Chen Xingcan, an expert representative of the judges, researcher and director of the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, emphasized that the 22 projects entering the final evaluation have important academic value and great scientific significance, regardless of whether they are finally selected or not. Chen Xingcan took the “Guangdong Yingdeyan Mountain Village Site” in the Neolithic Age as an example and believed that the Yanshan Village Site was transformed into the China Examination.omicmov.com/”>Babaylan 1990 cloth drawThe ancient academic community’s understanding of the origin of civilization and the social complexity process of Lingnan. “We lacked understanding of this area in the past. Now, it entered the complex social stage 4,800 years ago. The process of origin of civilization is actually synchronized with the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which greatly changed our understanding of the degree of social development in this area. “He said.
He also introduced that the 22 projects shortlisted for the final review this year cover a wide range of time and space, from the “Tibet Gejimeilongdapu Cave Site” in the Paleolithic Age 100,000 years ago to the “Hongshi Mazi Site in Panshi City, Jilin Province” eight or ninety years ago. In terms of time, the 22 projects range from the southeast coast to the northwest border, from the 4,700-meter Qingcheng drawThe underwater shipwreck 1,500 meters underwater from the Tibetan Plateau to the northwest slope of the South China Sea, with a vast space range. The 22 final evaluation projects also reflect outstanding characteristics such as multidisciplinary cooperation, fine excavation, and unprecedented improvement in cultural relics protection awareness.
The earliest complex society that can be confirmed in Lingnan area
Yanshanzhai Ruins are located in Lan Village, Qingtang Town, Yingde City, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province. It is located in the middle of the northern mountain area of Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta, with an area of about 100,000 square meters.
From 2019 to 2023, Guangdong Komiks 1960 witch clothes drawThe Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, in conjunction with Sun Yat-sen University, Peking University and other units, continues to conduct active archaeological excavations of the sites, with an excavation area of 2,900 square meters, and clears out new tombs, ash pits, ash ditches, column holes (groups), stoves and burnt mounds. draw Important relics from the Stone Age to the Xia and Shang dynasties, more than 4,300 samples of various cultural relics such as jade, pottery, grinding stone tools, bronzes, human bones and plant relics were unearthed.
According to the project leader and director of the Pre-Qin Archaeology Research Institute of Guangdong Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, the archaeological excavation of the Yanshanzhai site has achieved many aspects of harvest. The most important harvest is the discovery of large cemeteries of the late Neolithic Age at the site behind the rock. The exploration confirmed area is about 5,000 square meters, the exposed area is 1,200 square meters, 93 tombs were cleaned, and more than 1,200 burial objects such as jade, pottery, and stone tools were unearthed. The cemetery can be seen with clear zoning and grouping planning.It is the largest Shixia cultural cemetery with the clearest structure and clearest seen so far.
There are significant gaps between the rich and the poor and the hierarchical differences between the tombs in different areas and groups of the Yanbei cemetery. Among them, the highest-level M16 has as many as 145 burial objects, including 5 jade axes and 74 stone horns, and the M26 is buried with jade cong and jade axes at the same time. The Rock Beard Cemetery clearly reflects the accelerated social differentiation around 4,800 years ago and forms institutionalized burial customs. This is the earliest complex society that can be confirmed in the Lingnan area of the origin of Chinese civilization.
At the same time, the dating data set of Rock Behind Tombs updated the previous understanding of the upper and lower limits of the Shixia culture era in 5,000 to 4,000 years ago. Through the multi-level anatomy of typical tombs, the burial process of Babaylan 1990 clothes draw was completely restored, and a clearer understanding of the burial customs of Shixia culture was obtained.
The Lingnan Neolithic Babaylan 1990 cloth draw The most important archaeological discovery in the era
Yanshanzhai site, which is being continuously excavated in the archaeological excavations, has been widely recognized by the industry and has been widely recognized by the industry in 2021Cinema 1950 witch clothes draw was announced by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage as a major project of “Archaeological China”Komiks1960 witch cloth draw results.
Liu Suoqiang pointed out that the archaeological achievements of the Yanshanzhai site confirm that Lingnan has entered a complex social stage about 4,800 years ago, and show the role of diversified integration in the civilized process of Lingnan region, and also reflect that Lingnan has a regional social complex model different from the Yangtze River Basin.
Not only that, abundant rice remains were found in the tombs, buildings and ash pit ruins of the Yanshanzhai site, indicating that the middle reaches of the Beijiang River where it is located is a crucial intermediate node on the rice farm agricultural transmission route from Lingbei to northern Guangdong and then to the Pearl River Delta, and it is also an important node for Lingnan to integrate into the process of Chinese civilization integration. The discovery helps to reinterpret the Shixia culture and the status of the Lingnan region in archaeological cultural areas.
The reporter learned that since the selection of the top ten new archaeological discoveries in the country was launched in 2023, the participation trends of the Yanshanzhai site have received close attention from the Guangdong archaeological industry. At present, the Yanshanzhai site is still being excavated. With the subsequent development of its archaeological and research work, it will remain a strong competitor to this important national archaeological award in the future.
The excellent base for students majoring in archaeology to move into the fields
Yanshanzhai Site is a cooperative project between the Guangdong Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and the School of Sociology and Anthropology of Sun Yat-sen University to jointly build the “Guangdong Field Archaeology Research Base”. Since 2020, students of Sun Yat-sen University majored in archaeology have successively gone to the Yanshanzhai site to complete field archaeology internships.
The reporter learned that field archaeology internship is a professional compulsory course for undergraduates of Sun Yat-sen University’s Department of Archaeology. It is usually conducted in the first semester of junior high school and lasts for one semester. The Yanshanzhai site covers ancient tombs and living functional areas. Teachers and students from Zhongda mainly carry out practical training in field archaeological excavations in the living functional areas.
Zhou Fanwen said that there is currently a large gap in front-line archaeological talents, so archaeology students are required to master the basic operating procedures for field archaeological excavation before graduation. During the six-month internship, students entered the construction site in the first three months.Field archaeological excavation, then the stage of sorting out the unearthed artifacts, and finally, internship results are formed to determine the age, nature, and cultural appearance of the excavated area.
In addition, teachers will also encourage students who want to continue their studies and guide them to use first-hand archaeological data to carry out follow-up research. Zhou Fanwen believes that such training is very helpful for students to carry out higher-level research in the future and is their first ladder toward the academic hall.
Zhou Fanwen also said: “Our students are very lucky to be able to contact the archaeological excavation of the Yanshanzhai site at the introductory stage. This is an archaeological site selected as the result of the major project of ‘Archaeological China’. On-site participation undoubtedly provides them with the most complete and systematic training.”
Continue to promote the construction of Qingtang Archaeological Site Park
The archaeological excavation team of the Yanshanzhai site, and its members also include staff from local cultural and museum institutions. Liu Jianwen, director of Yingde Museum, is one of them and has participated in a lot of practical work. Liu Jianwen said that local museums do more assistive work, such as providing restoration sites for unearthed cultural relics, and coordinating the relationship between the archaeological team and local villagers. He emphasized: “The hardest archaeological excavation work is done by professionals, and what we can do is provide them with the most convenient logistical support.”Babaylan 1990 cloth draw
But as a native Yingde native, Liu Jianwen is deeply proud of his hometown having such a major archaeological discovery. He told reporters: “It is a very honor to be able to participate in such an important archaeological excavation project of Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw. This is a rare opportunity for us grassroots cultural and museum workers to encounter in our careers. At the same time, we are also deeply rooted in our deepest witch cloth. draw feels a great responsibility, and we will assist in the continuous excavation of the site, as well as protection, interpretation and display of the site.Wait for work. ”
Liu Jianwen also stated that the local area is actively promoting the construction of Qingtang Archaeological Site Park. It is reported that the standard scope of Qingtang Archaeological Site Park is centered on the distribution of the remains of Qingtang ruins and Yanshanzhai ruins. It was approved by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage to be included in the fourth batch of National Archaeological Site Park project list in 2022.
” From Guangdong Province to Qingyuan City, and then to Yingde City, leaders at all levels attach great importance to the progress of the Qingtang Archaeological Site Park. The investment required for park construction is very large and involves coordination and linkage between multiple parties, so it cannot be achieved overnight. I believe that the public and the media’s high attention to the Yanshanzhai site and the “Early Lingnan Origin Exploration Project” will create a better research and construction atmosphere. “Liu Jianwen said.
