Moon Bay is the original discovery place of Sanxingdui ruins, in 1929, farmer Yan Daocheng accidentally discovered Sanxingdui cultural relics here for the first time.

As soon as the hoe went down, it opened the era of Sanxingdui excavation that lasted for 100 years.

The people of the past are gone, but the homeland remains.

Nearly a hundred years have passed, and Moon Bay is still the same Moon Bay.

During the excavation season every year, there will still be patches of farmland that are requisitioned as archaeological excavation sites for field archaeology.

When Xie Dafei took Chen Han to the Moon Bay construction site of "Archaeological Place, Idlers are Not Allowed to Enter", what he saw was a busy scene of uncles and aunts.

Said to be a construction site.

In fact, it is an area isolated by wire on an endless field of farmland.

It's different from the lush greenery of the farmland outside.

On this archaeological site, which is surrounded by iron wires, there is no green on the ground at all, only earthy yellow dirt and boxy exploration squares.

These probes are all newly opened in this year's excavation season, and they will have to be backfilled back before winter, no matter how well they are excavated.

Among the more than ten detectives who have been numbered, there is only one person in charge, who is from an archaeology major.

The others are all locally recruited uncles and aunts to help with the excavation work.

Even many of them participated in the Sanxingdui excavation in 1986 when they were young, and their "qualifications" are higher than those of the site leader in his twenties.

This person in charge is only responsible for professional content, such as scribing, drawing, surveying, scraping and other things.

If you really dig the earth, you still need the help of these workers.

There is no way, the archaeological power of Huaxia is really not enough now.

It's not that there is a lack of talent training, but that there are too many places in China that need archaeologists.

Five thousand years of civilization up and down is no joke.

Every year, thousands of archaeologists are digging around the country at the same time!

Deng Xin, who is in charge of the Moon Bay construction site, is only 26 years old this year and is the person in charge of the excavation site for the first time.

"Come on, come on, clean up all these pottery shards first!"

As soon as he entered the construction site, Chen Han heard a slightly rough female voice, loudly beckoning the workers to extract the scattered pottery pieces found in a probe.

Xie Dafei, who was standing next to Chen Han, said with a smile: "The person in charge of this construction site is Deng Xin, who just graduated from the Department of Plant Archaeology of Sichuan University this year."

"It's a female doctor."

"This is her first time as an excavation manager, and although she is only in charge of a field archaeological site, the task is already very heavy for her."

"And she's a botanical archaeology student, so she's not so good at fieldwork."

"No, she can't tell the difference between the cultural layer of the Tanfang side, so she asked me to help."

Xie Dafei's field archaeology of Sanxingdui is equivalent to Dinghaishen's needle.

Wherever there is a problem, he rushes to solve the problem.

I'm here to help solve the problem today.

Xie Dafei took Chen Han and came to a detective with the number 4481.

The female doctor, Deng Xin, was in the exploration square, holding a shovel and "fighting" with something like a stone tool.

Chen Han looked at it carefully.

This stone tool has obviously been polished by hand, and although it is somewhat rough, it is obviously not a shape that can be formed by natural stones.

It looks a bit like a primitive stone axe, used to chisel things.

"Xiao Deng, what's the situation?" Xie Dafei asked with his back hand.

Deng Xin, who lowered his head, hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw Xie Dafei, he said with a happy face, "Brother Dafei, I have a good harvest today!"

"Some pottery fragments were found in the pit next door, and one of them was clearly a clay pot!"

The pottery is a kind of pottery unearthed in a large number at the Sanxingdui site.

The apex has a semi-circular mouth and a tubular short stream on one side.

The body is micro-beamed, and there is a wide beam on one side.

There are three hollow bag-shaped feet that communicate with the body, which can not only increase the capacity, but also facilitate the heating of the fire.

The pottery is a kind of wine warmer, and a large number of wine vessels have been unearthed at the Sanxingdui site, indicating that the agricultural production at that time has been quite prosperous, and a large amount of surplus grain has been used for winemaking.

The three legs of the pottery bowl look a bit like three "radish", which is very similar to the limbs of Huba in the movie "Monster Hunt".

I heard that when the "Huba" of this movie was designed, it referred to the pottery of Sanxingdui.

However, the pottery bowl found by Deng Xin was a little broken, only one chubby foot still existed, and the rest were all pieces of scattered pottery.

If you want to put it together, it is estimated that it is difficult.

After Deng Xin used his hand shovel to lift up the stone tool that was suspected to be a stone axe, he walked up from the pit along the ladder next to him.

"Xiao Deng, let me introduce you."

"This is my junior brother, Chen Han, who is also a graduate of Peking University and a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences."

Xie Dafei pulled down Chen Han's arm with a smile and introduced to Deng Xin: "The Haiyang Hou that caused a sensation in the whole country some time ago was discovered by Xiao Chen and Jiangxi together!"

"Oh!" Deng Xin nodded suddenly, and looked at Chen Han with a smile: "Teacher Chen, who loves archaeology, I know, the top male god in the archaeological world!"

Deng Xin is a girl with short hair.

It's really short hair, not the kind that is ear-free, but short hair that is almost indistinguishable from men's hairstyles.

So much so that when she squatted in the pit before, Chen Han couldn't recognize that this was a girl.

was called "male god" by a female colleague, Chen Han would be a little embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned he was, and smiled shyly, not knowing how to answer.

However, it is obvious that Deng Xin is a very cheerful "tomboy", she stepped forward and patted Chen Han on the shoulder enthusiastically, leaving him alone, but pulling Xie Dafei to another side.

As she walked, she said, "Brother Dafei, come and help me take a look."

"This soil color is almost dizzying me, you know, I'm a botanical archaeology, and it's really difficult to distinguish the cultural layer."

"The modern layer and the modern layer above, I can still distinguish it, and I can barely distinguish it until the Song Dynasty layer, but in the Sanxingdui period below, it is a little difficult to distinguish."

"Moreover, the previous predecessors all believed that the ruins of Moon Bay were the "garbage dump" of the Sanxingdui people, and I didn't know why there was such a statement before."

"Now I understand that after this soil layer reaches the Sanxingdui period, it is too chaotic."

"Sanxingdui people have poured everything here in a short period of time, forming a messy pile, and they can't tell it at all!"

Deng Xin had a wry smile on his face.

This really made her sad.

Obviously, it looks like the same layer, but it may be because on the same day, different things were poured, and after all of them were fused together, different layers were formed, which looked very difficult to distinguish!
