Chapter 350 What is the Stone Age?

Chapter 351 What is the Stone Age?
Before coming here, when they heard the name of the ruins, the first thing many people thought of was a building with ancient style and charm that was preserved or imitated from the past dynasties, but seeing the situation in front of them, it was quite different from what they imagined. same.

Standing in front of several modern buildings, looking at the incomplete walls in the distance, Zhang Yang also understood what the brief silence in the live broadcast room meant.

"Do you think it is a little different from what you imagined? I guess you will think that the place you came this time should be similar to the Ming Tombs I have been to before, and it is also other ancient buildings, right?

Here I have to give you a popular science about what is the Neolithic Age.

Some people may know the history of this aspect. After all, there are many fantasy novels about primitive society on the Internet. To put it bluntly, this period is the period of primitive man. In fact, the Neolithic Age is a time period assumed by archaeologists. It started about 1 years ago and ended from 5000 to 2000 years ago.

The Neolithic Age refers to the last stage of the Stone Age in archaeology, the stage of human material and cultural development marked by the use of polished stone tools.

I remember that the information I read before said that this name was first proposed by the British archaeologist Lubbock in 1865. To be precise, this era should be between the old and new eras. After the Paleolithic Age, Or developed through the transition of the Mesolithic Age, belonging to the late Stone Age.

In other words, the buildings we see now were considered very advanced buildings at that time. Students who are interested can learn about the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to understand what it means. "

The Ashan site is divided into five floors from the ground down, but the five floors are not the same as five floors, but a kind of fault, similar to time or building layers.

"I've never heard of this place before. It turns out that relics of village life in a primitive society have been found here. I have to take a look when I have time!"

"Form a team, before the National Day is over, those who want to go sign up in the forum, I will open this thread!"

"Actually, it is also understandable that the gathering places of primitive societies, including towns in later dynasties and generations, and now, all human living areas are basically on the edge of rivers!"

"This place is actually pretty good, and it's doing well. Why do I see that not many people come here?"

"After all, this is NMG. If you go a little higher, you will go abroad. Anyway, if Brother Yang didn't bring us here today, I wouldn't even know there is such a place!"

"In fact, there are many scenic spots worth visiting in our country, but most of us don't know about them, even if there is a lot of information on the Internet!"

Zhang Yang did not take the initiative to pay attention to the dynamics in the live broadcast room, but took a look at He Xiaoman who had just returned, and followed him forward from one place to another.

To tell you the truth about the ruins here, if there is no special introduction by someone who understands them, most people probably won’t be able to understand them just by looking at the introduction cards next to them.

"As I said just now, the ruins of Ashan are divided into five layers in total. The first layer is cultivated soil, which is also mixed with stones and various cultural relics from the foundation of the house wall on the surface. The relics at that time must not be seen, but the foundation of the wall It can still be seen, this is right in front of our eyes.”

The cultivated land on the first floor is mainly the traces left after the fire and the remains of some walls. The scale and layout of the houses at that time can also be seen faintly. Raise the drone to a height, and then incorporate the entire ground below into the picture Among them, the traces of plowed soil may not be obvious, but the outline of the house is clearly visible.

"Let me continue. I just mentioned the first floor. According to the progress of the excavation, the second floor is divided into two small layers. The first layer is light gray and soft in texture, and the other small layer of yellow flower soil is hard in quality. There are the living surface of the house on the ground and the remains of the firepit. The relics are also very rich. At that time, a large number of muddy basket pattern gray pottery fragments were collected from this location.

The color of the third floor is dark gray, the soil is soft, and there are one or two layers of living surfaces in between. At that time, most of the pottery pieces with gray basket patterns were found, and the pottery bodies were mostly brown. Brown, thin and hard, mostly muddy taupe and muddy orange-yellow pottery, and a small amount of painted pottery was found at this time.

Finally, there is the fifth layer of raw soil. Maybe you don’t quite understand what raw soil is. This is a term in the archaeological field. It was the ground where human beings lived at that time. "

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yang took a special look at the barrage, and found that although most people in the live broadcast room understood what it meant, since there were a small number of people, maybe students or adults who really didn't understand, he simply Take an example.

"Let's put it this way, let's say that there is a village in the Neolithic Age, and then with the changes of time and geological structure, the village was gradually buried for various reasons, and then it was discovered by people today. After that, the archaeologists dug out the village layer by layer, forming the five-layer structure I just mentioned, which is actually the order of excavation.”

After Zhang Yang finished explaining, some people who understood the situation also jumped out of the live broadcast room, some expressed their support and some expressed their disagreement, but most of them were expressing their own opinions, not the ones who directly came out to criticize others.

"It probably means that, in fact, there is another theory, that is, the layers discovered are different periods of life of the people here at that time."

"I heard from my teacher about the Ashan ruins before, saying that at that time, according to the sequence of levels, from morning to night, the cultural relics on the fifth floor were called the first phase of Ashan culture, and the cultural relics on the fourth floor were called the second phase of Ashan culture. period culture, and the cultural relics on the third and second floors are called the third period culture of Ashan.”

"Brother Yang, it seems that besides the Ashan ruins, there is also the Xiyuan ruins here, but there are few discoveries here, and there are no remains. Except for some pottery fragments found in the fifth floor of a few exploration squares, most of them are mixed in the late period. In the ground."

"I checked it on the Internet just now, and it seems that the ruins of Xuhaigou, Adurai, Xiyuan, Shenmujia, Heimaba, Weijun, Natai, and Shabingya are similar to the Ashan ruins. Ruins!"

Zhang Yang's coming here actually served as an introduction. Because of his arrival, more people wanted to learn about the history of the Neolithic period, and more people knew that there was still a cultural heritage in this place. Traces of ancient human existence.

It can be said that his arrival triggered a wave of tourism around the Ashan ruins. Later, the relevant departments in charge of the ruins were a little confused when they saw the sudden increase of tourists. It was only after learning about Zhang Yang’s live video on the Internet that they understood what's going on.

At the beginning, only some scenic spots saw the value of Zhang Yang, but after this incident, more people gradually paid attention to him, and some people were even afraid to look for him.
