"The side length is 1.5 cm, the height is 0.7 cm, and the overall height is 1.4 cm."

"The tentative name of the seal, the seal of the thin."

With the filing of Lin Ya's records, this Si Bo Seal became the last unearthed item from Tomb M-105.

Over the next few days, the entire coffin was cleaned inside and out, and no other burial goods were found.

Only some rotting fabrics were harvested, as well as some fragments of the bones of the tomb owners.

However, the teeth of the tomb owner found during the first day of cleaning were sent to a professional inspection agency for identification, and the age of death of the tomb owner was obtained.

The owner of the tomb was indeed very young, as everyone had suspected.

Judging by the age of the teeth, the age of the tomb owner is 16-18 years old, which is a bit inappropriate to describe it as an untimely death.

However, judging from the size and shape of the tomb, the owner of the tomb should have been married before his death, so even if the construction was intense, a double tomb was dug out.

It was his bride, who may have just been married, and was not widowed for him, and should have remarried later.

At this point, all the speculations of Chen Han and Kong Jianwen are basically correct.

The life history of this tomb owner should be relatively miserable.

As the last head of the old Si family of the nobles in Jingzhou in the Western Han Dynasty.

Not only did he die young, but he also left no descendants, so he was buried with a family heirloom sword.

What's even more regrettable is that Chen Han and the others then read a large number of historical documents in Jingzhou, from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the end of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The six of them searched for three days and three nights, but they didn't find any records related to "Si Bo".

Although the historical record of Huaxia is already the most detailed in the world.

But it is also unrealistic to find the records of every tomb owner.

This "Si Bo" was too young when he died, and he may not have any official position, although he is a small nobleman, but the title he inherited is estimated to be not very high.

It is unrealistic for such a figure to want to leave a name in the history books.

Moreover, there were no county records in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was too difficult to figure out the life of such a small nobleman in the Western Han Dynasty.

After spending three days and not finding any information, Chen Han and the others quickly gave up the idea of continuing to search for the life of the tomb owner.

Two thousand years later, though, he left no trace.

But at least there is a seal, a sword, to prove to him that he has been to this world.

......

Although he gave up studying the life of the tomb owner, the report that should be written is still indispensable.

From the entire excavation process, to the introduction of each excavated object, as well as the taking of photographs and samples, there are also detailed research data......

"Excavation Report of No. 105 Han Tomb in Phoenix Mountain, Jingzhou, Hubei Province"

The writing of this briefing alone will cost Chen Han and them a lot of effort.

Chen Han's team buried their heads and began to be busy with the finishing work of the excavation briefing record.

Kong Jianwen, the leader of the team, didn't have time to continue to accompany them.

As the exploration work of the Han tomb group on this side of Phoenix Mountain becomes clearer and clearer.

In order to cooperate with the military's infrastructure projects, archaeologists from the Hubei Institute of Archaeology and the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences began large-scale archaeological excavations.

On the entire construction site in the Phoenix Mountain area, there are more than a dozen grave pits in a state of excavation.

And there are more than a dozen graves waiting to be excavated at any time.

According to the discussion with the infrastructure construction team, it was determined that there are at least 35 tombs in this tomb group with more than 150 tombs, which need to be excavated for protection.

There are hundreds of excavation workers hired from Jingzhou City, and the whole construction site is a scene of great work and enthusiasm.

Kong Jianwen naturally can't be idle.

After instructing Chen Han to open the coffin, he immediately devoted himself to the excavation of other tombs of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

In the south-central part of Phoenix Mountain, there are three tombs that are immediately side by side, labeled Tomb 167, Tomb 168 and Tomb 169.

Among them, No. 167 and No. 169 are two relatively small pit tombs, and judging by the scale, they should be just ordinary small tombs.

But number 168 is different.

According to the previous exploration, although this tomb is also a pit tomb, it is with a tomb road!

Moreover, the tomb is more than 6 meters long from east to west and 4.5 meters wide from north to south.

Six meters long and nearly five meters wide, this is not a small grave pit.

The owner of Tomb No. 105 excavated by Chen Han and his team is already a small nobleman, but the size of the tomb pit is 3.9 meters long and 1.9 meters wide!

The length of tomb No. 168 found by the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences is not much longer than that of tomb No. 105, but the width has more than doubled.

The grave pit is wider, what does this mean?

The coffin representing the owner of the tomb is very wide, which is why such a wide tomb pit is needed!

The coffin is wide, which shows that the owner of the tomb used multiple sets of coffins!

At least it must be more than one coffin and one coffin in Tomb 105, it is very likely that it is one coffin and two coffins, or two coffins and one coffin!

Of course, it is unlikely that there will be four coffins and one coffin or three coffins and two coffins further up.

This is the specification of princes, kings and princes, and the tomb must be larger.

But Tomb 168 is already very valuable!

This tomb owner must be a middle and high-ranking nobleman in the Western Han Dynasty!

The upper limit is the Marquis of Guannai, and the lower limit is at least 10th rank or more among the 20th ranks!

Such a character is at least a county-level leader in the Western Han Dynasty, and may even be a 2,000-stone level official!

At this level, it is possible to leave a name in history, and there may be a record of him in the "Book of Han"!

After Kong Jianwen completed the opening of Chen Han's coffin, he immediately led others from the Academy of Social Sciences to start the formal excavation of Tomb 168.

This tomb is not simple.

The first step of excavation is very troublesome.

Because the location of the grave is very deep!

Although during the exploration of the cave, the archaeologists of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences found different colors of soil at a depth of less than three meters above the ground.

But when the excavation really began, more than 20 workers and more than a dozen archaeologists dug the first three meters, and found that there was a layer of blue plaster under the ten centimeters of five-flower soil.

At first, everyone thought that there was not much of this layer of blue plaster, and it was estimated that it was just a layer of sealed soil on the grave.

As a result, it was dug more than two meters deep as soon as it was dug!

The front and back combined, digging five meters deep, did not dig the tomb!

Chen Han and the others have completed the excavation briefing and entered it into the national special digital archaeological platform, and completed all the work of the excavation of tomb M-105.

Tomb 168 is here, but the tomb has not been dug yet!

So Chen Han and his group were also arrested by Kong Jianwen and arranged to participate in the excavation of Tomb 168.

With the addition of six young and strong new forces, the excavation progress has accelerated a lot again.

After digging down for more than two meters, and when the total excavation depth reached 7.5 meters, some leaves, bamboo roots, and bamboo tubes began to appear in the rammed earth.

When the rammed earth dug up was no longer a hard and coarse green plaster, but a delicate green plaster mud, everyone's sense of anticipation was raised.

This means that the burial chamber is finally going to be dug up!
