Abstract: The professionalization of archaeology is an understudied research topic in the history of South Korean archaeology. Literature on the subject has so far focused on the mechanisms that separate amateurs from professional archaeologists—in other words on the academic recognition and the credential system of the discipline. However, researchers have not considered the effect those mechanisms have on the social organization of the field. This paper claims that university degrees are not only important elements in the professionalization of archaeology, but also mechanisms of social organization within the field itself. The study of archaeological education and training in South Korea from 1945 to 1979 shows how academic education and degrees affected the subject, creating social networks and different positions in the field represented by different specializations within it. In order to study this process, this article focuses on Seoul National University’s Department of Anthropology and Archaeology, the first of its kind in South Korea.

获得专业证书：韩国考古学和大学学位（1945-1979）

摘要：考古专业化是韩国考古史上一个研究不足的课题。迄今为止，关于该主题的文献主要关注将业余考古学家与专业考古学家分开的机制——换句话说，该学科的学术认可和证书体系。然而，研究人员并未考虑这些机制对该领域的社会组织的影响。本文认为，大学学位不仅是考古专业化的重要因素，也是该领域本身的社会组织机制。对 1945 年至 1979 年韩国考古教育和培训的研究显示了学历教育和学位如何影响该学科，在该领域创建社交网络和不同的职位，由其中的不同专业组成。为了研究这个过程，本文重点介绍了首尔国立大学人类学和考古学系，这在韩国尚属首次。
