Chapter 35 The Ancient Tombs of Phoenix Mountain
Until he got out of the car, Chen Han was still stunned.
What star scholars, what business cards in the field of archaeology......
These titles really can't turn his academic brain.
For the word "star", he has always had the impression that those handsome men and women who are glamorous in TV and movies are a profession that enriches the human entertainment industry.
Although he is indeed very handsome, when he was in college, he once met a talent scout near the university town and wanted to discover him as a star.
But he was really not interested in this industry.
It's not that he thinks the entertainment industry is bad, he also has a favorite female star, and he often chases dramas with his classmates.
It's just that he loves archaeology more than being a star.
I'm really not interested in being a star or something, and I'm embarrassed to go on TV to participate in a show or something.
Fortunately, after asking Kong Jianwen in detail, Chen Han still got a relatively satisfactory answer.
He, a star scholar, is just promoting it on the Internet, which can be regarded as increasing the attention and popularity of the unpopular discipline of archaeology.
In normal life, his work schedule will definitely not change much.
In fact, he was reluctant to find a professional archaeologist to break into the entertainment industry.
Wei Shen, who had no intention of becoming popular on the Internet a few years ago, didn't he participate in any entertainment programs, and still quietly did academics.
Although the archaeological academic circle wants to launch a star scholar to attract young people to pay attention to archaeology, it is not so dizzy that the priorities are reversed.
At most, it is just to take some photos of Chen Han and introduce the news to promote it on the Internet.
It was a great relief to him.
If he really asked him to deal with media reporters, he couldn't do any interviews every day, publicize how good archaeology is, how interesting archaeology is, or whatever.
However, Zhuang Yunpeng and Wang Weida, who were in the same company, were a little envious.
In this era, any young person who doesn't want to be popular and well-known on the Internet.
It's already cool if it's just a sense of vanity.
Otherwise, how can Internet celebrity platforms such as Douyin become the biggest social software for users.
However, several of them are also self-aware, and with their appearance, even if they spend effort to push them, it is estimated that netizens will not buy it.
At most, it is a polite shout, and the Zhuang expert is really powerful.
Where would it be like Chen Han, just a few photos caused a lot of sensation and chasing.
In today's face-looking society, being handsome is really something you can do.
......
At two o'clock in the afternoon, facing the autumn wind, everyone from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences had a brief lunch at the hotel, and then went straight to Phoenix Mountain outside Jingzhou.
When the big guy rushed to Phoenix Mountain, what he saw was a familiar scene.
Basically, the excavation site on this side of Phoenix Mountain is not much different from the Lajia ruins, and it can even be said to be exactly the same.
The same construction site, the same exploration party, the same protection shed.
The only difference is that the archaeological staff on site has changed.
"Oh, Kongsuo, it's finally time for you!"
"Welcome all colleagues from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to come and support!"
Facing him, a staff member in his forties with a smile on his face and eyes enthusiastically stepped forward to hold Kong Jianwen's hand.
"I am the general person in charge of the archaeological excavation of the Han tombs in Fenghuang Mountain, Rao Wenyi of the Hubei Archaeological Institute."
As the deputy director of the Hubei Institute of Archaeology, Rao Wenyi is also a well-known name in the Chinese archaeological community, Kong Jianwen naturally knows him, and the two shook hands and hugged warmly.
"Oh, our Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Social Sciences is just a brick, where you need help in the place, you don't have to be polite."
Kong Jianwen greeted Rao Wenyi with a smile on his face, and both sides were very kind to each other.
After throwing off a bunch of official words and greeting each other for a while, Rao Wenyi cut to the chase and said: "Director Kong, we have led a team to explore all the land required for the repair of the radar station. ”
"Roughly more than 150 grave pits have been discovered, some large and some small, and the people in the institute are intensifying exploration and evaluation."
"As soon as I heard that you were coming to support, I immediately asked my men to mark all the graves."
"In this way, tombs 1-100 will be handed over to our people."
"The tomb above No. 100 will be handed over to Director Kong, and you will be responsible."
"It's all brother units, I'm sorry to trouble you too much, it's okay for us to work hard ourselves."
Rao Wenyi's face was honest, and he looked enthusiastic for the sake of his brother's unit.
But who is Kong Jianwen, can he still not know Rao Wenyi's thoughts.
Local units are always reluctant to let people in Beijing come to grab projects, after all, everyone wants to do good projects by themselves.
Rao Wenyi's big mouth, 150 graves, two-thirds of which belong to the Hubei Institute of Archaeology, and only 50 are left to the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Social Sciences.
You must know that the archaeological team brought by Kong Jianwen is no less than the people from the Hubei Archaeological Institute.
However, everyone has just finished the archaeological excavation of the Lajia site, and in fact, they are not so eager to excavate.
It's more about the desire to finish work early and go home.
Rao Wenyi's practice of giving less workload to the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences is exactly what Kong Jianwen wanted.
"Okay, we're here to help, just follow Director Rao's arrangement." Kong Jianwen happily agreed.
This made Rao Wenyi secretly surprised in his heart, when did this group of masters from Beijing speak so well?
But it's a good thing to say yes.
Rao Wenyi's smile became more sincere, and he led the group from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to the construction site they were responsible for.
"Kongsuo, you see, this is the approximate location of your office."
Rao Wenyi led everyone to a construction site halfway up the mountain, and introduced: "Our people have already explored, and there must be dozens of tombs in this area, and I don't know how many there are. ”
Without all of them cleaned up, no one knows how many tombs there are in the Phoenix Mountain Han Tomb Group.
The 150 buildings given by Rao Wenyi before were only a rough estimate, and even the labels were all in order to grab a share before the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences came.
It is not clear whether there are 100 tombs in the area they have occupied, but they are only an approximate estimate.
As for how it is estimated?
Take the Luoyang shovel and make holes everywhere!
As long as there are enough holes and the area is dense enough, you can probably grasp the location of each grave pit.
Even if there is a gap in the data, the error will not exceed two digits.
Of course, just because so many tombs have been found doesn't mean they have to be dug up.
Much of the work the team had to do was to determine the specific location and depth of the tombs, and then assess whether the tombs would affect the project, taking into account the military's requirements for the construction of the radar station.
If it is not affected, it will not be excavated, and if it is affected or found to have traces of theft, then protective and rescue excavations will be carried out.
Official archaeology is definitely still based on protection, and it will definitely not take the initiative to excavate unless it is absolutely necessary.
