Master Archaeologist

Chapter 295 Treasure Boy
If the mesh braid, it really has to do with the hat.

The previous speculation about Hui Wenguan may be overturned.

Because there are not only a lot of net-like woven fabrics discovered this time, but also very precise and regular weaving. The dense stitches are as if they were produced by a modern sewing machine.

The hats made with such precision and regularity are obviously not ordinary Huiwen crowns, but high-end hats that could only be worn by princes and nobles in the Han Dynasty.

It may even be a Liehou hat that Liehou can wear exclusively!
It's just, it's a pity that the weaving of this suspected Liehou hat has been so damaged that there are only a few pieces of three to four centimeters, palm-sized fragments left.

Want to restore this hat with these few square fragments?
Even if Chen Han doesn't know much about the restoration of archaeological relics, he also knows that this is impossible.

To be honest, although Liu He's inner coffin contained a lot of exquisite utensils and gold, silver and jewelry, everyone was quite disappointed after the coffin was opened.

Originally, it was thought that the main coffin of Haihunhou's tomb, which had been soaked in water for many years and had not been stolen, would be well preserved.

Maybe some of the silk fabrics inside can still be preserved.

However, after the coffin was actually opened, the situation inside the coffin was undoubtedly disappointing.

The most important cultural relics of the Han Dynasty are actually not these gold and silver wares, nor the bronze wares at their peak, or various seals.

In fact, for the study of the Han Dynasty, the most important cultural relics are the extremely difficult to preserve silk fabrics.

The costumes of the Han Dynasty are a link between the past and the future, and have influenced Chinese culture for thousands of years.

"Hanfu" is known as the traditional clothing of the Han people.

But what exactly did the clothing of the Han Dynasty look like? Most of the time, only books, murals, and silk paintings can be used to establish the Han clothing system.

There are very few costumes that can really be preserved from the Western Han Dynasty.

The last time this kind of precious cultural relic was obtained was when Mawangdui was excavated in the last century.

The more time goes by, the older the age, the fewer clothes that can be preserved.

And precisely, clothes are the most important culture in a civilization.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are at the top of the list.

From ancient times, after humans mastered fire, the second thing they mastered was to wear clothes.

The history of clothing changes in a civilization often carries cultural changes.

Not to mention, China is a country that pays great attention to etiquette, and clothes are a very important part of Chinese etiquette.

For Chinese archaeology, the study of the clothing changes of the Chinese people is definitely the most meaningful and important link.

Among them, the costumes of the Han Dynasty are the most important.

Because the costumes before the Han Dynasty are basically impossible to preserve in kind.

However, in the Western Han Dynasty, due to various chances and coincidences, there was still some possibility that some actual clothing could be preserved.

Therefore, every archaeological excavation of Western Han tombs, all archaeologists look forward to discovering some uncorrupted silk fabrics.

This was the case when the tomb of the Nanyue King was excavated, and it was also the case when the tomb of Haihunhou was excavated.

It is a pity that God did not wish.

There are indeed a large number of silk fabrics in the tomb of the Nanyue king, but most of the well-preserved silk fabrics are made of silk fabrics. The silk fabrics that have been made into garments have not been preserved.

In Haihunhou's tomb, the situation was even worse. Not even a piece of silk cloth was preserved.

As long as it is made of silk, everything is rotten.

The remaining fragments of the woven hat that is suspected to be a hat are not actually made of silk, but seem to be made of hemp.

What a pity, what a pity!

After cleaning up the remnants of these hats.

Soon all the archaeologists adjusted their mentality.

Without silk fabrics, there would be no silk fabrics. Archaeological work still has to continue.

Moreover, there are more important things to come!

Extract this pillow!
Liu He's pillow has been cleaned out.

Chen Han's guess was correct, but not entirely correct.

Liu He's pillow was indeed inlaid with colored glaze, but not all of it was made of colored glaze.

In fact, the main material of his pillow is wood.

It's just that some glass pieces are inlaid on the wooden pillow.

There are currently 16 pieces in total.

Most of them are damaged, after all, they have been crushed by the coffin lid for 2000 years.

However, there are a few that are not damaged.

And even if it is damaged, because too much time has passed, in fact, these damaged glass pieces and wooden pillows are still glued together.

The entire pillow can be extracted in one piece.

Of course, extracting the pillow itself is not a very important thing.

The important meaning lies in whether there will be any exciting baby found under the pillow!

The ancients liked to put some valuables under the pillow.

Modern people still retain this custom to put money, bank cards and other things under the pillow.

And for Haihunhou, what is the most important thing?

That is of course his official seal.

Everyone has not forgotten that the official seal of Marquis Haihun has not been found yet!
The private seal engraved with the word "Liu He" was found, and the identity of the owner of the tomb can be confirmed.

But the "Haihunhou Yin", which is more important than the private seal, has not been found yet!

Liu He's inner coffin was almost finished cleaning.

You can already see the glazed mat under him.

But the official seal has not been found yet!
Now the most likely place to find the official seal is under his pillow.

Can Chen Han and the others not look forward to it?
Pillow extraction was fast.

Still using the old method, first insert the bamboo stick to tilt it up, and then insert the supporting board to extract it as a whole.

Not just the pillow, but the mud under the pillow was put on the tray.

In other words, if there is an official seal under the pillow, it will also be in the mud.

Therefore, when the entire pillow was extracted, all the archaeologists present followed the steps of Kong Jianwen and Director Wen, and moved from the side of the coffin to the experimental bench next to it.

All eyes were on the tray dragged by the two hands.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Kong Jianwen and Director Wen smiled, covered the pillow with a cover, and turned it over carefully.

At this time, the plastic tray is on top and the pillow is on the bottom.

As long as the plastic tray is removed, the situation behind the pillow can be seen at a glance.

Kong Jianwen didn't give a damn. After confirming that the cultural relics were safe, he carefully lifted the supporting board.

"Wow—"

There was a commotion, and everyone was on their toes, wanting to witness the unearthing of the official seal as soon as possible.

However, what greeted everyone's excited and expectant eyes was a flat piece of mud.

Haihun Houyin.

not found.
