Chapter 362: There are so many cultural layers

Standing next to a ditch that had been dug out, Chen Han said in a chic manner:

"Our T1 is located at the west end of the north slope of the dam, close to the west of the Mt. Hata Kei, in the same direction as the direction of the dam, with a length of 10 meters from east to west and a width of 4 meters from north to south."

"The main purpose of the trench excavation is to understand the structure of the junction between the dam and the mountain, and to determine whether there is a special way to deal with it."

"In addition, during the early drilling process, a small number of cultural relics such as red clay and charcoal grains were found in the area, indicating the existence of cultural accumulation, which is expected to provide a stratigraphic basis for resolving the age of the dam."

"This is a very important trench!"

"Everyone should work hard to excavate and strive not to miss a single detail!"

Yes, Chen Han has been "promoted", and he is now the person in charge of T1 Trench.

It can be counted as the "ditch chief", and under him there are five or six archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Efforts are now underway to excavate the 10-meter-long and four-meter-wide trench.

At present, T1 has discovered the cultural accumulation of different periods such as the Song Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty, and Maqiao Culture.

Chen Han stood in the section of the south wall of the trench and could clearly see that there were seven layers of cultural layers in the section.

The first layer is the cultivated soil layer, gray-black soil, loose texture, containing a large amount of humus and a small amount of stones.

But don't look at the top of the cultivated soil, but there are a lot of good things in the soil.

However, the soil layer with a thickness of 0.18~0.26 meters has unearthed a small amount of green glaze, sauce glaze, white glaze porcelain pieces, blue and white porcelain pieces, original porcelain pieces, printed hard pottery pieces and sand-filled gray pottery pieces, and the recognizable shapes include blue and white bowls, blue glaze ring foot bowls and other porcelain, as well as bricks, tiles, and pottery.

This shows that the top layer of cultivated soil, if stratified according to culture, is not a modern soil layer, but a soil layer in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

This is because the area where the ancient city of Liangzhu is located was determined to be an ancient site in the 20s of the last century, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this area has not been listed as a development zone, and basically maintained its original appearance.

Therefore, the top soil layer is actually the soil layer of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there are many traces of bricks and tiles and porcelain pottery in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

And to the second layer below, it is already the cultural layer of the Song Dynasty.

The second layer of soil is light yellow-brown silty sand, soft, mixed with gray and white soil blocks, with a thickness of 0.14~0.3 meters.

In this layer of Song Dynasty culture, green glaze, sauce glaze, white glaze porcelain pieces, sand-gray, yellow, red pottery pieces, muddy gray, brown, gray-black pottery pieces, recognizable shapes include porcelain bowls, porcelain jars, bricks, tiles, etc.

Needless to say, how important the Jiangnan region was in the Song Dynasty was, right?

Especially the Southern Song Dynasty.

Lin'an Mansion, the temporary capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, is next door to Yuhang!

Now everyone is a part of the city of HZ!

Located in the Liangzhu ancient city area of Yuhang, in the Southern Song Dynasty, it can be regarded as a suburb of Beijing!

All kinds of Song Dynasty porcelain and pottery pieces in the soil layer are called a rich!

Of course, they are not the exquisite porcelain in the impression of ordinary people, most of them are ordinary pottery and porcelain fragments used by ordinary people in the Song Dynasty.

To be honest, even now, it's not worth much.

However, for archaeologists, worthless things have never been in everyone's consideration.

Even if it is a piece of pulled by the ancients in the Song Dynasty, if it can be dug out in the soil, it will be a treasure for archaeologists!

And to the third layer, it is the cultural layer of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, in fact, the Jiangnan region, especially the Zhejiang region, because it had already experienced the Sima family's clothes and crossed to the south, Jiangnan was also a fiercely developed place in the Tang Dynasty, and it was very capable of raising people.

When the Tang Dynasty was divided in the late Tang Dynasty, there were many small countries in the Jiangnan region.

Ten of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Southern Wu, Southern Tang, and Wu Yueke were all secessionist regimes near the south of the Yangtze River.

The cultural layer of the Tang Dynasty here in Liangzhu is also very rich.

It may be the reason that it has never been excavated, and it has also unearthed porcelain pieces such as sauce glaze, yellow glaze, green glaze, black glaze, white glaze, sand gray, red and black pottery, muddy gray, red pottery pieces, and the recognizable shapes include porcelain bowls, porcelain jars, porcelain cups, pottery pots, bricks, etc., and iron nails have also been found.

In terms of richness, it is even a little richer than the cultural layer of the Song Dynasty.

Even because of the difference in soil quality and soil color, the cultural layer of the Tang Dynasty can be divided into two sublayers.

It is also possible that two sublayers of the Tang Dynasty, one belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and the other may have belonged to the Northern and Southern Dynasties period earlier than the Tang Dynasty.

Because most of those cultural relics were unearthed in the upper 4A layer, the number of soil relics in the lower 4B layer is small, but the utensils are similar to the 4A layer, so they are divided into the same cultural layer.

However, after the fourth layer of the Tang Dynasty cultural layer, the Liangzhu area immediately fully showed the atmosphere of "wild land".

As we all know, further before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Jiangnan region, especially the Zhejiang region near the sea, was not a good place, and it belonged to a place where wild people ran everywhere.

Sun Wu, who occupied this place during the Three Kingdoms period, had to fight against Shanyue in the territory every year, and the so-called Shanyue was actually a branch of the Baiyue people.

The level of productivity is basically a little bit more advanced than that of the late Neolithic period.

Iron smelting, smelting bronze and the like can't be done at all, and their own tribes use iron and bronze all by robbing the Han people.

Usually, they are running around in the mountains, and when they have nothing to eat, they go down the mountain to attack a wave of Han people.

This is not surprising either.

After the Westerners pointed out the gunpowder technology, when the world colonized everywhere, the technological generation gap between them and the local natives was even more outrageous.

When the Chinese civilization had entered the Three Kingdoms period, there were still a large number of Baiyue people in the tribal period in the south of the Yangtze River, which was not surprising.

That is, the old Sun family, three generations of people have worked tirelessly to suppress Shanyue, and when Sun Quan is old, the Shanyue in the Jiangnan area has been cleaned up.

This was the opportunity for the Sima family to travel south later.

Otherwise, if the Sima family wants to cross to the south in good clothes, then they will have to have a big war to destroy Baiyue by arm, how can it be so smooth in history.

is also because the timeline is further back, and there are no cultural people here in Jiangnan.

So after reaching the fifth layer of soil, the timeline was directly pulled to the Zhou Dynasty.

In the fifth cultural layer, unearthed sand-filled red pottery pieces, primitive porcelain and printed hard pottery pieces, sand-filled pottery pieces are not high, most can not be extracted, and the recognizable shapes include pottery balls, stone adzes and primitive porcelain bowls, beans, etc.

These unearthed pottery shards are full of the style of the Zhou people, and have the style of Wu Yue.

This is also understandable.

Zong Zhou, Jiangnan is not a nobody, it belongs to Wu Guohe and crosses the rule.

Three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu, the famous Wu and Yue countries, at that time it was also regarded as Zhou Wenhua's radiation area, and it was also regarded as the development of the Jiangnan region.

However, only a little bit has been developed, and there are no high-end utensils except for pottery shards and primitive bowls, beans and other utensils.
