本文舉出1934年日人西東重義先生所發表當時稱為「臺東廳八里芒ャ卜ヶь⑦」的遺址，因為多種語言，以及行政區域名稱更改等歷史背景因素造成遺址名稱特殊，導致該遺址多年來被忽略、被誤解，以及後來重新被認識之過程。本文據之討論史前遺址命名的重要性與困難性，詳述本遺址重新認清的過程之外，並作成該遺址附近地區（即今日臺東縣東河鄉興昌村及其附近）若干遺址的最新田野調查報告。另將修訂及新增相關遺址簡檔附於文後。

　　　　　This paper began with a discussion basically on the importance and the problem of giving a place name for a prehistoric site. The focus is on a preliminary report of archaeological excavations, published in 1934. This report was written in Japanese and the site was described in local Amis spelling as Atogolan with a district name previously given in the past. Thus the site was mistaken as another site recently known as the Tu-lan site for many years. In this paper the present author after having surveyed the area, is able not only to clarify the mistake in detail, but also made a preliminary field report on some newly discovered prehistoric sites in the area and revised some site records made in 1992 in which Alogolan was included.
