Master Archaeologist

After completing his Ph.D. defense, Chen Han was given a three-month vacation.

These three months are the time to wait for the degree certificate.

With a big wave of his hand, Kong Jianwen proudly gave him a vacation.

Chen Han doesn't need to go back to the Academy of Social Sciences for work anymore, he can go back to his hometown to meet his parents and relax.

Of course, regarding the excavation report of Haihunhou's tomb, Chen Han was responsible for writing the part, and he still couldn't escape.

Doing archaeology, you can't do without writing materials.

After one year, half a year of archaeology, and the remaining half of the year is to write a report.

Chen Han has long been used to this.

After buying a train ticket back to his hometown, Chen Han bid farewell to Zhuang Yunpeng and Lin Ya who were also going home for vacation, and returned to his hometown in a small southern city.

As the saying goes, if your parents are here, you must travel well if you don’t travel far.

However, the situation of the old Chen family was different.

In the old Chen family, both parents and children love to travel far away.

Although Chen Han has been busy digging Haihunhou's tomb in Jiangxi for the past two years, his parents did not stay in their hometown honestly.

The two also travel around the country every now and then.

Chen's father and mother, who have realized the freedom of wealth, have no shortage of money and retired early, can only travel and cultivate their sentiments when they have nothing to do.

And the two elders are still very satisfied with their current life.

son?

What son do you want.

I have been taking care of my children for more than ten or 20 years, and finally now that the children have grown up, the two elders have a two-person world again, and there is no time for fun!

But after all, I haven't seen you for several years.

When Chen Han came home this time, his parents were still there.

In this way, Chen Han finally lived a happy life in his hometown where he stretched out his clothes and opened his mouth when he had food.

During the three months in the scorching summer, he hardly ever left the house. He either played video games at home, watched movies or TV shows, or cooperated with his teacher in writing the excavation report of Haihunhou's tomb.

At the end of the three-month vacation, besides relaxing for three months, he also handed over a report on the excavation of Haihunhou's tomb with more than 2 words and a hundred hand-drawn drawings!
With this excavation briefing, Chen Han returned to the Archaeological Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences in the capital and handed it over to Kong Jianwen.

Holding this excavation briefing, Kong Jianwen was not in a hurry to review it, but said to Chen Han with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you will be a member of our Xia, Shang and Zhou Archaeological Research Office from now on."

"Your staffing has been dropped, and you are currently the title of assistant researcher. Your office is also ready, right next door to me."

"Go, I'll take you to have a look."

Kong Jianwen pulled Chen Han, intending to lead him to identify the door.

The so-called assistant researcher is the second class in the domestic researcher system.

There are four grades in the domestic researcher system, namely intern researcher, assistant researcher, associate researcher and researcher, corresponding to the four levels of primary, intermediate, sub-senior, and full-time senior respectively.

Generally speaking, an intern researcher can do it with a master's degree or a bachelor's degree, and the one-year internship period usually expires.

As for an assistant researcher, one must have a doctorate or a master's degree and have worked in the research intern position for 2 years or 4 years in the research intern position.

When Wei Lai came to the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences to study for a Ph.D., he was given the title of intern researcher.

Now that he has received his Ph.D., he is considered to have met the rating requirements for an assistant researcher.

Kong Jianwen didn't want to get rid of his title, so he directly put him on the position of assistant researcher.

This is also an additional establishment after the expansion of the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences.

Not only him, but both Zhuang Yunpeng and Lin Ya took advantage of this expansion, and both were assistant researchers.

Otherwise, according to the previous situation, after they graduated with a Ph.D., they had to start as an intern researcher when they re-entered the workforce.

Moreover, there are no vacancies for senior titles in the institute, so you have to work as an intern researcher until someone above leaves the job.

The workstation prepared for Chen Han in the institute is the standard one.

There is definitely no separate office, but there are still separate desks.

When there is no field archaeological work, he can work on his own independent desk, and fishing is no problem.

There was nothing interesting about this stuff, and after watching it with Kong Jianwen, Chen Han had nothing to say except nodding in agreement.

Compared with the standard workstations for everyone, Chen Han pays more attention to another thing.

During the three months of rest, except for the first month when Chen Han was very comfortable, his hands were itchy for the next two months.

After the diggers left their jobs, they suffered from occupational diseases to some extent.

After resting for several months without digging, Chen Han could hardly bear it at this time, and was eager to continue participating in field archaeological work.

"Teacher, isn't there going to be any front-line archaeological work in the institute?"

Chen Han looked at Kong Jianwen eagerly, the desire in his eyes was almost overflowing.

He really wanted to dig the ground.

No matter what the project is, as long as it can participate in archaeological excavations!

His temperament is really not suitable for sitting in the office every day, clocking in from nine to five in the morning.

"Project." Kong Jianwen glanced at Chen Han with a half-smile, deliberately pondered for a while, and then said: "There is a project."

"But there are no new projects, only old ones."

"It just so happens that the Sanxingdui Archaeological Excavation Base is short of manpower to restart the fifth round of archaeological excavation work."

"Xiao Chen, why don't you go to Sichuan and help them?"

"Sanxingdui?!" Chen Han's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Sanxingdui will restart the archaeological excavation work again?"

"Go, go, I want to go!!"

Sanxingdui is located on the south bank of the Yazi River in the northwest of Guanghan, Sichuan, with a distribution area of ​​12 square kilometers and a history of 3000 to 5000 years ago.

It is the ancient city, ancient country, and ancient Shu cultural site with the largest scope, longest duration, and richest cultural connotation discovered in the southwest region so far.

The Sanxingdui site is known as one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of mankind in the 20th century. It shows that the Yangtze River Basin, like the Yellow River Basin, belongs to the mother body of Chinese civilization, and is known as the "source of Yangtze River civilization".

For Chinese archaeology, Sanxingdui is an important archaeological project comparable to Yin Ruins!

Nearly 1929 years have passed since the discovery of the Sanxingdui site in 100. The Sanxingdui project has undergone multiple rounds of excavation and cleaning work, and only less than 2% of the area has been excavated and cleaned!

It can be said that the entire Sanxingdui project is still in the ascendant stage, and there are too many dusty histories of the ancient Shu Kingdom buried under the land of 12 square kilometers!

Every ten years or so, the country will organize a round of excavation work on the Sanxingdui ruins. Every excavation will discover some great archaeological discoveries that have caused a sensation in the whole country and even the world, subverting the civilization history of the Yangtze River Basin in China!

Chen Han is so willing to participate in such a big project!
