The international and multidisciplinary Keban Dam Rescue Project, which took place between 1966 and 1975 in Eastern Turkey, brought scientists together to document and study the past of a landscape about to be submerged. The archaeological teams at Keban each constituted separate groups united around what they were to do in the field. This article examines the manner in which members of these archaeological ‘communities of practice’ learned how to undertake Turkey’s first salvage excavations. If such communities can form the basis for both archaeological knowledge and learning, they can also become the source of exclusionary practices, historical erasures and epistemic injustices.

边做边学：考古发掘作为“实践社区”

1966 年至 1975 年在土耳其东部开展的国际多学科 Keban 大坝救援项目将科学家聚集在一起，记录和研究即将被淹没的景观的过去。Keban 的考古团队各自组成了独立的小组，围绕他们在该领域的工作而联合起来。本文考察了这些考古“实践社区”的成员学习如何进行土耳其第一次打捞挖掘的方式。如果这些社区能够形成考古知识和学习的基础，它们也可能成为排斥性做法、历史抹杀和认知不公正的根源。
