能續(xù)寫歷史，距今數(shù)千年乃至上萬年那個陌生遙遠的中國，會因為考古而與我們越來越近，讓我們更好地認(rèn)識源遠流長、博大精深的中華文明。

Archaeology is a science， which continues to produce new knowledge and urge people to explore. Because of it， we have witnessed the ancient inhabitants’ luxury and simplicity； because of it， we have deduced that the Chinese civilization have a history of five thousand years； because of it， we have solved numerous historical mysteries.

In 1921， starting with the excavation of the site of Yangshao Village， Mianchi， Henan， modern archaeology came into being in China. In 1930， archaeological workers excavated the Longshan Culture site of Chengzi Cliff， Shandong， lifting the curtain on modern archaeology of Shandong. Since then， as an important part of Chinese archaeology， the archaeology of Shandong entered a scientific and normative stage based on field excavation. Accordingly， Shandong and China’s historical timelines have continued to be lengthened， details of civilization have continued to be enriched， and archaeological undertaking has continued to move towards glory： China’s first archaeological excavation report has been published； China’s most complete pedigree of Neolithic culture has been established； the origin of Chinese civilization has been becoming clear.

At the centenary of Chinese archaeology， more and more young people have joined the archaeological team， and the application of more and more high technology has broadened archaeological workers’ horizons on ancient society. With the support of newly emerging forces and new technologies， Shandong’s archaeological workers will still work conscientiously， endeavor to explore and continue to discern the blueprint of ancient culture and society. We also believe that archaeology can prove and continue history. Due to archaeology， that strange and distant China thousands of years ago will be closer to us， and allow us to have a better understanding of the long-standing， extensive and profound Chinese civilization.
