ABSTRACT
The establishment of the systematic structure of modern archaeology as an academic discipline with field archaeology as its foundation took place within a short few decades from the last half of the nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. The major subjects and lessons to be studied in each of the three disciplines include the problems of periodization, characteristic identification, distribution, and regionalization, within their respective parameters. One direction is the division of the globe into several major regions of study; another is the interpenetration with other disciplines to generate new disciplines or new branches of learning, such as archaeozoology, archaeobotany, hydroarchaeology, and seismoarchaeology. The scale of field archaeological work is quite large, and the majority of the huge amount of data was obtained only in the last ten or twenty years. It is very important to strengthen this inadequacy in the area of teaching of archaeology and especially in the area of field practice.
