有时写在纸上,有时在霍尔斯里。考古学家努力严格理性和有条不紊地工作,他们真实的专长往往在于最有效地利用资源的能力。那些在大多数(学术和编辑)委员会中占主导地位的考古学家(其中绝大多数是男性)成为该学科的英雄,偶尔也会成为英国学院的大师。因此,考虑到棋盘游戏巨石阵和考古学之间惊人的相关性,问题就出现了,如果我们都决定玩这个游戏,而不是写和阅读更多的论文和评论,会有什么不同。也许这就是《华尔街日报》的作者和读者最渴望或应得的。尽管如此,我还是希望能激发考古学家对历史文化现象的兴趣。我认为,作为考古学家,无论考古、史前史、历史发生在我们社会的什么地方,我们都应该关注,时时回顾。学术考古学是历史文化的另一个例子,但我不时想到,在很大程度上,它可能不是最令人兴奋的一个。
sometimes on paper and sometimes in lec~ ture halls. Archaeologists try to work strictly rationally and methodically, their real expertise often lying in the ability to use resOUrCeSmost efficiently. Those archaeologists who dominate most (academic and editorial) boards a great majority of them being male become the heroes of the discipline and, occasionally, Masters indeed, if only of English Colleges. Therefore, given these amazing correlations between the board game Stonehenge and the discipline of archaeology, thequestion arises what the difference would be if we all decided to play this game instead of writing and reading more papers and reviews. Perhaps that would be what the authors and readers of this Journal desire most of all anyway or deserve. Be that as it may, I hope to have stimulated some interest among archaeologists in a phenomenon of Geschichtskultur. I believe that as archaeologists we should pay attention to, and review from time to time, wherever archaeology, prehistory, and history occur in our society. Academic archaeology is another example for Geschichtskultur, but it occurs to me from time to time that in large part it is perhaps not the most exciting one.
