一.前言在过去的五十多年中,很多考古学家都已经指出了南中国与东南亚具有某些共同的文化传统。但直至最近三十年来,系统的考古发掘方在这两个区域展开。遗憾的是,到现在为止,中国学者与西方的文化交流始终存在着局限性,因为西方学者能够直接阅读中文的并不多,而中国学者在获取西方资料方面也存在困难。为此,对于这两个区域之间在史前文化的发展中存在的共同点和相异点的了解,实际上是非常少的。 I. Preface In the past fifty years or so many archeologists have pointed out that some common cultural traditions exist between South China and Southeast Asia. However, until the last three decades, systematic archeological excavations have been carried out in both regions. Unfortunately, until now, there has always been a limit to the cultural exchange between Chinese scholars and the West because Western scholars can read Chinese directly, while Chinese scholars have difficulty obtaining Western materials. For this reason, there is actually very little understanding of the commonalities and differences between the two regions in the development of prehistoric cultures.
