Master Archaeologist

Chapter 92 Digging is over!
"That's the thing, that's what it is."

"This time, three tombs of the Eastern and Western Zhou nobles suddenly appeared in Suizhou, which really made the Hubei Institute of Archaeology feel overwhelmed."

"The archaeological teams in various cities in Hubei, as long as they have nothing to do, were all transferred to Suizhou, but there are still insufficient manpower."

"Among the three burial groups, the Wenfeng Pagoda burial group that was discovered last will be excavated by our team led by the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences."

"Everyone, work hard and strive to complete the first phase of excavation work within half a year!"

Kong Jianwen loudly encouraged the team members, and hoped that everyone would go all out to deal with this unexpected project.

After all, the Archaeological Institute is an official institution, and it has to undertake its tasks.

Even if it is the Spring Festival holiday now, even if there are more than 66 tombs in the Wenfeng Pagoda tomb group, we have to bite the bullet and get rid of it!
Except for the Hubei Institute of Archaeology and the Jingzhou Institute of Archaeology, there are not many front-line field archaeologists in the archaeological institutes or museum archaeological teams of several other cities in Hubei.

There are only three or five people in a city.

It is no problem to be responsible for the rescue excavation of some single tombs in their respective jurisdictions, but they can't handle this kind of large cemetery with dozens of tombs at every turn.

Not only can't get it right, but you don't have enough experience!

For the three large tombs, there must be a team leader with sufficient experience.

After emergency regulation, several agencies quickly separated the responsible area.

The Zaoshulin cemetery is a joint archaeological team formed by the Hubei Institute of Archeology and the School of Archeology and Museology of Peking University.

The Yejiashan cemetery was led by Suizhou Archaeological Institute and Jingzhou Archaeological Institute, and led archaeological teams from several other cities to form a joint archaeological team.

The Wenfeng Pagoda tomb group that was finally discovered was led by the archaeological team of the Academy of Social Sciences, leading the Xiangyang, Wuhan, and Yichang Archaeological Institutes to form a joint archaeological team.

A small Suizhou, in the Spring Festival of 2019, gathered more than 20 archaeological teams from inside and outside the province, and more than [-] archaeologists!
In addition, there are nearly a thousand workers, technicians, and cultural relic restoration teams who cooperate with the three joint archaeological teams to carry out the excavation work.

The entire Suizhou train station is almost contracted by archaeologists today.

Nine out of ten passengers who kept going out from the station came to participate in the archaeological project of the three major tomb groups!
Chen Han arrived late.

After receiving him, the bus from the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences started and headed towards the Wenfeng Pagoda tombs.

"The old and dilapidated communities in the Wenfengta community have been demolished, but real estate developers have prepared prefabricated houses in advance, and we can move in directly when we arrive."

"There is no time to install heating equipment in the mobile prefabricated house, and it is winter again, and the conditions are indeed a bit difficult."

"The local government has helped us purchase some heating equipment, such as small suns and heaters, which will be equipped in the next two or three days."

"Everyone overcome first."

On the way, Kong Jianwen also kept introducing the situation.

Because this incident happened suddenly, it was really too late to prepare too many things.

Fortunately, the Wenfeng Pagoda tomb group was discovered because of real estate development, so mobile prefabricated houses are ready-made.

Suizhou is not a big city.

After less than an hour's drive from Suizhou Railway Station, the people from the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences arrived at the Wenfengta Community.

Drag the suitcase and get out of the car with a backpack on your back.

With a glance, what Chen Han saw was a construction site in full swing.

Well, familiar, too familiar!
Chen Han took a sharp breath without hesitation.

The tangy earthy smell, coupled with the faint rotten smell, is almost like coming home.

"Okay, it's getting late now, let's take a rest today, and we will officially start work tomorrow!"

Professor Li with a friendly smile beckoned: "Come, come, let's assign your rooms, and then put your luggage back in the room."

"The local government booked a kick-off banquet for us at the Yellow Crane Tower Hotel in the city center, and we will have a good meal in a while!"

On the first day of the new year, everyone was called to Suizhou from all over the world, and the local government had to express it anyway.

A table of five-star hotel kick-off banquet is a good way to reward everyone without losing grace.

Those who engage in archaeology, firstly, they don't love money, and secondly, they can't accept gifts.

Traveling to various places to go to the construction site, enjoying delicious food and entertainment is already the biggest benefit you can get.

Hearing that there is delicious food, everyone's spirit finally recovered.

After cheering for a while, everyone immediately put their luggage into the simple mobile board room according to the distribution.

The brothers Chen Han and Zhuang Yunpeng lived in the same room as usual.

The two of them dragged their luggage and went back to the prefabricated room numbered 301.

"Junior brother, you are hurting me too."

As soon as Zhuang Yunpeng returned to the room, he immediately lay down on the bed and howled.

"This is the worst Spring Festival I've ever had in my life!"

"I finally had a vacation, but you dragged me to write a thesis."

"The dissertation was finally finished, and I thought I could finally have a happy New Year, but as soon as the teacher called, I had to start work again!"

"I didn't take a day off for the promised holiday!"

Looking at Zhuang Yunpeng's tortured appearance, Chen Han couldn't help laughing.

He didn't expect such a coincidence.

Originally, he was just teasing Zhuang Yunpeng. Anyway, this paper is something to be written sooner or later. It is no different from writing first and then going on vacation.

But unexpectedly, the Spring Festival holiday was canceled halfway through, and it happened to be canceled the day after the thesis was written.

It can only be said that it was God's will.

But I still want to comfort my brother's wounded heart.

Chen Han stepped forward and patted Zhuang Yunpeng's younger generation in relief: "Brother, think about the good in everything!"

"Think about it, if I didn't urge you, we'd finish the paper first."

"Otherwise, now we have to invest in the discovery of new projects, and at the same time organize and write papers."

"That's more tiring!"

Chen Han's remarks successfully persuaded Zhuang Yunpeng.

Zhuang Yunpeng shuddered at the thought of the scene where he would have to go to the construction site to dig soil during the day if he didn't finish his thesis, and then turn on the lights to fight the thesis at night.

"Young brother is right, you are right."

"At least the paper is solved."

"Let's report to the teacher later that our thesis has been finished. Maybe the teacher can still praise us. It's not a loss!"

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yunpeng cheered up again, and patted Chen Han's shoulder heavily with a smile: "Junior brother, this should be called a blessing in disguise!"

"Hehe..." Chen Han pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, his senior brother, who has a bit of Ah Q spirit, is so easy to coax.

"Let's go, let's go to the assembly, and there is a kick-off banquet waiting for us!"

Chen Han shook his head and laughed, and pulled the recovered Zhuang Yunpeng out of the mobile prefabricated room, and returned to the bus to gather.

The other colleagues also moved very quickly, returning to the car one after another.

After everyone arrived, Kong Jianwen raised his arms and called out:
"set off!"

"Everyone open their stomachs to eat at night! It's like celebrating the Spring Festival!"

Everyone in the archaeological institute also cheered in unison, and the resentment of being pulled back to start work on the first day of the new year has almost dissipated.

In the evening, I will have a luxurious meal in a five-star hotel, and I will be able to face work with a smile tomorrow.

Isn't it just 65 spring and autumn noble tombs!

Just dig and you're done!
