Master Archaeologist

Scholars from universities and research institutes all over the country arrived at the Nanchang Haihunhou Archaeological Base one after another.

This also means that the first stage of archaeological excavation of the tomb of Haihunhou in Nanchang is about to come to an end.

It's not that the archaeological excavation of Haihunhou's tomb is over.

Like this kind of tomb, the entire archaeological cycle is five years, or even ten years.

It has only been about a year or two since the excavation of Haihunhou's tomb, and the project has not yet been completely completed.

However, the main field excavation work can basically be declared over.

Most of the cultural relics in Haihunhou's tomb have been extracted.

Including the glazed mat at the bottom of the inner coffin, after some hard work by Kong Jianwen and Director Wen, they were also extracted.

Next, the archaeological work of Haihunhou's tomb will be completely transferred to the work of indoor finishing and restoration.

These tasks are very time-consuming and energy-consuming.

Whether it is sorting out the thousands of unearthed cultural relics one by one, or restoring them, it is a workload in units of "years".

Moreover, these tasks have nothing to do with field archaeology.

Archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences, such as Chen Han and Kong Jianwen, do not need to participate in these follow-up sorting and restoration work.

These tasks will be handed over to the local archaeological institute in Jiangxi, as well as the elites drawn from the cultural relic restoration departments in various places.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Moreover, the local archaeological forces in Jiangxi also need the tomb of Haihunhou, an archaeological base that has been tempered for a long time.

Jiangxi does not need the large archaeological provinces in the north. Almost every province has archaeological projects under long-term excavation, which can provide continuous training.

The tomb of Haihunhou is a rare opportunity for local archaeological forces to exercise.

If they are used well, a group of skilled archaeologists will emerge in Jiangxi in the next ten years.

Rely on this archaeological base.

Of course, Chen Han and the others, the "imperial envoys" from Beijing, will not stay in Jiangxi to occupy the resources of the local archaeological institute.

However, before leaving Jiangxi, the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences still has some work to do.

On the one hand, it is necessary to finish the work of field archaeology.

On the other hand, it is a staged press conference with the Jiangxi Archaeological Institute and superstars.

The archaeological excavation of the tomb of Haihunhou in Nanchang, Jiangxi can be said to be the work of countless people.

Not only in the industry, but also on the Internet, news about the excavation of this tomb has long been aroused.

CCTV reporters also came to the archaeological site many times to shoot documentaries and interviews, and announced many important archaeological results to the outside world.

For example, the hundreds of catties of gold, such as the Confucius screen that was just discovered before, and so on.

Now, as the official archaeological institutions, the Archaeological Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences and the Jiangxi Institute of Archeology, which led the field archaeological work on Haihunhou's tomb, must hold a formal report meeting to report the results of the phases. The archaeological work of the first phase of Hou Tomb has come to an end.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Chen Han for the time being.

His Ph.D. graduation went well.

In the two years since the tomb of Haihunhou was excavated, Chen Han has successfully completed the writing of his doctoral thesis. …

His doctoral research topic is the Zeng Guo tomb group that he participated in the excavation before.

Participated in the excavation of the only tomb of the lineage of the Western Zhou vassal states that was clarified by field archaeology. This research result is definitely more than enough as a doctoral dissertation.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources, and read aloud with many timbres. Both Android and Apple are available. 】

For this topic, Chen Han published three major papers and five small papers, forming a series of papers on "The Kingdoms of Princes Excavated from the Underground: The Mystery of Zeng Sui".

This part of the thesis is enough for him to complete his graduation defense.

Just because he has been participating in the archaeological excavation of Haihunhou's tomb, he never went back to school to defend his thesis.

But in fact, his current treatment is basically equivalent to that of a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences.

As soon as he finishes defending his graduation thesis, he can directly enter the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences and officially become an archaeological researcher.

His organization has already been prepared.

But even so, his current qualifications are too shallow, just an ordinary archaeological researcher of the Academy of Social Sciences.

This kind of press conference to report the results jointly held with the Jiangxi Institute of Archeology has nothing to do with Chen Han.

The protagonists of this briefing are Kong Jianwen, Director Wen, Professor Li and others.

He, Zhuang Yunpeng, Lin Ya and the others were just sitting behind the elders, acting as a backdrop.

In the twelfth lunar month of 2022.

In the Haihunhou Archaeological Base, a [Haihunhou Tomb Phased Achievement Report Meeting] was held in a very low-key manner, and dozens of professional media were invited.

The outside public is basically unaware of this meeting.

But the media people invited to this report are all well-known.

Netease, Phoenix, Sina, Sohu and other media giants were all invited to participate.

At the meeting, Kong Jianwen and Director Wen made reports on the more important discoveries in the archaeology of Haihunhou's tomb, which lasted for nearly two years.

Because everyone is engaged in academics, so they don't know the so-called media people's words.

The introductions of both are relatively dry.

It is in the XX tomb that XX cultural relics were discovered. This cultural relic is of great significance to the exploration of the XX field.

Such as Cordyceps, such as distillers, such as peanuts...

The discovery of these things often pushes back the history of Chinese civilization using these utensils and plants for thousands of years!
So even if the narration of the two reporters is relatively dry, the media reporters in the audience are still very excited.

It doesn't matter if the elders who are engaged in academics talk more directly!

Isn't there media?
A result that Kong Jianwen could explain clearly in only a dozen or twenty words, could become a "surprise" report with hundreds of words after the pens of these media people!
Among other things, those unofficial media can definitely produce a batch of news reports that attract the attention of the public!
"Archaeology" itself is a thing that can arouse public curiosity.

The heavyweight discoveries in Haihunhou's tomb this time are indeed enough and heavy enough.

Just write the ups and downs of the process of its discovery, and add some metaphysical color.

For example, in this tomb of Marquis Haihun, there is still an issue of strange fragrance that has not been clarified so far!

It has been nearly two years since the excavation of the tomb and the end of the field excavation work, but the strange fragrance in the tomb still exists!

Until now, archaeologists have not actually figured out the source of this fragrance.

We can only guess that this may be the aroma emitted by the wood used to build the tomb itself.

But the media definitely wouldn't write like that. They only need to use a little bit of journalism to write some articles that attract the public and let them come to the excavation results of Haihunhou's tomb!
