Chapter 347 (2/2)
”Boss, what did you find?” before Professor Xie Haiyan came, Wan bin, Lin lang'an and a large group of students came around.
”I don't seem to have found anything. Isn't it ordinary hardened ash?”
”Look here, there's a footprint here. It's very deep. Can't it be stepped down by ancient people?”
While everyone was talking, Professor Xie Haiyan came behind everyone, separated the crowd and walked to the place where Zhou Yi found the hard ash. She squatted down and gently brushed away the floating soil with her hand shovel. While blowing slowly, a very interesting moment appeared. Beside Professor Xie HaiYan's magical hand, an extremely clear footprint was exposed to the noon sun.
It's amazing. The students in class 2 of archaeology were surprised to open their mouths. More students took advantage of the topic to compare their feet, and ”analyzed” whether it was left foot and right foot, man's foot or woman's foot.
Professor Xie Haiyan continued to clean up the surroundings. As a result, no trace of the road was found, and there were no other footprints. Professor Xie Haiyan said that it may be that after the reed grass in the seaside land was burned to ashes, someone stepped on the reed grass and ash into the soft mud, so that it can be preserved for a long time. It's incredible!
”Teacher, don't you say that we used to be a vicissitude in this place? You know, it's a long way from the sea.”
”Even if it is not the sea, it is also a large lake. Have you noticed that the location of this grassland is very low-lying from the surrounding peaks?”
”Lin Xue, you bring the instrument for testing the soil age.”
After the test of the instrument, we all know that the playground in front of us was once an active surface of the pre-Qin era for more than 3000 years, that is to say, it was the footprints of the ancestors of the pre-Qin era.
3000 years? The interest of the students who had passed class 2 was raised. Carefully start cleaning the working surface in their own area.
”Teacher, I found a bone fossil. Look, is this a finger bone?”
A classmate soon shouted out. Xie Haiyan walked over, looked carefully, nodded and said, ”this is not a fossil, this is a human bone.”
The student screamed and hurriedly threw out the finger bone in his hand. But Zhou Yi was quick in his hand and eyes. He fished it all at once. No one saw when he came next to him.
”Classmate, this finger bone is really valuable. If I guess correctly, there must be more things below. According to the degree of calcification of this finger bone, we can roughly calculate that this is indeed the pre-Qin era 3000 years ago. However, looking at the lower edge of this finger bone, it is very neat. I'm afraid it's not as simple as natural death. Continue to dig deeply There may be more human bones. ”
”Teacher, don't scare me!”
”Classmate, we are engaged in archaeology. Of course, we should be interested in some ancient bones. This is a kind of respect for the ancients. Don't you think it's disrespectful to our ancestors to let these bones scattered in the wild? Besides, people are dead, you're afraid of hanging hair?” Wan bin also came together and talked shamelessly nearby.
Xie Haiyan quietly handed the small excavation shovel in his hand to Wan bin and said, ”it seems that Wan bin wants to continue his next work, so you continue to dig and let us all see what else is worth looking forward to?”
Wan Bin took over the shovel with some hardness under the eyes of the people, and dug down with a shovel. Xie Haiyan said to the students of class 2 Archaeology: ”Wan Bin's shovel is based on destruction. If there is really anything precious below, I'm afraid it will be severely damaged by this shovel.”
Wan bin was startled after listening to it. He said not to destroy any cultural relics, so he became cautious. After digging a few times, a white palm bone was exposed. Seeing that the palm bone was straight towards the sky, it seemed to be trying to catch something. The students of class 2 of archaeology were almost surprised.
”Meatball, are you ok? No, I'll come!” Zhou Yi led the army.
”Boss, I can. Don't worry.” although Wan bin was really shocked by the exposure of the white palm bone, he soon calmed down and told himself that these are the necessary processes of archaeology, and there is nothing terrible.
Wan bin carefully avoided the part of the palm bone and began to dig soil nearby. After loosening the surrounding soil, he finally exposed the complete palm bone. Zhou Yi picked up the finger bone of the first broken finger dug out before, and then matched it with the hand bone without a middle finger, which was very consistent.
This is an elbow level and broken palm bone. Although it has been weathered and buried for thousands of years, it can still be seen that there are obvious cuts on the elbow. In other words, the palm bone and arm bone in front of us are not the bones of people who died naturally, but were cut off by people.
At this time, curiosity had overcome his fear instinct. Wan Bin took the bones of his hand in his hand, carefully looked at the curious nature and said to himself, ”can't it be said that this was once an ancient battlefield?”
