==History==
The predecessor to what would become Kaogu was published from 1934 to 1937, with each issue containing only a couple of articles.<ref name=report>{{cite web|title=《Archaeology》 Publishing report|url=http://oversea.cnki.net/kns55/oldNavi/n_YearStats.aspx?NaviID=48&Flg=local&BaseID=KAGU&NaviLink=Search%3a%E8%80%83%E5%8F%A4-%2fkns55%2foldNavi%2fn_list.aspx%3fNaviID%3d48%26Field%3dcykm%24%25%2522%7b0%7d%2522%26selectIndex%3d0%26Value%3d%25e8%2580%2583%25e5%258f%25a4%7cArchaeology-%2fkns55%2foldNavi%2fn_item.aspx%3fNaviID%3d48%26Flg%3dlocal%26BaseID%3dKAGU|publisher=China Academic Journals Full-text Database|accessdate=31 January 2017}}</ref> The earliest version of the journal was published in 1955,<ref name=CNKI>{{cite web|title=Archaeology|url=http://oversea.cnki.net/kns55/oldNavi/n_item.aspx?NaviID=48&Flg=local&BaseID=KAGU&NaviLink=Search%3a%E8%80%83%E5%8F%A4-%2fkns55%2foldNavi%2fn_list.aspx%3fNaviID%3d48%26Field%3dcykm%24%25%2522%7b0%7d%2522%26selectIndex%3d0%26Value%3d%25e8%2580%2583%25e5%258f%25a4%7cArchaeology|publisher=China Academic Journals Full-text Database|accessdate=31 January 2017}}</ref> however it appeared irregularly until 1959. Regular publication was temporarily suspended between 1966 and 1971, during the [[Cultural Revolution]].<ref name=report/>

==Content==
The journal publishes summarized descriptions of excavations across China, but more recently research articles have also been included. Following cultural heritage laws, the work of foreigners on China must first be published in [[Chinese language|Chinese]], and so ''Kaogu'' is also the main repository of data on international joint research between Chinese and non-Chinese that intensified in the 1990s. Most articles contain short English summaries.
