In fact, archaeologists are professionally trained.

When you see human bones or something, you will definitely not be afraid.

But the premise is to be mentally prepared.

After a brief inspection of the east chamber, everyone thought that no one had been martyred in this chamber.

Because there was no trace of the coffin at all, not even the wooden marks left after decay.

Naturally, everyone was very relaxed, and they didn't think they would find anything like human bones.

In this relaxed mood, Zhuang Yunpeng, who was already timid, inadvertently pulled out a piece of human bone.

And it's half of the skull with eye sockets, and the sudden frightening of him still scares him.

His voice immediately attracted the attention of others.

Chen Han and Lin Ya quickly surrounded them and looked at the surface in front of Zhuang Yunpeng.

Actually, nothing special.

It's just a gray-white skull, plus a bit of limb bone.

The skull was still very broken, with only a forehead, half an eye socket, and half a cheek, and it was just right for everyone.

At first glance, it was as if it was a half-skeleton face staring at him.

It's a little scary, indeed.

"Senior Brother Zhuang, you really have to practice so much."

"When I was at the Lajia site last year, I didn't see how afraid you were of human bones?"

Chen Han patted Zhuang Yunpeng's shoulder with some tears and laughter, and he didn't know what to say.

Zhuang Yunpeng, who had calmed down and felt extremely embarrassed by his behavior just now, also said with a flushed face: "It's not Mengyi, it's a little uncomfortable!" ”

"Although we do archaeological work, there are not many opportunities to see human bones and corpses!"

"Last time, Mr. Sui, I had nightmares for several nights in a row before I got used to it."

"This remnant human bone can't be compared with Mr. Sui." Chen Han shrugged his shoulders and didn't dare to agree.

He didn't think there was anything scary about these bones and ancient corpses.

Squatting down, Chen Han picked up a limb bone with great interest, turned it left and right, looked at it and said, "Calcium loss is a bit serious." ”

"The skeleton has also decayed, and only a few bones remain."

"But it's better than the three martyrs outside, at least you can stay a little."

Looking up and looking around, some jade huang, jade rings, jade pendants, and bronze mirrors that had been cleaned up by Zhuang Yunpeng also came into view.

These jade products are small in shape, and the ornamentation is also very rough and simple, which is not much stronger than the jade of the Neolithic period.

It should not be a burial object belonging to the owner of the tomb, but something worn by the martyr.

It's just that his body and even his bones are rotten, so these clothes are scattered all around.

Standing up, Chen Han looked at the location of the martyr, and probably guessed the identity of the martyr.

"This martyr should have been a percussion musician before his death, and Zhao Hu wanted to take him underground to continue playing music for him."

Modern people, sometimes when some celebrities die, will make some good-natured jokes.

For example, "God likes to play basketball, so he hired Kobe." ”

"God said there should be physics, so Sir Newton went to heaven."

These words, for modern people, are a joke.

But for the ancients, it was true.

In the era when the funeral system still existed, whether it was in the West or the East, the people who were buried basically had a skill.

Or rather, it was the tomb owner who needed them.

Rakaki, samurai, coachman, cook......

It was because the deceased nobles needed these people to continue to serve after their deaths, so they were "taken" away.

As for why Chen Han thinks that this martyr is a musician.

Just look at his position.

The location of his body was directly in front of the chimes and chimes.

As we all know, this kind of arrangement, when playing, requires the musician to stand in front of the instrument and use a "mallet" to strike rhythmically in order to play music.

Combined with the funeral goods in the east ear room, they are basically banquet utensils, either they are musical instruments for playing music at the banquet, or they are wine vessels and containers used in the banquet.

Obviously, the martyr who died here could only be a musician who was responsible for playing musical instruments.

In modern times, singers and musicians are a very high-end profession.

However, in ancient times, the status of kabuki and rakuka was slightly higher than that of slaves, and they could only be regarded as servants.

It is very common to be buried or something.

"The treatment of this martyr is even worse than the three outside, and they didn't even give a coffin."

Book of Hundred Leagues

Touching his chin, Chen Han was a little strange.

No traces of a coffin were found in the room, suggesting that the martyr may have been placed directly on the floor after death.

I don't even give a coffin tomb, this treatment is a bit big compared with the samurai, coachman, and eunuch at the door.

But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Han can also understand.

What are the identities of the three people at the door?

Although the "Jingxiang Order" is a position held by a eunuch and a domestic slave of the monarch, it is also an official!

The coachman, from the Warring States period to the Western Han Dynasty, has always been a high-status position, but he is not a servant.

Earlier, those who could drive for the monarch in the Spring and Autumn Period had to be high-ranking nobles, and ordinary slaves, savages, and countrymen were not qualified to drive for the monarch.

The same was true during the Warring States period, and only important ministers were eligible to drive for the monarch.

The servant of one of the nine kings of the Western Han Dynasty was specially driven for the emperor.

On the whole, in that society, the social status of the noble coachman was not low at all.

Not to mention the samurai, this is the person who defends the monarch, and under the influence of the twentieth rank, those who join the army usually mean that they have the ticket to become a nobleman.

And the samurai who guard the monarch must have a noble title.

From this point of view, there was no social status to speak of, and it seems that the music used only for the king's pleasure was indeed treated at a lower level than other martyrs, which was in line with the social system at that time.

"It's just that this is too miserable, at least give a straw mat." Zhuang Yunpeng muttered on the side.

Chen Han shook his head: "Maybe there was a straw mat or a reed mat when I was buried." ”

"But this human bone can't be preserved, do you think the straw and reeds can be preserved?"

Professor Li, who had been cleaning a copper pot next to him, said without raising his head after listening to their chat:

"Okay, record the martyrdom, and then let the experts in human studies study study the age and gender of the martyr."

"Huh?!" Zhuang Yunpeng pointed to the skull that was only left with fragments, and the few limb bones that were broken into several sections, and said in surprise: "There are only so many bones left, can you still tell the age and gender?" ”

"The pelvis and teeth that distinguish age and gender are gone, and that's okay?!"

Professor Li smiled meaningfully: "As long as there is a bone, those who study the human body can also judge gender and age by bone density and length." ”

"Don't underestimate the role of modern anthropology!"
