Because of the stacking of burial goods, the burial goods in the coffin must not be moved casually.

The previous jade seal, because it was on the top, and most of it was exposed, only a little bit was buried in the mud, and Kong Jianwen pulled it out.

The other relics, including the exposed jade, were untouched.

Before the formal extraction, it is necessary to use X-rays to scan and figure out the stacking of the cultural relics in the coffin, and then formulate the corresponding extraction plan to minimize the damage.

Not only X-ray scanning, but also 3D photography, conventional photography, original large drawings, high-tech and old-fashioned methods all come in handy.

In fact, for the first three days after the coffin was opened, there was no movement of the artifacts inside the coffin.

However, it is constantly irradiated by various modern instruments, covered with a layer of plastic sheeting, and hand-drawn.

After several days of surveying, the resulting parameters were not encouraging.

The stacking of burial items in the coffin is far more complicated than imagined.

Even extracting the superposition in the coffin in such a complex situation, there is nowhere to find a precedent!

Putting on a white coat, according to Kong Jianwen's instructions, Chen Han put the coffin lid that had been turned over and placed it next to the inner coffin.

This is to have a reference between each other when extracting.

Because the coffin lid has been covered in the coffin for too long, there are already traces and outlines embedded in the first layer of utensils in the coffin.

It's like a copy of the artifacts inside the coffin.

It is possible to extract cultural relics and assume it "reference map"!

After having this contrast, the archaeologists finally began to extract the cultural relics from the inner coffin.

First of all, there are the jade gems that are exposed at the top.

These jades are the least affected by the lamination.

Because they are at the top, only they press other cultural relics, and no other cultural relics press their share.

And because the jade is a very flat round jade, even if there are many other cultural relics stacked below, there are no grooves and corners, so it is not easy to hook up or set together with other cultural relics.

It is relatively easy to extract.

After extracting these jade biblios, the extraction in the coffin came to an end for the time being.

Because in addition to these jades, other cultural relics have a serious overlapping relationship with each other.

On the other hand, on the coffin lid, the cultural relics embedded in the coffin lid because of extrusion did not have the slightest superimposed effect.

So, the next step is to extract the artifacts embedded in the coffin lid.

The first thing to be extracted was a pile of loose pieces of gold leaf, of which the large pieces were the size of broad beans, and the small pieces were not the size of a grain of rice.

These gold leafs may be related to the gilded relics of the tomb owner.

In the Western Han Dynasty, gold and silver inlays on some lacquered wood and bronze ware were more common decorative behaviors.

Among them, a large number of gold leaf are used to inlay utensils.

The gold leaf on the lid of the coffin is likely to be the gold leaf on some burial utensils.

In addition to the gold leaf, there is more silt attached to the lid of the coffin.

There is also a lot of this silt in the coffin.

Chen Han suspects that the sludge may be the remnants of the decaying silk fabric inside the coffin. …

It exudes an indescribable strange smell, which is not very good anyway.

And in addition to this silt, there is an artifact that attracts most of the attention.

It was a bronze box deep on the inside of the coffin lid.

This box should have been originally placed in the head box.

It was only because the coffin collapsed that the collapsed coffin lid was pressed on the bronze box, and over time, the bronze box was deeply hidden on the coffin lid.

As the archaeologists opened the coffin, the bronze box also left the coffin along with the coffin lid.

Bronze box inside the head box.

This keyword, it is difficult not to make people think that what is placed in it is the seal of the tomb owner's Haiyang Marquis or the seal of the king of Changyi?

After all, what is usually solemnly placed in the head box is most likely the most important item of the tomb owner.

In the tomb of the King of Nanyue, the seal of Emperor Wu of Nanyue was found in the head box!

Even this bronze box, even if it is made of bronze, is very badly damaged after being pressed by the coffin lid plate for thousands of years.

And it is deeply inserted into the coffin cover, and it is not easy to take it out.

This kind of work, Chen Han thinks he can't do it.

In fact, among all the archaeologists present, only Kong Jianwen and Professor Li were confident that they could extract it intact.

Even Director Wen of the Jiangxi Institute does not have this level.

Kong Jianwen, who has been engaged in archaeological work for more than 30 years, personally went into battle and began to carefully peel off the bronze box.

While peeling it off, he did not forget to teach the students: "The tombs of different periods in our Chinese countries, the remains in the coffins, and the circumstances of his burial may be different. ”

"It can be said that there is no fixed format, and there is no fixed routine."

"Therefore, when extracting cultural relics, the excavation state is also diverse, and it is impossible to read from the book, and it is impossible to find an excavation plan that can be copied from the book."

"In the face of these complex and changeable excavation conditions, what we can do as archaeologists is to use our own experience and find ways to overcome them."

"Like this cultural relic, the bronze box cannot be damaged when extracted, and the coffin cannot be damaged, which is an extremely complicated situation."

"We can only use bamboo strips to insert little by little into the gap between the bronze box and the coffin, gently move it in millimeters, and use friction to rub a gap between the cultural relics and the coffin."

"Speaking of which, it's actually similar to a doctor doing surgery, that is, it pays attention to a separation of flesh and bone without harming the bones or destroying muscle tissue."

"It's a job that requires patience and temperament!"

Kong Jianwen said very seriously, and Chen Han and the others also listened very seriously.

But Chen Han didn't expect that the "grinding character" in Kong Jianwen's mouth would take so long!

It took four days for this bronze box to be polished down.

It's really measured in millimeters, and it's ground down little by little with bamboo strips!

For the first time, Chen Han clearly felt that archaeology is really a very patient and time-consuming thing.

Anyway, though, the box was finally taken out.

The box made of bronze is obviously not simple.

More than 2,000 years ago, what did Liu He use it for?

Will the Golden Seal be in this box?

What would be in the metal box, the wooden lid, and the gold leaf on the lid?

After being sent to the rear laboratory, Kong Jianwen couldn't wait, so he took the small tweezers and prepared to open the blind box.

Chen Han and the others were all around him, watching his movements nervously and expectantly.

Opening a blind box or something, the most exciting!

The action was also light and slow, and the lid was finally lifted after peeling off the wood fragments little by little.

The broken jade piece came into everyone's eyes.

"Isn't it a golden seal?!"
