殷墟的发现与研究在中国考古学史上具有里程碑的作用。殷墟文化分期研究也走过了相当长的历程。经过学者们长期的研究及考古发掘的反复检讨,目前,学术界基本认可了殷墟文化一至四期的分期法。但同时,随着新的考古发掘资料的不断涌现,我们也认识到,殷墟文化分期问题仍有进一步研究的必要,特别是殷墟文化第一期。 The discovery and research of the Yin Ruins have a milestone in the history of Chinese archeology. Yinxu culture staging has come a long way. After long-term research by scholars and repeated review of archaeological excavations, at present, the academic community basically approved the staging method of one to four periods of Yin Ruin culture. However, at the same time, with the continuous emergence of new archaeological excavations, we also recognize that there is still a need for further study on the classification of the Yin Ruins, especially the first phase of Yin Ruin culture.
