Under normal circumstances, the archaeological team is archaeology in the field, but in fact, there are many underwater archaeology, these years the archaeological team found a lot of ancient shipwrecks, such as Heze ancient shipwreck, South China Sea No. 1 shipwreck, etc., we will continue to introduce an ancient shipwreck from the Ming Dynasty Wanli years.
It was in 2007 in Nan'ao Island County, Shantou City, Guangdong Province, when the fishermen here went to the sea to fish as usual, did not expect that when diving into the water, an ancient shipwreck full of porcelain appeared in front of him, needless to say that the fisherman was really extremely stupid at that time, so many treasures, to be honest, not red eyes are fake.
However, this fisherman chose to look at the national righteousness, he immediately reported this major discovery with the local cultural relics bureau, and it did not take long for the Nan'ao County archaeological team to come here, and then immediately sent underwater archaeologists to dive into the seabed to investigate the end, and soon confirmed that this was an ancient shipwreck from the Ming Dynasty.
The next step is naturally to report to the higher cultural relics department, and then begin to formulate a set of detailed underwater archaeological actions, it can be imagined that this underwater operation is really very difficult, many people think that underwater archaeology is not very exciting? It is estimated that the tomb robbery film and television drama is stupid, underwater archaeology is actually very difficult, and many unexpected things will be encountered during the period.
At that time, in order to prevent the destruction of tomb robbers in the middle of underwater archaeology, experts also specially requested border guards to help patrol, and the decision proved to be very wise, in the next 3 years of underwater archaeology work, Yun'ao Border Police Station drove away more than 2,000 suspicious ships, and also seized more than 100 cultural relics.
In the three years of hard work, the Guangdong archaeological team has cleared out more than 30,000 pieces of porcelain, as well as other pottery, metal utensils, etc., which can be said to be an extremely huge harvest.
Of course, not all of these more than 30,000 pieces of porcelain are extremely precious, many of them are extremely ordinary folk kilns, and their value is not very large, but for archaeologists, this large number of folk kiln porcelain also has its great value, and may be able to uncover many unsolved mysteries from them.
In any case, the discovery of the "Nan'ao No. 1 Ancient Ship" is also of great historical significance, especially the tens of thousands of cultural relics unearthed have shocked the entire archaeological community.
