摘要

本篇論文討論東部地區新石器時代晚期以巨石結構著稱的麒麟文化，主要援引前人的研究成果以及筆者近年來的調查資料與分析結果，提出有關麒麟文化幾個主要課題的分析與討論，包括麒麟文化的陶器內涵、麒麟文化的年代、麒麟文化的定位，並且說明未來的研究方向。
初步透過對於麒麟文化內涵的討論，提出麒麟文化所屬的二種陶類，從碳十四及陶器熱釋光定年，認爲麒麟文化的年代在3400-2300B.P.之間，並從生業方式、陶業以及宗教儀式等特性，認爲麒麟文化的內涵仍宜單獨命名爲一個史前文化，並非卑南文化的一個地方性類型，同時從陶器分析指出麒麟文化與卑南文化可能有不同的來源，二者之間的相似部分，當爲較晚階段接觸互動以及卑南文化勢力向北擴張的結果。

This article deals with the Chi-lin culture, a late Neolithic megalithic culture distributing in the eastern part of Taiwan. Basing primarily on the previous researches and recent collected data conducted by the author, analyses and discussions on several key subjects are provided. In addition to the discussion of ceramic composition, dating, and the identity, the author also provides directions for future research on the Chi-lin culture.
According to the preliminary analysis on cultural repertoire, the author argues the existence of two types of ceramic in the Chi-lin culture. Conventional C14 dating and TL dating on ceramic place the Chi-lin culture at about 3,400-2,300 BP. Chi-lin culture as a culture and not a local phase of Pei-nan culture is explicit from the traits such as subsistence, ceramic industry, as well as religious ceremony. The similarity between Chi-lin and Pei-nan cultures results from the interaction following the northward expansion of the Pei-nan culture in the later period.
