近年考古的新角色可作為生態與文化、自然與社會之間的中介性連結已成事實，亦即推廣考古教育與展現考古知識，是古代文明與現代文化創新、文化資產延續的一種溝通橋樑。然而從挖掘自然與文化層位到展現及推廣考古知識，如何透過溝通與詮釋讓更多普羅大眾認識文化資產，加深人們更瞭解居住地的歷史，並思索過去如何、為何與現在有關，目前仍缺乏一個有系統的思維與做法。　　本文即有意藉由「挖掘」、「呈現」與「教育推廣」三階段，重新思索考古學與文化資產的理念與操作，俾益拓展大眾的時間意識縱深及進一步探討文化創新、傳播及迅速共享策略。其中針對在城市之發展階段，臺中考古遺址與遺物如何被發現與呈現所經歷的過程為主軸檢討，期待更多的探討過去，展望未來。

The archaeological record and the natural environment are a critical source of understanding the majority of humanity’s past in terms of ecological and cultural diversity. In recent years, rescue excavation and documentation is not sufficient. In short, presenting and promoting archaeology education to the public matters for modern culture and heritage preservation. Explaining the profound and diverse record of ancient humanity has a value for bridging the past and the future.　　 The Taichung basin is located in the central part of Taiwan. Excavation results from archaeological sites in Taichung city tells the story of its prehistoric residents. At different time periods and under different environmental factors, different styles of objects emerged. The work of archaeologists is to salvage prehistory before urban development destroys important sites in Taichung City. In addition to rescue excavation, the author anticipates that through communication and interpretation of archaeological resources for educational purposes they may serve as sustainable mechanisms for cultural renovation in the near future.
