2010年夏,周南教授前往辽宁省喀左县进行田野考古调查 ,途经北京作短暂停留 ,遂带领研究生李冬冬和丁山(James Williams)前往北京大学拜会李水城教授。交谈之间,李水城希望周南教授能拨冗谈谈自己的治学经历、学术成长道路以及对于考古学、特别是中国考古学的某些看法。周南教授对此欣然表示接受。此后,我们委托匹茨堡大学人类学系的博士研究生李冬冬、丁山二人对周南教授进行了采访。其中,丁山负责英文部分,李冬冬负责中文部分。 In the summer of 2010, Professor Zhou Nan traveled to Kazuo County, Liaoning Province for field archeological investigation. After a brief stopover in Beijing, he led graduate students Li Dongdong and James Williams to Peking University to meet Professor Li Shui-Cheng. During the conversation, Li Shui-cheng hopes Prof. Zhou Nan will be able to talk about his own experience in school, the path to academic growth, and his views on archeology, especially Chinese archeology. Professor Zhou Nan is pleased to accept this. Since then, we have commissioned Professor Tian Dongdong and Ding Shan, Ph.D. candidates from the Anthropology Department of Pittsburgh to interview Professor Zhou Nan. Among them, Ding Shan is in charge of the English part and Li Dong Dong is in charge of the Chinese part.
