ArgumentIn the last decades, many changes have occurred in scientific publishing, including online publication, data repositories, file formats and standards. The role played by computers in this process rekindled the argument on forms of technical determinism. This paper addresses this old debate by exploring the case of publishing processes in prehistoric archaeology during the second part of the twentieth century, prior to the wide-scale adoption of computers. It investigates the case of a collective and international attempt to standardize the typological analysis of prehistoric lithic objects, coined typologie analytique by Georges Laplace and developed by a group of French, Italian, and Spanish researchers. The aim of this paper is to: 1) present a general bibliometric scenario of prehistoric archaeology publishing in continental Europe; 2) report on the little-known typologie analytique method in archaeology, using publications, archives, and interviews; 3) show how the publication of scientific production was shaped by social (editorial policies, support networks) and material (typography features and publication formats) constraints; and 4) highlight how actors founded resources to control and counterbalance these effects, namely by changing and improving publishing formats.

出版过程对科学思想的影响:史前考古学中的排版和类型学(1950 年代至 1990 年代)

论点在过去的几十年中,科学出版发生了许多变化,包括在线出版、数据存储库、文件格式和标准。计算机在这个过程中所扮演的角色重新点燃了关于技术决定论形式的争论。本文通过探讨 20 世纪下半叶广泛采用计算机之前的史前考古学出版过程的案例来解决这一古老的争论。它调查了一个集体和国际尝试标准化史前石器的类型分析的案例,创造类型学分析由 Georges Laplace 开发,由一组法国、意大利和西班牙研究人员开发。本文的目的是:1)呈现欧洲大陆史前考古学出版的一般文献计量方案;2)关于鲜为人知的报道类型学分析考古学方法,使用出版物、档案和采访;3) 展示科学成果的出版是如何受到社会(编辑政策、支持网络)和材料(排版特征和出版格式)限制的影响的;4) 强调参与者如何建立资源来控制和抵消这些影响,即通过改变和改进出版格式。
