大接觸時代的東亞與東南亞：1500年以降的亞洲考古
East and Southeast Asia at The Age of Contact
摘要
本文將東亞、東南亞海域與近代以來殖民活動相關的考古學研究做一整合性回顧，針對三大研究主題—港市考古、殖民社群考古、原住民社群考古—進行討論。港市考古的研究為瞭解各港市在殖民活動前後的發展提供了新的證據與討論空間，相關研究對於陶瓷器的鑽研與窯址的研究相輔相承，其成果與歷史文獻中的白銀、絲綢貿易可進一步對話。殖民社群的考古學中，針對唐人與日本人在歐洲殖民地的活動的研究破除了我們對於歐洲殖民地的單一想像，台灣的研究更將亞洲殖民者帶入討論範疇。最後，原住民社群的考古引領我們看到大時代下各原住民族多元的能動性，無論其是否被殖民者直接控制。藉由這些討論，筆者強調歷史考古學對於了解東亞、東南亞海域近代以來發展的潛力。

This paper reviews archaeological studies about colonial activities in early modern maritime East and Southeast Asia, focusing on three research themes: port cities, colonial settler communities, and indigenous communities. The archaeology of port cities provides new evidence for discussing the development of each port city before and after colonization. The focus on ceramics in this type of research complements the studies of kiln sites; the results also create a dialogue with the silver and silk trade in historical accounts. Among the study of colonial settler communities, the research of the activities of the Chinese and Japanese settlers in European colonies breaks our general impressions of European colonies; the case from Taiwan further brings Asian colonists into the discussion. Finally, the archaeology of indigenous communities leads us to see the diverse agencies of the natives, whether the colonists directly controlled them or not. Through these discussions, the authors emphasize that historical archaeology has excellent potential for understanding the development of East and Southeast Asian waters since the early modern period.
