    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] "Sleep for thousands of years, wake up and shock the world.
    " Mention the Sanxingdui site in Guanghan, Sichuan, the world commented.
    The Sanxingdui site is known as one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of mankind in the 20th century, showing that the Yangtze River Basin, like the Yellow River Basin, belongs to the matrix of Chinese civilization and is known as the "source of the Yangtze River civilization.

    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    After a lapse of 34 years, and further exploration, the ancient ruins of Sanxingdui have brought us many surprises.
    Recently, archaeological discoveries in Sanxingdui continued to dominate the screen.
    Golden masks, bronze figures, bronze statues, jade congs, jade walls, gold leaf.
    .
    .
    More than 500 important cultural relics have been unearthed in the six newly excavated "sacrifice pits" of Sanxingdui culture.

     

    From the live broadcast of the Sanxingdui archaeological excavations for several days, we can see that in addition to a large number of exquisite cultural relics unearthed, the concept of fine excavation in archaeological excavations, the use of a variety of modern technological methods, the construction of a new model of preventive protection of archaeological excavation sites, It has established a new* for my country's future archaeological excavations and research.

      When it comes to archaeological excavations, I believe that what many people have in mind is that in the desolate soil pits, the staff held small brushes and small shovels, digging up the soil with their bare hands, taking out the cultural relics, and sending them to the laboratory, numbering, Registration.
    .
    .
    It seems that archaeology has always been connected with long history and traditional manual work, and has never been connected with high technology.
    However, the exposure of the Sanxingdui excavation site made countless netizens lament that archaeology turned out to be such a "cool" thing!
     

      It can be seen from the video of the Sanxingdui excavation reported by the media that the archaeological excavation site was covered by a large-span steel structure greenhouse with several transparent glass "archaeological cabins" covering the six newly discovered "sacrifice pits".
    These "archaeological cabins" can not only control the temperature and humidity of the excavation site, but also reduce the staff's introduction of modern microorganisms and bacteria.

     

      In addition, various *equipment* in the "archaeological cabin".
    At the excavation site of the sacrificial pit, eight 4 million starlight-level network cameras and one industrial panoramic camera are installed, which are dedicated to the entire recording of the archaeological process, which can be transmitted to the on-site emergency consultation room in real time, and the remote cultural relic consultation function can be realized through the expert consultation system.

      From the live broadcast of the Sanxingdui archaeological excavations, we can see that the scientific and technological level of archaeological excavations and cultural relics protection has been greatly improved, especially in the analysis and detection of cultural relics.
    The use of modern scientific instruments provides more detailed historical information for the restoration of cultural relics.
    The data provides another pair of "eyes" for cultural protection experts to reveal the "password" of ancient times.

     

      It is understood that the excavation of the sacrificial pit at the Sanxingdui site was officially started after the completion of a series of professional laboratories at the excavation site.
    A few steps away from the "archaeological cabin", there are various laboratories such as the emergency detection and analysis room, the emergency protection room for micro-trace objects, and the cultural relics restoration museum.
    The laboratories are equipped with many high-precision high-tech instruments.

     

      For example, a video microscope that can see the details of cultural relics, a hyperspectral imager that can analyze cultural relics' material, water content and other information on the spot, as well as scanning electron microscopes, X-ray diffractometers, laser Raman spectrometers, high-frequency oscillators, centrifuges , and high-light microscopes , Portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF), three-dimensional scanners and other scientific instruments, ancient cultural relics, with the blessing of modern scientific instruments, once again "vibrant".

     
    Centrifuge
      Wang Chong, deputy director of the Cultural Relics Protection Center of the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, said in a CCTV interview: "The information of cultural relics can be restored through the analysis and detection of instruments to restore the living and production conditions at that time.
    The instruments are equivalent to another pair of "eyes" of cultural protection personnel.
    , Can restore the original historical information of the cultural relics to a greater extent.
    "
     

      In the corner of the archaeological greenhouse, organic laboratory, inorganic laboratory, emergency analysis laboratory, micro-mark emergency protection laboratory, cultural preservation studio, and archaeological studio are lined up.
    This time, the excavation of silk fabric traces and carbonized rice that are almost invisible to the naked eye The remains of bamboo, bamboo and broad-leaved forest tree species are found here, and archaeologists have used various high-tech instruments to find them.

     

      In the Sanxingdui archaeological excavation, we have many high-tech instruments.
    Modern high-tech and ancient sites coexist harmoniously here.
    This excavation has opened up a new milestone in archaeology.
    It is believed that with the blessing of high-tech instruments, all mysteries can be solved, making the ancient Chinese civilization amazed by the world.
