Master Archaeologist

Chapter 87

At the beginning of cold January, everyone at the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences, finally completed the general excavation of tomb M-168.

After the tomb was determined to be cleaned up, the local construction team began backfilling.

After the protective excavations of Tomb No. 105, No. 115 and No. 168 have been completed successively, Fenghuang Mountain belongs to the exploration scope of the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, and it is almost cleaned up.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are only these three tombs in their survey range, but that only these three tombs are within the range of the radar station built by the military and are at risk of being destroyed by construction.

Although the remaining dozens of tombs have been roughly explored, they have been determined not to affect the military's construction.

That being the case, there is naturally no need for further excavation.

At present, most of the country's ancient tombs are still protected, and they will not take the initiative to excavate them unless necessary.

However, there are still some follow-up finishing work that need to be dealt with after a year.

Yes, Kong Jianwen gave everyone a holiday with a big wave of his hand.

This year's Spring Festival is relatively early, and January 1 is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

No matter how high the work intensity is, it will not mean that there will be no holidays during the Spring Festival.

About ten days before the Spring Festival, Kong Jianwen announced that he would temporarily put aside his work and go home for the Spring Festival holiday. He would return to work again on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

Through internal relations, the institute directly bought a ticket for everyone to go home for the New Year when tickets were in short supply during the Spring Festival travel season.

After being busy for more than half a year, there was finally a holiday, which made Zhuang Yunpeng and the others very happy, and took the train ticket and got on the train to go home happily.

Chen Han is naturally the same.

However, it is different from other people who go home for the New Year without incident.

Chen Han left with two tasks.

First, he still needs to cooperate with Zhuang Yunpeng to jointly write an excavation report of tomb M168, which will be compiled together into the [Excavation Briefing of the Western Han Dynasty Noble Han Tombs in Fenghuang Mountain].

This paper will be submitted to the Chinese core journals in the first district, because the unearthed cultural relics of the entire Fenghuangshan Han Tomb Group are still very important, breaking the discussion of many historical documents.

Therefore, it should be possible to publish it in the most influential domestic archeology "Journal of Archeology", with an impact factor of 3!

It's a pity that Chen Han and Zhuang Yunpeng can only be the third author or thank them as a team. The achievements of this paper have nothing to do with them.

The first authors will be Kong Jianwen and Rao Wenyi.

But in addition, Chen Han also needs to write an article "Discovery Process and Causes of the Western Han Male Corpse in Fenghuang Mountain" around the excavation of Mr. Sui.

He and Lin Ya co-authored this paper.

And also to vote for the Chinese core journal "Hanjiang Archeology"!

A 100-year-old male corpse was dug up in Hubei, and its preservation condition is better than that of Mrs. Xin Zhui. This is definitely something to write about.

The Hubei Department of Culture has already begun to formulate a series of propaganda work, and is urgently preparing the Crystal Palace for Mr. Sui, and will build an underground palace for him on the basement level of the Hubei Museum.

Mrs. Xin Zhui from the Hunan Museum next door has brought countless tourists to the Hunan Museum in the past few decades.

Millions of people from all over the country traveled thousands of miles to Hunan just to see Mrs. Xin Zhui.

This has made the Hubei Department of Culture greedy, and this time it finally has its own, so we must vigorously publicize it!
First of all, the papers of the excavation report must keep up, and must be sent to the "Han River Archeology" sponsored by the Hubei Department of Culture!

This task was naturally handed over to Kong Jianwen, who led the excavation of tomb M168.

Kong Jianwen assigned the task to Chen Han and Lin Ya.

They are Kong Jianwen and Professor Li's newly recruited master and doctoral students this year, and they happen to be free laborers.

At that time, they will co-sign the first author, and Kong Jianwen and Professor Li will co-sign the corresponding author.

A dissertation, written under the supervision of two senior fellows, is produced.

The tutors gained face, and the students also gained face.

The impact factor of "Han River Archeology" is more than 1, and it is also a core Chinese journal, which will be very helpful for the future academic development of the two.

In the first year of enrollment, they can submit to a Chinese core journal as the first author, which has already made Zhuang Yunpeng and the others envious.

However, they also have their own papers to write in various directions.

The thousand-year-old bronze sword unearthed from Tomb M-105, the four and a half trees unearthed from Tomb M-168, the set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and the book of confession.

These are all things that can be developed to write a research paper.

Research can also be carried out to study the social economy and productivity conditions in the early Western Han Dynasty revealed behind the unearthed objects from these two tombs.

Although it is a bit difficult to select for the first district based on these contents, papers in the second district can still be voted for, and even some core journals with relatively few impact factors are also involved.

China's archaeological journals are in the same difficult situation as the industry. Although there are 7 core journals, only five of them actually have an impact factor of more than 1.

The impact factor of the remaining two is only 0.9, which is not enough to reach the core of the popular disciplines, and even the second district is a bit difficult.

But in archaeology, it is already a district journal
Zhuang Yunpeng and the others are making great efforts to invest in those journals in the second district with an impact factor of 0.5-0.9. Although the influence is indeed not enough, they still voted for the journals in the second district.

Schools sometimes turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and they can graduate.

Relatively speaking, it is easier to graduate with a PhD in archaeology. As long as you participate in a large-scale archaeological project, the thesis can easily meet the standard.

This is also the current situation that TOEFL is in short supply of domestic archaeologists.

Otherwise, if you change to a university subject such as physics or biology, it will be extremely difficult to graduate from a Ph. D. There are many people who will delay for seven or eight years.

In this way, Chen Han took the two tasks assigned to him by Kong Jianwen and set foot on the bullet train back to his hometown in Fujian.

Other people from the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences also left Jingzhou one after another on January 1-13, and went back to their respective homes to enjoy the holiday.

Just after everyone from the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Social Sciences came to support the Institute of Archeology of Hubei Province, they left Jingzhou one after another.

The archaeological team of the Hubei Institute of Archaeology was in a mess.

Let's move forward half a month.

April 2018, 12.

Yejiashan, Jiangzhai Village, Xihe Town, Suizhou Development Zone.

In the bitterly cold winter, the harvest in the village has already been harvested.

But this does not mean that the peasant uncles who have been busy for a year can relax.

Taking advantage of the winter window, the villagers of Yejiashan are rushing to level the land for their farmland, weed weeds, and burn bellflowers to fatten them up.

In this way, when the next spring begins, there will be enough soil strength to continue the next wave of grain cultivation.

Lao Li, who has been a farmer in Yejia Village for generations, is brandishing a hoe at this moment, earnestly leveling his two acres of farmland.

"Bangdang."

Suddenly, Lao Li was turning over the ground with a hoe, and a hoe hit a very hard object, which made his hands numb from the shock.

"Strange."

Lao Li grumbled, thinking that he had dug a rock, so he kept moving his hands, and continued to dig hard with the hoe, turning the "rock" up together with the clod of soil.

As a result, something unexpected happened to him.

What he dug out of the soil was not a big rock.

It was a bronze dagger with a green patina!
　The second volume is finished, and the third volume will be opened in two or three days.

　　Advance notice, the third volume is "The Controversy of the Two Kingdoms"
