How to learn archaeology? What is the basis? Is it difficult?

Archaeology is a relatively comprehensive discipline, which belongs to the field of humanities and is an important part of historical science. Its task is to restore all aspects of ancient human social history according to the physical objects left by ancient humans through various activities. Physical materials include all kinds of relics and relics, most of which are buried underground. Only through scientific investigation and excavation can they be systematically and completely revealed and collected. Therefore, the basis of archaeological research lies in field investigation and excavation. Its general learning direction is "suspecting the ancient ~ archaeology ~ interpreting the ancient". 1。 The object of archaeological research is physical objects. Mainly material remains, or relics and relics. These relics should be left over from ancient human activities. Archaeology can be divided into prehistoric archaeology, historical archaeology, field archaeology and various thematic archaeology according to the different age range, specific objects and means and methods used. If you study archaeology in China, you must know its development history.

3. On the basis of the above, study the methods and purposes of archaeology step by step. Besides, you have to study some other subjects, such as stratigraphy, biotypes, physical geography, human geography and physical anthropology.

4. The major of archaeology in the university mainly includes the following subjects: general theory of archaeology, introduction to archaeology, introduction to cultural relics, physical anthropology, historical geography of China (optional), ancient Chinese, archaeological science and technology, field archaeology and ancient history of China. History of ancient and medieval world.

Classification archaeology of dynasties: Paleolithic archaeology, Neolithic archaeology, Qin and Han archaeology, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties archaeology, Sui and Tang dynasties archaeology, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties archaeology.

5. The books that can be read are: A General Introduction to Archaeology in China by Zhang Zhiheng and Eighteen Lectures on Archaeology by Zhang Hongyan, both of which are the most basic archaeological materials.

In addition, science students want to study archaeology. My suggestion is that you should apply for the major of cultural relics restoration and protection. At present, only Peking University and Northwest University rank high in professional strength. As far as national enrollment is concerned, there are many colleges and universities that recruit students majoring in archaeology at present, but I think there are two colleges and universities with the largest enrollment, one is Peking University, with about 45 students enrolled, and the other is Northwest University. Northwest University has set up a new major of cultural heritage management on the basis of archaeology, so the number of students enrolled has greatly increased to 55, and there are also many students from other provinces. You can consider applying for this major. Generally speaking, as long as your score is more than 20 points higher than a line ~ Of course, Jilin University, Sun Yat-sen University and Nanjing University are all good. I applied for Jilin University, and I know that the proportion and probability of recruiting students from other provinces in that school are still relatively small ~
