周口店

周口店 enters the wiki through 19.荒野上的大师：“我辈于乱世求研究，本为逆流之妄举” as the site of the Peking Man discoveries. The episode narrates how earlier animal fossils, disputed teeth, international funding, and Chinese field persistence converged before 裴文中 found the first skull.

The source makes 周口店 a test case for Fieldwork As Knowledge Method / 田野作为知识方法 and Scholarship In Wartime / 乱世求研究. Discovery depends on repeated excavation and local presence, while later loss of the skulls during wartime shows how fragile physical evidence can be even after scientific achievement.

Key Claims

• 周口店 links geology, paleontology, medicine, and archaeology in the episode.
• The site shows how field research can remain uncertain until the decisive find appears.
• The lost skulls make preservation and war risk part of the knowledge story.

Connections

• 裴文中 - fieldworker tied to the first skull discovery.
• 地质研究所/地质调查所 - institutional branch leading toward the site.
• Fieldwork As Knowledge Method / 田野作为知识方法, Scholarship In Wartime / 乱世求研究, and Cosmopolitan Chinese Scholarship / 世界主义的中国学术 - concept links.
• 《荒野上的大师》 - source book context.
