随着考古工作的不断进展，许多夏商时期的宫殿遗址已经进行了较为深入的发掘。但对这些考古材料的解读却一直呈现个人化和随意化的倾向，主要表现为对这些宫殿基址性质的判定众说纷纭且变化频繁。本文使用定量分析的方法，先以性质基本确定的宫殿基址作为基本标尺，再通过对若干种特殊的宫殿考古遗存的分析，确定了以杀祭坑现象为主要判定标准、庭院格局和主殿格局为辅助判定标准的判定体系。并运用此标准对一些争议较大的夏商宫殿建筑基址的性质作出尝试性的判断。

With the continuous progress of the archaeological work, many of the Xia and Shang Dynasties palace ruins have been discovered and explored in-depth. However, the interpretation of these archaeological material has been presented a personal and free tendency, especially for the judgment of the types of these palaces ruins. Scholars often have divergent views and their opinions change frequently. This article uses the method of quantitative analysis. First, we choose a few palace ruins whose types are clear and certain as the basic standard. Then, through the analysis of several representative palace ruins, I have built a analysis system which use the “Sacrifice Pit” phenomenon as the main criteria and the layout of the courtyard or the main hall as the auxiliary criteria. Finally, I try to make some tentative judgment on the types of some controversial Xia and Shang Dynasties palace ruins with this standard.
