Chapter 7: The Coffin

In order to solve the problem as soon as possible, the team invited geological experts, and the experts came to such a conclusion after analyzing all aspects of the soil in the cave.

Because the environment here is not absolutely closed, and the current technology is limited, it can only be determined that this thief cave is at least 200 years old, and it is not certain whether it is 200 years or 700 years. ’

Such a conclusion made everyone's hearts sink.

Now we can only pin the hope of solving the problem on the coffin, to see if there are any clues left in the coffin, at this time the coffin has been dug out of most of it, in the process of excavation, but also unearthed a few funerary goods.

Because this is only a squire's tomb, there are not many burial goods, in addition to some copper coins scattered around, there are several pottery daily necessities, such as pottery pots, pottery pots, it seems that the deceased used things during his lifetime.

In the following excavations, a more common artifact, the soul bottle, was unearthed. People are accustomed to calling the world that goes after death the underworld, and the underworld is what people use after death.

The soul bottle, also known as the refuge screen, flourished in the Three Kingdoms and declined in the Republic of China, it evolved from the barn, and it was more common in the tombs of the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, and there were also a large number of unearthed in the Song Dynasty, also called the 'celadon barn jar'.

On the soul bottle, people will pile up some portraits or lines, symbolizing the life of the tomb owner, the higher the status of the person will be more complicated, the lower the status of the pile is relatively simple.

The soul bottle unearthed from the Qing tomb has nothing on it, just a tube bottle, which shows that the identity of the tomb owner is not very high, and it is consistent with the identity of the tomb owner that the professors began to guess.

Because the corpse of the tomb robber is too strange, everyone's thoughts are very chaotic these days, and the appearance of the soul bottle can be regarded as reassuring everyone, and the guess about the identity of the tomb owner is finally not wrong.

In the evening, after returning to the village branch, after eating, Professor Song began to teach the students again, this time he talked about the appearance, evolution, and use of soul bottles, and also talked about several representative soul bottles unearthed in various places.

Although Professor Song gave a wonderful speech, but after a tiring day, the students were a little tired, and some even yawned.

Seeing that everyone stood up, Luo Yan also got up, and then her mobile phone rang, it was her eldest brother calling, knowing that her eldest brother wanted to train people, she gave her mobile phone to Wang Chu.

Wang Chu, who was talking to others, took Luo Yan's mobile phone very skillfully, and then pressed the answer button, "Hey, Brother Luo, Luo Yan is not here, you can tell me something." ”

The eldest brother of the Luo family on the other end said in a very bad tone, "Tell the second brother of the Luo family to answer the phone!" ”

Wang Chu took the mobile phone into the distance, and got closer to his ears, "Brother Luo, Luo Yan is really not here, you have something to tell me, I will tell her in a while." ”

It should be that she didn't want to talk nonsense with her, the eldest brother of the Luo family hung up the phone, Wang Chu read the sentence 'Still so irritable', and after reading it, she gave her mobile phone to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan's premonition was not very good, "What did my brother say?" ”

Wang Chu shrugged, "I didn't say anything, I said you weren't there, so he hung up the phone." ”

This behavior is definitely not a good phenomenon, after thinking about it again, Luo Yan decided to call her brother, lest her brother come to the village in the middle of the night to settle accounts with her, and as soon as her phone was dialed, the other party picked up.

"Second Luo, get back to me immediately!" Locher spoke without slurry.

Luo Yan dealt with it carefully, "Brother, the village is not open to traffic so late, and it will be a little troublesome to go back." Haven't you slept yet? When I'm not at home, you have to take care of yourself, don't always stay up late. ”

After listening to a few good words, the tone of the eldest brother of the Luo family improved, "I'll go to sleep, I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning." ”

Luo Yan hurriedly said, "Brother, I came to the internship with the professor this time, the opportunity is rare, I didn't tell you because I was afraid of disturbing you, but I promise, don't worry about big and small things in the future, I will definitely report to my brother first, and I will never make decisions!" ”

It may be that Luo Yan said too sincerely, Luo Che returned to his previous nagging mode, "How many times have I told you, don't worry about telling your family wherever you go, I don't know where you are gone, when did you say you were obedient?" It's always been a cut and then a play, am I too used to you? You haven't had enough of the jungle, have you? It's just not a long memory......"

Luo Yan turned on the amplification of the mobile phone, and at this time only she and Wang Chu were left in the conference room, she didn't have to be afraid of noisy others, every time her brother said a sentence or two, she would cooperate and say, 'Brother, I was wrong'.

At the same time of education, she took a pen and drew something on the paper at random, thinking about the ancient tombs excavated today, the excavation of the Qing tomb was longitudinal excavation, and assisted by horizontal excavation, which was originally two probes, but now it has been expanded to seven probes.

Exploration is the square of those excavation areas planned, archaeologists have always been in the grid as a unit of division of labor excavation, these squares are called exploration, the side length is 5 meters, the area is 5×5 square meters, generally a few people are responsible for a exploration, Luoyan is now responsible for the most marginal exploration.

Hearing her eldest brother say forget it this time, Luo Yan stuffed the pen and book into her schoolbag, she looked at the time, and actually nagged for half an hour, she thought that it would be twenty minutes at most.

patted Wang Chu, who was napping on the table, "Ye Zi wake up, it's time to go back!" ”

"So fast?" Mr. Wang obviously didn't get enough sleep.

"If you're still willing to listen to my brother's nagging, call him yourself." Saying that, Luo Yan walked out of the conference room, and after a busy day, she also wanted to sleep.

Wang Chu hurriedly followed, "Spare me, I'm not crazy." ”

The excavation continued the next day, and at noon the coffin was carried out, because of the limited conditions of the cemetery, the professors agreed to carry the coffin to the institute, where the opening of the coffin was carried out.

In most cases, the coffins that have been in the soil for 200 years have long been rotten and even the skeleton cannot be found, and the coffins unearthed from the Qing tomb are not much different from when they were first buried except for the color of some black.

After the coffin was transported to the car, Professor Wang, Professor Wu and several members of the archaeological team went to the institute, and Professor Song led the students to continue the excavation, and there are still several exploration parties that have not been dug up.

Except for the coffin and the cave where the thief is located, the other exploration methods have no important finds, almost pure soil, and some have no traces of ramming, but even so, they have to dig it.

When the professors say something, the students must obey.

The top layer of soil had been dug up a few days ago, and now it was no longer possible to use shovels, and all of them had been replaced with hand shovels. Hand shovel, as the name suggests, is a shovel held by hand, a very small one, and a little soil will come out when you dig it.

This kind of work made the students a little bored, and many of them got together and started to gossip, I don't know who said, "Did you just notice what kind of material is the coffin outside?" I looked like elm. ”
