Chapter 351 What is the Stone Age?

Before coming, when they heard the name of the ruins, the first thing that came to many people's minds was similar to the ancient style and charm of the buildings that had been left or imitated by the previous dynasties, but when they saw the situation in front of them, it was very different from what they imagined.

Standing in front of several modern buildings, looking at the incomplete walls in the distance, Zhang Yang also understood what the short silence in the live broadcast room just now meant.

"Do you think it's a little different from what you imagined? I guess you think that the place I came here this time should be similar to the Ming Tombs I visited before, and it is also other ancient buildings, right?

Here I have to give you a science popularization of what is the Neolithic Age.

Some people may have learned about the history of this area, after all, there are many fantasies about primitive society on the Internet, to put it bluntly, this period is the period of primitive people, in fact, the Neolithic is a time period assumed by archaeologists, and the concept of this era began about 10,000 years ago and ended from more than 5,000 to more than 2,000 years ago.

The Neolithic period refers to the last stage of the Stone Age, which is archaeologically the last stage of the Stone Age, marked by the use of polished stone tools.

I remember that the information I read before said that this name was first proposed by the British archaeologist Luboff in 1865, and this era should be accurately said to be between the alternation of the old and new eras, following the Paleolithic Age, or developed after the transition of the Mesolithic Age, belonging to the late Stone Age.

That is to say, the buildings we see now were also very advanced buildings at that time, and interested students can learn about the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to understand what it means. ”

The Ashan site is divided into five floors from the ground down, but this five floors are not such as a five-story building, but a kind of fault, similar to time or building layering.

"I haven't heard of this place yet, it turns out that the remnants of primitive society village life have been found here, I want to take a look when I have time!"

"Team up and team up, while the National Day is not over yet, those who want to go hurry up and sign up in the forum, I'll open this post!"

"In fact, it is also understandable that the gathering places of primitive societies, including the towns of later dynasties and generations, and now, all human living areas are basically on the edge of the river!"

"This place is actually good, and it's very good, why don't I see that there are not many people here?"

"After all, this is in Inner Mongolia, and if you go a little further, you will go abroad, anyway, if Brother Yang hadn't brought us over today, I didn't know there was such a place!"

"In fact, there are a lot of attractions worth visiting in our country, but most of us don't know it, even if there is a network with a lot of information!"

Zhang Yang didn't take the initiative to pay attention to the dynamics in the live broadcast room, but glanced at He Xiaoman, who had just come back, and followed him forward in one place.

To be honest, if there is no person who understands it, it is estimated that most people still can't understand it just by looking at the introduction signs next to it.

"As I said just now, the ruins of Ashan are divided into five layers, one layer is cultivated soil, which is also mixed with the stones of the wall foundation of the surface house and various cultural relics, the relics at that time must be invisible, but the wall foundation can still be seen, and this is what we see in front of us. ”

The cultivated land on the first floor is mainly the traces left after the fire at that time, as well as the remains of some walls, and the scale and layout of the houses at that time can be faintly seen, the drone is raised to a higher level, and then the ground below is fully incorporated into the picture, the traces of the ploughing soil may not be obvious, but the outline of the house is clearly visible.

"I'll go on, just said a layer, according to the progress of the excavation, the second layer is divided into two small layers, a small layer of light gray, soft, the other small layer of yellow soil, hard, many places have left the living surface of the ground house and the remains of the fire pond, the relics are also very rich, at that time from this location collected a large number of muddy basket pattern gray pottery pieces.

The color of the three layers is dark gray, the soil is soft, there are one or two layers of living surface in the middle, what was found at that time was still gray basket pattern pottery shards, the pottery tire was mostly brown, and when the four layers were reached, the soil became brown, and fine and hard, there were argillaceous gray brown and argillaceous orange and yellow pottery, and a small amount of painted pottery was found at this time.

Finally, there are five layers of raw soil, maybe you still don't understand what raw soil is, this is a term in the archaeological world, which refers to the original soil that has not been disturbed by humans, also known as 'dead soil', which is actually the ground where humans lived at that time. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yang also took a special look at the barrage and found that although most people in the live broadcast room understood what it meant, since there were a small number of people, maybe students or adults who really didn't understand, he simply gave an example.

"Let's put it this way, let's say there is a village in the Neolithic Age, and then with the change of time and the change of geological structure, the village was slowly buried by the soil for various reasons, and then after it was discovered by the current people, archaeologists dug out the village in the order of layer by layer, forming the five-story structure I just mentioned, which is actually the order of excavation. ”

After Zhang Yang finished explaining, some people who understood these situations jumped out of the live broadcast room, some expressed support and some disagreed, but most of them expounded their own views, not the one that directly ran out to spray people.

This probably means that there is actually another theory that the layers that were found were different periods of life for the people here at that time. ”

"I have heard the teacher say that at that time, according to its hierarchical sequence, from early to night, the cultural relics of the fifth layer were called the first phase of Ashan culture, the cultural relics of the fourth layer were called the second phase of Ashan culture, and the cultural relics of the third and second layers were called the third phase of Ashan culture. ”

"Brother Yang, it seems that in addition to the Ashan ruins, there are also the ruins of the West Garden, but there are fewer discoveries here, and there are no relics, except for some pottery shards found in the fifth layer of a few exploration parties, most of them are mixed in the late strata. ”

"I just checked it on the Internet, and it seems that the ruins of Jianghaigou, Abdulai, Xiyuan, Shenmujia, Hei Maban, Weijun, Natai, and Shabing Cliff are similar to the Ashan ruins!"

Zhang Yang's arrival here actually played a role in introducing it, because of his arrival, more people want to understand the history of the Neolithic period, and let more people know that there are traces of ancient human existence in this place.

It can be said that his arrival triggered a rush of tourism near the Ashan ruins, and later the relevant departments in charge of the ruins were a little confused when they saw the sudden extra tourists, and they also learned about Zhang Yang's live video on the Internet, and they understood what was going on.

At first, only some scenic spots saw the value of publicity, but after this incident, more people slowly paid attention to him, and some people were even afraid to look for him. WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
