Anhui found Han Dynasty tombs, but unearthed a small number of Tang Dynasty cultural relics, experts: tomb robbery tools are also valuable

If you want to say that the archaeology team hates the most, the number one is the cultural relics dealer. After all, there is no killing without buying and selling, if it were not for those mercenary cultural relics dealers, how could the tomb robbers have channels to sell the stolen goods? Over time, there will be no grave robbers. The second-ranked man was naturally the tomb robber, but once the archaeological team had to carefully preserve the tools of the tomb robber.

This matter is about the tomb of Wang Han in Lu'an, Anhui Province, which was excavated in 2006, and the person who first discovered this ancient tomb was not an archaeological team, nor was the tomb robber too moved to be discovered. It was accidentally discovered during the construction of the high-speed rail, after which the high-speed rail naturally stopped for a period of time, waiting for the final ruling on the ancient tomb, if it is precious, it can only be bypassed.

Later, the archaeological team naturally carried out rescue excavations of this ancient tomb, or even called rescue excavations? As the name suggests, this ancient tomb has reached a critical moment, although the discovery of the tomb is not a tomb robber, but the construction team is full of people, if the tomb is not excavated, then the tomb robbers will steal after getting the news.

Later, after the preliminary survey by the archaeological team, it was found that this ancient tomb is definitely not simple. The length of the sealed soil has reached an astonishing 47 meters, although there will be a slight deviation from the time of the initial burial, but this ancient tomb will only be a prince and a general, and even the imperial tomb is possible.

The most excavated burial chamber is 17 meters long and 12 meters wide, but this is not something that really excites the archaeological team. The faint smell of the aroma in the excavation really mentioned the spirit of the archaeological team, and the experienced archaeologists had a guess in their minds at this time, is this fragrance not emitted by the yellow intestine?

It was finally determined that the burial method of the tomb was indeed a yellow intestine, but the burial chamber had been stolen many times. But even so, more than 500 cultural relics have been unearthed in the tomb, and even the fruits of many crops, which are valuable research materials. However, there are a few cultural relics that the archaeologists are eager to destroy, that is, some Tang Dynasty axes, pottery bowls and ropes.

Tang Dynasty relics will appear in the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty, and the answer is almost ready. That is to say, these antiquities were brought in by tomb robbers, so the archaeologists would be eager to destroy them, but although these artifacts were brought in by tomb robbers, they are also real cultural relics, and they are also cultural relics from the Tang Dynasty.

In the end, the archaeological team still did not do this kind of damage to cultural relics, if it did, then the archaeological team would be no different from the tomb robbers. These antiquities were also carefully put away later, and if one day there is a tomb robbery museum, then these Tang Dynasty antiquities may become the treasures of the town museum.
