Master Archaeologist

Chapter 63 Doing mass archaeology and promoting honest historiography
Under Chen Han's good luck.

In the next few days, the excavation of tomb M-168 by the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences can be said to be very smooth.

According to the report, combined with the coffin system of the owner of the tomb, it can be determined that the owner of the tomb was a fifth doctor during his lifetime.

Among the [-]th-rank nobles in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the fifth doctor is the ninth rank, just at the dividing line between "scholar" and "doctor", and belongs to the level of "doctor".

The owner of the tomb conformed to the burial specification of "Doctor Triple Layer" with one coffin and two coffins, which also confirmed this point.

Later, Chen Han and the others continued to clear out some pottery in the side box, which was basically similar in form to the pottery in Tomb M-105.

They are also living utensils such as stoves, warehouses, urns, pots, pots, plates, and retorts.

However, like the pottery of "Mr. Sibo", these pottery are relatively simple and unpretentious. They are all muddy gray pottery, most of them are plain, and a few are decorated with rope patterns and dark patterns.

It can also be seen from this point that after the development of pottery in the Western Han Dynasty, it has reached its peak era, and its shape and style are basically fixed.

If you want to look good, you can only use new and mature lacquerware.

Of course, after another millennium, Huaxia pottery will usher in a major change again. The porcelain hatched from the foundation of pottery will serve as Huaxia's business card, be famous all over the world, and lead the world's porcelain trend.

In addition, the most important discovery is the bamboo slips found at the bottom of the side box!
That's right, the owner of the tomb was buried with bamboo slips.

A total of 66 bamboo slips were unearthed!

At first glance, the text is written in official script, which is good news.

But it is a pity that there are not many characters recorded in these bamboo slips, some have only two characters on a slip, and some have more than ten characters.

Moreover, although the text is very clear, the content is not the lost pre-Qin articles or works of sages that everyone wants to see.

These bamboo slips are just a list of funerary objects, called "Send Book".

These are generally things prepared by nobles with more funeral objects and more formal, and their usefulness is actually similar to that of a letter to the earth, which is for the officials of the local government to read.

Since the bamboo slips oxidized quickly after they were unearthed, everyone had not had time to see all the contents clearly.

Only a few fragmentary sentences were vaguely seen.

Such as "three eight-inch lacquer plates", "one stick in the left coffin", "ten horses" and other records.

We have to wait for the bamboo slips to be sent to the Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center for restoration work before we can compare the contents in detail with the funerary objects unearthed by everyone to see if there are any omissions.

This is due to the fact that Jingzhou has always unearthed bamboo slips and bamboo slips from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, as well as various cultural relics, so there is a special cultural relic restoration institution.

Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center is one of the best cultural protection institutions in the whole country!
每年能修复木漆器文物800件至1000件、竹木简牍1万枚至1.5万枚、丝织品400平方米至500平方米！
Most of the funerary objects unearthed from the Fenghuangshan tombs this time had to be sent to the Jingzhou Cultural Heritage Center for restoration!
Of course, the rectangular bamboo piece unearthed by Chen Han for unknown purpose and with words written all over it was also sent for restoration.

Because Chen Han's ability to read seal script is very good, and as a newcomer, he has never seen what the Jingzhou Cultural Heritage Center is like, and he has not even had much contact with the restoration of cultural relics.

So after cleaning up the first batch of unearthed cultural relics, Kong Jianwen sent Chen Han to send these cultural relics to Jingzhou Cultural Relics Center with a wave of his hand.

By the way, let him go to see the world.

For this task, Chen Han is very willing to undertake.

December 12th, eight o'clock in the morning.

Early in the morning, Chen Han boarded the transport vehicle specially arranged by the cultural relics protection center, loaded with unearthed cultural relics from tomb No. M-168, and went to Jingzhou cultural relics protection center with Professor Li.

On the way, he did not forget to use the time reasonably, took out the excavation report of the first stage of the Lajia site sent by the Qinghai Archaeological Institute, and began to study it carefully.

Tomorrow is the time for the live broadcast that Kong Jianwen said.

Chen Han has also obtained the certified Weibo account.

The account name is "Teacher Chen who loves archeology".

I heard from my tutor that the Institute has been discussing for several days what to name this popular science account.

At the beginning, I planned to learn the style of Xiaoliang's early "natural history magazine" and give it an official name related to the Institute of Social Sciences.

But the director disagreed, and felt that it was a bit too heavy for such a new media promotion account to directly bear the banner of "Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences".

After all, the main body of the account is a young man in the institute, that is, Chen Han. His speech on the account must not represent the entire Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences.

Even if he did some wrong science popularization, he would be able to take the blame under the title of "intern". How could he involve the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences?

Therefore, after some discussion, the name of this account was decided on "Mr. Chen who loves archeology".

However, in the certified information, Chen Han is from the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences.

This can be regarded as giving him a preparation in disguise.

It is also because of this that Chen Han became motivated to do online science popularization.

Do a good job to solve the compilation problem!
The office has also negotiated with Weibo, and Chen Han's live broadcast notification advertisement will be placed on Weibo tomorrow.

As a semi-official institution, the Academy of Social Sciences is still very relaxed about this key privilege on Weibo.

Moreover, Weibo also hit it off with the leaders of the institute, and now Weibo also wants to promote the construction of the knowledge zone, hoping that there will be more knowledgeable Vs.

Not only Weibo, but also social platforms such as Zhihu, Station B, Douyin, etc. The administrative staff in the institute have registered and authenticated official accounts for Chen Han.

After that, Chen Han mainly operated the accounts of these four platforms.

Among them, Douyin mainly conducts short video science popularization, and makes some short videos similar to "identify the recent popular archaeological rumors on the Internet".

Zhihu and Weibo are mainly used as interactive platforms, writing some articles on archaeological science, answering questions from netizens, answering questions from netizens, sharing daily interesting things and so on.

Station B needs to release some long videos from time to time to carry out archaeological popularization work. As for the video content, it can bring the public to understand the daily work of archaeologists, introduce the tools used, and popularize some major Chinese archaeological achievements.

In short, in one sentence, the institute is determined to push Chen Han to the front of the stage, and let him become a voice in the field of archaeology on the Internet, a popular science internet celebrity, and an influential big V!

Thus influencing and changing the public's stereotypes and misunderstandings of archaeology, as well as various archaeological rumors on the Internet.

To do mass archaeology, to promote true historiography!

Of course, whether all these beautiful blueprints can be realized depends on Chen Han's performance.

The institute can only create good conditions for him.

Whether he can become Director Fox in the archaeological world, or can't make a splash at all, it all depends on Chen Han's own efforts and luck!
