Abstract

In this article, I shall introduce some core ideas from my research on the character of photographic representations published in archaeological journals during the mid-twentieth century. The aim of this study is to show the connection between the employment of certain scientific visual aesthetics in site photography at a time when the discipline of archaeology wanted to be seen as more scientific. Using the rod scale as a key visual metaphor for the identity of the discipline, I will argue that the increasing presence of the rod scale in published site photographs played a key part in the development of a specific scientific visual vocabulary which was driven by the contemporary culture-historical context.

考古遗址摄影中科学美学的发展

在本文中，我将介绍我对20世纪中期发表在考古期刊上的摄影表现特征的研究中的一些核心观点。本研究的目的是展示在考古学科希望被视为更科学的时候，在现场摄影中使用某些科学视觉美学之间的联系。使用杆状尺度作为该学科身份的关键视觉隐喻，我将论证在出版的现场照片中越来越多的杆状尺度在由当代文化历史背景驱动的特定科学视觉词汇的发展中发挥了关键作用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
