文化的傳續與斷裂:試論南科考古遺址與西拉雅文化之間的關係

本研究乃透過「歷史文獻」、「民族誌」與「考古」三個面向進行討論，試圖尋找考古學與歷史學之間的關係，並重新建構西拉雅族群的社會文化與歷史發展。「文獻資料與民族誌」即是透過擷取文獻資料對於西拉雅的描述，進一步將文字的描述還原成當時的西拉雅文化面貌。「考古資料」則是藉由地底下出土的遺跡、遺物與生態遺留等資料，由「物」作為出發點來談西拉雅的文化形貌，形塑出考古資料的西拉雅文化。因此，本研究的主要將南科園區內與西拉雅文化相關的遺址之出土報告進行整理，釐清西拉雅文化的物質之內涵、類別與特徵，並與歷史文獻及民族誌資料中所呈現的西拉雅族之物質文化內涵進行比較，形成文字與考古資料的對話。最後，綜合文獻資料與考古資料所形成整體的西拉雅文化，由地下到地上、過去與現在的資料形塑出西拉雅文化核心與文化面貌。

The relationship between archeological artifacts and written documents has been drawn the academic attention in the recent years. And my thesis follows this tradition and aims to interpret the historical documents, the ethnographical data as well as the archeological reports in order to find the correlation between the prehistorical era and the historical period of a sinicized Siraya people. With historical and ethnographic documentation related to the Siraya people, I try to rebuild the understanding of Siraya's culture in the ancient time. With the archeological data, I try to use the material data found underground to rebuild a delineation of Siraya culture. Consequently, I compared the Sirayan culture of the historical as well as the prehistorical times. My research found that there exist many similarities and dissimilarities between the written data and the material data.. The similarities imply the continuities and the dissimilarities imply the discontinuities of the Sirayan culture. What factors or forces cause the continuities and the discontinuities of the Sirayan culture remains further research.
