Chapter 291: Glass Pillow
Two rows of teeth, a total of 30.
Well, Liu He has wisdom teeth, but they are not full length, only two.
All 30 teeth were removed, but anthropologists have only extracted two of the posterior molars, intending to bring them back to the capital for further scientific work.
Although the rest of the other teeth have also been extracted, they are still placed on the side of the archaeological base for the time being, and they belong to "archaeological relics" rather than scientific research objects.
Anyway, Liu He's teeth are also cultural relics and antiques, so they can really be ground by human physicologists for scientific research.
This thing is a treasure for human culture.
After taking away the two posterior molars, the physical anthropologists who arrived in a hurry left Jiangxi in a hurry and returned home without the slightest memory.
Liu He's bones, apart from this tooth, have nothing else to study.
Although several stumps of the femur and humerus were found in the coffin, they had lost their scientific research value because the decay was so severe.
To put it simply, there is no useful information to be extracted from these bones.
Therefore, several experts in physical anthropology did not have the slightest memory.
Anyway, they won't do archaeology!
In this regard, Kong Jianwen and Chen Han and other archaeologists are very satisfied.
They also like to get the results of the test as soon as possible, and they can have more information and evidence to explore Liu He's origin!
......
After the departure of the experts in human physique, the archaeologists returned to their posts.
Previously, because of this tooth, no one carried out any archaeological cleaning work on the area above Liu He's neck.
But don't mind now.
Everyone immediately extracted and cleaned up the remaining paint masks on Liu He's face.
After the remaining paint mask was cleaned up, the glass mat at the bottom appeared in the eyes of everyone.
The head position, the glass mat that can be exposed is the most and the clearest.
Because the area of the head is the smallest, there is only one head, lying on the glass mat, and there is no way to occupy the entire mat.
"The edging has also come out, and it is still made of gold, Liu He is really rich."
"Why does it look like a diamond-shaped glass piece, which is different from the glass mat under you, not a rectangular strip?"
"Maybe it's not striped on the head!"
Talk.
The glass mat unearthed in Liu He's chest and abdomen before was a long strip, simply put, it was the same shape as the jade piece of the golden jade clothes.
But now the glazed mat unearthed at Liu He's head, the glazed block on it, is diamond-shaped.
"Is this a different glass mat for the head, or is the shape of the glass sheet used for this glass mat on the line different?"
"There are a lot of them, including this one, they are all glass pieces."
"Isn't it, above the head of the owner of this tomb?"
Everyone gathered together, holding bamboo sticks while picking up the silt above Liu He's head, while discussing.
Suddenly, Chen Han had a flash of inspiration.
"No, this is not the glass mat under Liu He!"
"This should be his glass pillow!"
The Western Han people, or as long as they were ancients, would have pillows when they were buried. Initial Update@
In this way, it appears to be "asleep" rather than dead.
In general, the nobles of the Western Han Dynasty used jade pillows in the selection of pillows.
This is not a ceremonial instrument.
But when he was alive, the nobles of the Western Han Dynasty usually used jade pillows, and they had to be made of warm jade.
You know, there was no cotton in ancient times, at least not in the Han Dynasty.
"Pillow, the first place to sleep."
Judging from the word "pillow" on the pillow, the word "pillow" on the side of the word "wood".
When it first appeared in ancient times, it should have been mainly woody.
For example, wood, dead grass, etc., of course, there are also some people who use stones as "pillows", after all, in the hot summer, cool stones can relieve physical discomfort.
Therefore, the Chinese people were accustomed to using hard pillows in ancient times.

Chapter 291: Glass Pillow
Porcelain pillows, wooden pillows, as well as salt pillows, amber pillows, glass pillows, cloth pillows, all kinds of materials have been used to make pillows.
Poor people who don't have money use wooden or stone pillows.
Later, the traditional wooden pillows could no longer meet the needs of the people, and bamboo and rattan pillows began to appear, mainly used for enjoying the cool in summer.
Bamboo and rattan pillows, because the pillow retains a ventilated space in the middle, can avoid the accumulation of sweat, can effectively solve the problem of hot summer, and is more comfortable to use in the hot summer.
Under the head and neck, the occasional coolness has become a beautiful thing for summer sleep.
And for the wealthy aristocracy, they have a higher level of enjoyment, the jade pillow.
Although the coolness of bamboo and rattan pillows is effective, some people are not satisfied with this coolness, and then choose stone pillows for sleeping and cooling.
Although it is made of stone, it is no longer a stone product in its original state, but more porcelain and jade.
This kind of quality of life was obviously not something that ordinary families could afford in ancient times.
Even today, this jade pillow is still a luxury, not only sighing, some ancient people are really "trenches".
In the Ming Dynasty, most of the emperors still used jade pillows.
Until the Qing Dynasty, the Jurchens did not have this habit, so they did not use jade pillows, cloth pillows, embroidered pillows and then entered the rooms of the nobles.
However, the aristocracy of the Western Han Dynasty did not really just use jade as pillows.
In the tomb of the king of Nanyue excavated before, Zhao Hu, the second king of Nanyue, was buried with a pearl pillow.
When the coffin was opened, there was a large pearl scattered on the back of his head.
Even pearls can be used as pillows, and it doesn't seem strange to use glass as pillows.
And in the field of antique collection, there are indeed heirloom glass pillows.
This shows that at least there is physical evidence for using glass as a pillow.
Then, these diamond-shaped glass pieces found on the top of Liu He's head are different from the rectangular glass pieces under him.
It may be because these diamond-shaped glass pieces are not part of the glass mat in the first place, but a glass pillow by Liu He.
The position can be on the right top, too, overhead!
Before everyone could discuss whether Chen Han's idea was correct, Professor Li exclaimed and drew everyone's attention again.
"Hey, there's netting, weaving!"
I saw that it was still on the top of Liu He's head, and next to the glass piece, there were some neatly woven black woven fragments of lattice nets!
The size of each fragment is only about 3-4 cm long and wide, but it is very surprising to make, and the mesh is very neatly braided!
"This is the hat wrapped around Liu He's head, right?"
"It should belong to the same object as the previously found fragment of the weaving!"
"Yes, it's still a fragment of a hat!"
