Chapter Eighty-Seven: Another Year of Rejoicing

At the beginning of a cold month, everyone from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences finally completed the general excavation of tomb M-168.

Once the burial chamber was cleared, the local construction team began to carry out the backfilling work.

After the protective excavation work of Tomb No. 105, Tomb No. 115 and Tomb No. 168 was completed, the Phoenix Mountain belonged to the exploration scope of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and it was almost cleaned up.

Of course, it is not that these three tombs are the only ones in their exploration area, but only these three tombs are within the range of the military's radar station, and there is a risk of being damaged by construction.

Although the remaining dozens of tombs have also been roughly explored, they have all been determined that they will not affect the construction of the military.

In this case, there is no need to continue excavation.

At present, most of the ancient tombs of the state are still mainly protected, and they will not take the initiative to excavate them unless necessary.

However, there are some follow-up finishing touches that they will need to deal with after the year.

Yes, Kong Jianwen waved his hand and gave everyone a holiday very angrily.

This year's Spring Festival is relatively early, and January 23 is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

No matter how high the work intensity is, it will not be a holiday during the Spring Festival.

There are still about ten days before the Spring Festival, Kong Jianwen announced that he would temporarily put down the work at hand, and he could go home for the Spring Festival holiday, and wait until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year to come back and start work again.

The institute gave everyone directly through internal relations, and when the Spring Festival ticket was in short supply, one person bought a ticket home for the New Year.

After being busy for more than half a year, there was finally a holiday, which made Zhuang Yunpeng and them very happy, and they got on the train and went home with the ticket.

Chen Han is naturally the same.

However, it is different from other people who go home for the New Year without incident.

Chen Han left with two missions.

First, he also needs to cooperate with Zhuang Yunpeng to jointly compile an excavation report of Tomb M168, which will then be compiled into the [Excavation Report of the Han Tombs of the Han Nobles in the Western Han Dynasty of Fenghuang Mountain].

This paper will be submitted to the Chinese core journal in District 1, because the unearthed cultural relics of the entire Phoenix Mountain Han Tomb Group are still very important, breaking the discussion of many historical documents.

Therefore, it should be possible to publish it in the most influential "Journal of Archaeology" of archaeology in China, and the impact factor can be 3!

It's a pity that Chen Han and Zhuang Yunpeng can only be the third author or thank them as a team, and the achievements of this paper have nothing to do with them.

The first authors will be Kong Jianwen and Rao Wenyi.

However, in addition, Chen Han also needs to write an article around the excavation of Mr. Sui's [Discussion on the discovery process and causes of the corpse of the Han man in the west of Fenghuang Mountain].

He co-authored this paper with Lin Ya.

And it is also necessary to invest in the core Chinese journal "Hanjiang Archaeology"!

A 2,100-year-old male corpse was dug up in Hubei, and the preservation was even better than that of Mrs. Xin Chai, which is definitely something to write about.

The Hubei Department of Culture has begun to formulate a series of publicity work, and urgently prepares the crystal palace for Mr. Sui, and wants to make an underground palace for him on the basement floor of the Hubei Museum.

Mrs. Xin Chai of the Hunan Museum next door has brought many tourists to the Hunan Museum in the past few decades.

Millions of people from all over the country traveled thousands of miles to Hunan in order to see Mrs. Xin Chai.

This can make the Hubei Cultural Department greedy, this time finally has its own home, and it must be vigorously promoted!

First of all, the paper of the excavation report must be kept up, and it must be sent to the "Archaeology of the Han River" sponsored by the Hubei Department of Culture!

This task was naturally handed over to Kong Jianwen, who led the excavation of tomb M168.

Kong Jianwen sent the task to Chen Han and Lin Ya.

They are Kong Jianwen and Professor Li's newly recruited master's and doctoral students this year, and they happen to be free labor.

At that time, they will co-sign as the first author, and Kong Jianwen and Professor Li will co-sign as the corresponding author.

A paper was written under the guidance of two senior researchers.

The tutors gained face, and the students also gained the sako.

The impact factor of "Hanjiang Archaeology" is more than 1, and it is also a core Chinese journal, which is very helpful to the future academic development of the two.

In the first year of enrollment, he can apply for a core Chinese journal as the first author, which has made Zhuang Yunpeng and them envious.

However, they also have their own papers in various directions to write.

The thousand-year-old stainless bronze sword unearthed from tomb M-105, the four and a half taels unearthed from tomb M-168, and the set of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the letter to the ground.

These are all things that can be expanded to write a research paper.

It is also possible to carry out research to study the socio-economic and productivity conditions of the early Western Han Dynasty behind the excavations of these two tombs.

Although it is a bit difficult to rely on these contents to vote in the first district, the papers in the second region can still be voted in, and even some core journals with fewer impact factors have plays.

Although there are 7 core journals, there are only 5 of them with an impact factor of 1.

The impact factor of the remaining two is only 0.9, and when placed in popular disciplines, they can't reach the core edge at all, and even the second area is a bit difficult.

But on the archaeology side, it's already a district journal...

Zhuang Yunpeng: They still have a lot of work to do with those second-district journals with an impact factor of 0.5-0.9, although the influence is really not enough, but they also voted for the second-zone journals.

The school sometimes turns a blind eye and can graduate.

Comparatively speaking, a PhD in archaeology is a relatively good graduate, and as long as you participate in a large-scale archaeological project, the thesis can easily be passed.

This is also the current situation that TOEFL is in short supply for archaeologists in China.

Otherwise, if you change to physics, biology and other university subjects, it will be hellish to graduate from a doctorate, and there will be many people who will drag on for seven or eight years.

In this way, Chen Han took the two tasks given to him by Kong Jianwen and stepped on the train back to his hometown in Fujian.

Other people from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences also left Jingzhou one after another on January 13-15 and went back to their respective homes to enjoy their vacations.

......

Just after everyone from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences came to support the Hubei Institute of Archaeology, they left Jingzhou one after another.

The archaeological team of the Hubei Archaeological Institute was in a mess.

Let's move forward half a month.

December 28, 2018.

Yejiashan, Jiangzhai Village, Xihe Town, Suizhou Development Zone.

In the bitterly cold winter, the harvest in the village has already been harvested.

But this does not mean that the farmers and uncles who have been busy for a year can be relaxed.

Taking advantage of the gap in winter, the villagers of Yejiashan are hurrying to level the land for their farmland, remove weeds, and burn bellflower for fattening.

In this way, at the beginning of spring next year, there will be enough land to continue the cultivation of the next wave of grain.

Lao Li, whose ancestors have been farmers in Yejia Village for generations, is wielding a hoe at this time, carefully leveling his two acres of farmland.

"Bang dang."

Suddenly, Lao Li rummaged through the hoe of the land, and the hoe hit a very hard thing, which shocked his hands a little numb.

"It's weird."

Lao Li muttered, thinking that he had dug up a stone, but he kept moving his hands, and continued to chisel hard with his hoe, and turned the "stone" over together with the clods of soil.

As a result, an unexpected scene appeared for him.

What he dug out of the soil was not a big rock.

It's a bronze Ge with a patina-green glow!
