What is the meaning of archaeological culture and its naming rules?

Mr. Xia Nai said that in the field of prehistoric archaeology, mainly Neolithic archaeology, the study of archaeological culture is an indispensable work. When studying archaeological culture, we must pay attention to the relationship between various relics and between relics. For example, through a large number of investigations and excavations, it is found that certain types of pottery, stone tools, bone implements and decorations are often unearthed from certain types of tombs or residential sites at the same time, which confirms the * * * relationship between them. This * * * relationship is the * * relationship between pottery and pottery, and it is also the * * relationship between pottery and stone tools, bone utensils and decorations, too. This * * * relationship constitutes the "culture" in prehistoric archaeology, which is the so-called "archaeological culture".

The investigation and excavation work show that "archaeological culture" is the unity of relics and remains that represent the same era, concentrate in a certain area and have certain local characteristics.

In other words, an archaeological culture can be named as the * * * isomorphism of the relics and relics that represent the same era, concentrate in a certain area and have certain local characteristics. In a word, archaeological culture must have distinct temporal and spatial characteristics.

In order to distinguish the archaeological remains in different stages of development in an area, archaeologists use the place where the remains in different stages of development were first discovered as the name of each stage. Later, in order to further distinguish archaeological remains in the same area with different times and similar times but different connotations, the concept of "archaeological culture" came into being, and the place names used to be the names of stages naturally became the names of archaeological culture.
