Abstract

Magdalene von Dewall was the only anthropologically oriented specialist in East and Southeast Asian archaeology in Germany in her generation. Her scholarly work on chariots, Dian bronzes, funerary archaeology, and other topics, was often far ahead of its time when published, and it remains worth reading. This article attempts to recount Magdalene von Dewall's biography and intellectual lineage and to characterize her scholarly contributions. It also describes how, largely thanks to Magdalene von Dewall's assiduous efforts, her field of study has gradually gained a certain measure of academic recognition in Germany during recent years.

提要

德麥玲女士是二十世紀後期德國唯一一位採取人類學觀點和方法的東亞及東南亞考古學專家。她的學術著作論及中國商周時期的車馬、滇文化的青銅器、古代葬俗研究等題目,它們在很多方面十分前進,仍值得仔細閱讀。本文試圖敘述德麥玲女士的傳記及她所屬的師生體系,並評估她的學術貢獻。 近幾年來,東亞及東南亞考古這個領域在德國學術界終於得到了一定的承認。這件現象在很大程度上是由於德麥玲女士一生的大努力而發生的。
