Master Archaeologist

Chapter 7 Chen · Very Compelling · Han

Although Chen Han just said it casually in a flash of inspiration.

But his inspiration can be said to have opened up a new way of thinking for all the archaeologists present.

Because Huaxia has not unearthed the related sites of the fireplace system before, so the two special protruding stone slabs in the No. 1 house site, everyone thinks about the fireplace.

Even the staff of the Qinghai Archaeological Institute thought it was just a slightly special stove.

However, when Chen Han put forward the conjecture of "fireplace", everyone felt a sense of enlightenment!

Yes!

Why can't Chinese ancestors use fireplaces?
Perhaps the ancestors of the late Qijia culture mastered the fireplace as a heating tool!
Kong Jianwen smiled, and looked at Chen Han with satisfaction: "Xiao Chen is not bad."

"Sure enough, the newcomers' thinking is more flexible, and they haven't fallen into the stereotype of thinking. They have all kinds of unconstrained ideas."

"The special stove in this house is very likely to be a fireplace."

"I think that the comrades of the Qinghai Institute of Archeology can definitely start a research project based on this idea."

"The Lajia site has such a large area, and there should be many more sites to be unearthed in the future."

"If this is really a fireplace, some clues should be found in other houses as well."

"If the follow-up excavation can be confirmed, this will undoubtedly become a big discovery in the Chinese archaeological field this year!"

Sometimes, what is lacking in scientific research is a little "flash of inspiration". Some very shallow discoveries are often due to the sudden inspiration of a researcher.

Chen Han's inadvertent words are undoubtedly the little inspiration that broke through the skylight.

Although this does not represent how solid his basic skills are, or even how powerful he is, it can definitely be called "spiritual"!
This new disciple is not bad!

Kong Jianwen looked at Chen Han very kindly. Without waiting for the staff of the Qinghai Archaeological Institute to say anything, he took the first step and said for Chen Han: "I think this subject is very good for Xiao Chen to study."

"If you people from the Qinghai Institute are too busy, let the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences handle this matter!"

The late Neolithic fireplace was discovered at the Lajia site, which is a very good research direction.

If Chen Han is allowed to study this topic in depth, not to mention his master's thesis, even his doctoral thesis is expected to be completed in one step.

This archaeological discovery is not simple, at least it can shake the entire Chinese archaeological world!

At that time, Kong Jianwen will help Chen Han to be a corresponding author, not to mention that he has graduated with a doctorate, and it is not a problem to directly join the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences.

This kind of good thing can't be let go!

Given the scale of the Lajia ruins, it would take one or two years of extensive excavation before the initial results and reports could be released, and it might take three or four years if it was slower.

It is estimated that it will take five or six years for the first phase of the entire excavation project to be completed!
This time is enough for Chen Han to study.

It's just that the staff member of the Qinghai Archaeological Institute is not easy to get along with.

It has been almost two months since the excavation of the Lajia ruins, and many jade articles have been unearthed one after another, but none of them are sensational enough or worthy of research.

The fireplace that Chen Han accidentally broke was the most important discovery so far.

The Lajia ruins are in Qinghai, and the Qinghai Archaeological Institute came first. How could this first major discovery be given over to the reinforcements invited from outside?

Even if Kong Jianwen and the others came from the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, it wouldn't work!
He shook his head with a smile on his face: "We appreciate the kindness of the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences."

"However, the No. 1 house site is the excavation task of our Qinghai Institute, and we can handle it."

"Thank you very much for the idea put forward by student Chen. I will report the situation to the relevant professors so that they can conduct in-depth research on this fireplace."

"I also hope that more houses with fireplaces can be found in the future to enrich the research samples."

Zhuang Yunpeng, who was standing beside Chen Han, almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

This was obviously discovered by his younger brother. If Chen Han didn't mention this, people from the Qinghai Archaeological Institute would never have thought that this could be a fireplace, and it was completely regarded as a common stove.

It's really too stingy to let the junior brother participate in the research!
He was about to speak up to fight for Chen Han, but Chen Han stopped him immediately with his eyes.

No need, I didn't look at Kong Jianwen, the team leader, and didn't say anything after being rejected.

After all, this is the home of the Qinghai Archaeological Institute.

Moreover, Chen Han's discovery is big and big, and small is also small.

Even without Chen Han's reminder, when more house sites in the Lajia site are unearthed one after another, and many sites have this kind of strange area protruding from the corner of the house site, sooner or later someone will realize that this thing is a fireplace.

After all, archaeological work is not a job of "creating" things. Archaeologists just let some dusty things in the ground come to light again.

It's not that without him, Chen Han, everyone wouldn't be able to find out that this thing is a fireplace.

Chen Han was quite satisfied with being so unexpectedly in the limelight in front of so many colleagues.

Didn't see the way Kong Jianwen looked at him, he was already admiring and gratified!
As for this late Neolithic fireplace, Chen Han is really not rare to study it.

I don't even want to decide on the direction of research as soon as I arrive at the Lajia site.

As a systematic man, he didn't worry about his master's thesis and doctoral thesis at all.

Compared with this, he cares more about whether he can participate more in the on-site excavation of the Lajia ruins!
The task given to him by the system depends on how much he contributes to the archaeological excavation of the Lajia ruins, so he will be rewarded!

In other words, it was discovered that the two special stone slabs in the No. 1 house site are actually the material for the fireplace. Do you want to add contribution?

Should it be added?
After a quick brainstorm, Chen Han took the initiative to say to Kong Jianwen: "Teacher, let the comrades of the Qinghai Archaeological Institute be responsible for the research on the fireplace."

"My academic level is not solid enough, and I can't undertake such an important research project!"

"Didn't the teacher from the Qinghai Archaeological Institute just say that the next four houses will be handed over to us for excavation?"

"I'd better go to the construction site to learn how to carry out field excavation with the brothers and sisters first!"

What Chen Han said was sincere, and his expression was very sincere.

He really wants to go to the construction site to dig more soil. This is the best way to increase participation and contribution!
Doing research, if the research does not produce any good results, it will be questionable how much contribution it can produce.

But excavating on site is different. Every shovel of soil dug here is a real contribution!
Although the method is a bit clumsy, but this is a real reward for every effort, and it will never be empty!

Chen Han, who has already tasted the sweetness of the system, can't tell which is more important!
Kong Jianwen, on the other hand, was deeply moved when he heard Chen Han's words and saw his sincere expression.

This apprentice is fine!

Don't fight or grab, don't get carried away by false fame and honor, and have a clear understanding of your ability level, you are a good seed who is down-to-earth!

For a newcomer who just graduated from university, when he heard that he could participate in or even lead a research project that was enough to cause a sensation in the Chinese archaeological circle, he was already very happy to find Bei, so he did not hesitate to join.

Where would you think about whether your level is good enough, whether you can research results and so on?

Kong Jianwen narrowed his eyes with a smile, and Lao Huai patted Chen Han's shoulder with great satisfaction, feeling extremely satisfied with him.

"Okay! It's good that you have this idea. There are very few young people like you who are down-to-earth and willing to endure hardships!"

"Tomorrow you will go to the construction site with your brothers and sisters. There is a saying that practice is the only source of knowledge!"

"Doing archaeology is to grow through continuous practice!"

Kong Jianwen raised his head, glanced left and right, then looked at the freshly laid Tan Fang near the No. 1 house, waved his hand and said, "Zhuang Yunpeng, Su Sa, and Zhang Jianbo."

"The three of you will take Xiao Chen with you tomorrow, and you will be responsible for the cleaning and excavation of the F4 house!"

"Take your little junior brother well, this is a good seedling!"

While having a good time, Chen Han and three other senior brothers and sisters were assigned to clean up and excavate the entire house site.

Chen Han laughed happily, very satisfied.
