Chapter 487 The difference between archeology and collection
"Mr. Li is indeed an expert on the Forbidden City. He can tell the age of this thing at a glance. I admire it!"
Ma Shiwei raised his fists and said to Li Yang with a smile, with a look of admiration on his face. He was not pretending, he really admired Li Yang, but he could immediately infer from the surface that the age was not the same.
Easy, at least the time Li Yang mentioned was much more detailed than what he referenced.
"Professor Ma, please don't praise me yet. I've already finished what I said. Now it's your turn to introduce it to us, so that we can learn from it too!"
Li Yang chuckled lightly, and looked at Ma Shiwei curiously. Li Yang also wanted to know what such things looked like in the eyes of archaeologists, and how they differed from the opinions of their forensic experts.
Ma Shiwei smiled slightly, looked down at the pair of little lions, and then looked up at everyone.
"This pair of little lions are newly unearthed cultural relics. They were unearthed no more than a month ago..."
"It's not more than a month, how can you tell?"
Before Ma Shiwei finished speaking, Tang Xiaoxiao interjected a question. Li Yang frowned slightly, and finally sighed softly. This girl's IQ is very high, but her emotional intelligence is very low. She doesn't know what to do at all.
Deal with people.
Ma Shiwei was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and then said: "It's easy to see, the nightmare soil above told me!"
Ma Shiwei pointed at the dust on the little lion, with a bright smile on his face, not at all angry at being interrupted by Tang Xiaoxiao.
"Nightmare Earth?"
Li Yang frowned slightly. He seemed to have heard of this term, but he couldn't remember it clearly. He definitely didn't see this name in books. He would definitely remember it if he saw it in books.
"Yes, it is nightmare soil. Nightmare soil is actually a kind of burial soil in ancient times. It was specially used by the royal family and nobles. This soil is similar to today's clay and has a certain antiseptic effect. In archeology, nightmare soil is only found in Mongolia.
It was used by the Liao people, and the nobles of the Western Regions later adopted better sealing techniques, and no one is using this nightmare anymore!"
Ma Shiwei nodded slightly, and Li Yang stopped talking. He gradually remembered where he had heard this word.
At the last exchange meeting, an expert seemed to have mentioned this term. A treasure he picked up also contained nightmare soil. The expert did not explain the specific process clearly, so Li Yang did not pay special attention to it.
"How do you know that what's up here is Nightmare Earth?"
Tang Xiaoxiao asked again. He Jie frowned slightly, and finally shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, Ma Shiwei had a good temper. If he were a violent expert, he would probably get angry if he was questioned continuously like this.
"Dr. Tang, this is our professional knowledge. The ash in the nightmare soil is white, and it will still have the smell of rotten wood three months after it is unearthed. The longer the time, the weaker the smell. This is very bad for the smell of rotten wood on the lion.
So thick, I infer that it was unearthed less than a month ago!”
Ma Shiwei raised his head and smiled. He didn't care at all about Tang Xiaoxiao's question and explained it directly.
"Also, the nightmare soil has strong adhesion, and the longer it goes, the less likely it is to fall off. Have you noticed that there is a bit too much dust on the stone lions?"
Ma Shiwei said again, and several people looked at the pair of stone lions curiously, even the special soldier Gao Yong was no exception.
“That’s a lot indeed!”
He Jie finally nodded. Many of the stone lions had this kind of dust on their bodies. At first, He Jie thought that the dust was caused by not cleaning it up. But now he realized that it was not the case. It was the dust that stuck to it on its own.
On the stone lion.
Ma Shiwei stretched out his hand, pinched off some of the dust on the stone lions, and said with a smile: "The stickiness of the soil can also be used to infer the time when the pair of stone lions were unearthed. According to my observation, the pair of stone lions were truly unearthed.
The time is between 21 and 27 days, which is between three weeks and four weeks!”
"Awesome, you are so right!"
Suddenly there was a voice next to him and he praised him. Li Yang and the others all turned their heads. A middle-aged man wearing a black casual jacket and a big beard was looking at Ma Shiwei in surprise. This man was in his forties.
It seems that Li Yang walked out of the store while they were squatting here, and has been listening to them.
"Are you the boss here?"
Ma Shiwei stood up with a smile, and there was still a scholar's temperament in his body. At this time, Ma Shiwei looked like a real senior archaeological expert, completely different from the time when he took the initiative to make friends with Li Yang on the plane.
"My surname is Han, I am Han Chinese, and I am also the owner of this store!"
The middle-aged man with a beard hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, and extended his hands to shake Ma Shiwei's hand. His eyes were full of admiration.
"Boss Han, can I take the liberty to ask you where this pair of things came from?"
Ma Shiwei asked again. The pair of little lions had been unearthed, which meant that a nobleman's tomb had recently been discovered. Ma Shiwei still felt a little regretful in his heart.
The shape of this pair of little lions is the rain lion from the Western Regions. It is an auspicious beast that prays for peace. In Chinese, it is dragon and lion. It is generally an auspicious beast used by royal nobles to guard tombs.
Lions of this shape were common in the ancient Liao, Mongolian, Xixia and Uighurs. Ma Shiwei concluded that these lions should be used by the nobles of the Western Liao Dynasty. Since they were nobles, the tombs would not be so small. It is a pity that Ma Shiwei is now
It is useless to find this ancient tomb. The lions guarding the tomb are all wandering outside. The fate of the tomb can be imagined.
"My brother-in-law gave this to me and asked me to sell it on his behalf. My wife is a Tibetan woman, and my brother-in-law is also a Tibetan!"
Boss Han said softly, and then said hurriedly: "My brother-in-law picked these things up next to a newly dug tomb about twenty days ago. He picked up the tomb a few days ago.
It’s been dug up!”
Boss Han looked like a rough guy, but he was actually very thoughtful and knew some laws and regulations, so he explained it specially, unlike his brother-in-law who didn't read many books and didn't understand it at all.
It was precisely because of his understanding that he admired Professor Ma so much. This ancient tomb was indeed excavated more than twenty days ago. His brother-in-law told him when he sent these things over, but they just looked at them.
He said it so accurately in just a few glances, he is indeed a man of real ability.
"Did he get dug up? What a pity. I didn't expect there would be grave robbers in *** too!"
Ma Shiwei nodded, with a look of regret on his face. He had thought that *** was an undeveloped land, but he didn't expect that the tomb robbers had already reached here.
"Professor Ma, awesome!"
He Jie suddenly stretched out his thumb, and Li Yang also had deep admiration in his eyes. Li Yang could tell the age of these things, but he definitely couldn't tell how long it took them to be unearthed. This is *** and archeology.
the essential difference.
"He Shao, you have given me the prize!"
Ma Shiwei chuckled lightly and shook his head: "I must do a project after I go back this time. Regarding *** issues, the situation here needs our careful attention!"
Several people were silent. This was a matter within Ma Shiwei's profession. Even if they wanted to express their opinions, they didn't know what to say. Even Li Yang couldn't get involved. It can also be said that there is a big difference between archeology and ***.
.
"Boss Han, can I ask another question?"
Ma Shiwei turned around and asked the rough-looking shop owner. The bearded Boss Han nodded hurriedly: "You tell me!"
"I would like to ask you where your brother-in-law found these lions, and how much do you plan to sell them for?"
Ma Shiwei was very interested in this ancient tomb, but he also knew about this mission. He wanted to ask about it and then come to inspect it after the mission was completed, or inform his colleagues and ask them to come and take a look first, even if
It is an ancient tomb that has been stolen, and it also has certain research value for archaeologists.
"My brother-in-law is from Zada County. These lions were picked up from them. I don't know where they are exactly!"
Boss Han shook his head. Li Yang and He Jie were slightly stunned. Zada County, isn't this the place they are going to this time?
"As for the pair of lions, you can take them if you want. I can see that you are a real expert. It may be more useful to have them in your hands!"
Boss Han looked at the pair of lion cubs placed at the door, and said slowly that he gave these pair of lion cubs to his brother-in-law in order to sell them for a hundred yuan, but seeing that the other party was someone who understood these things, he also
I didn't dare to ask for money. The origin of this thing was not legitimate after all.
"Money still has to be given. It's not easy for you to open your business. I'm very grateful that you are willing to tell me so much!"
Ma Shiwei shook his head, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out three red bills. The maximum number of these two little lions left outside was one hundred and one, but the shop owner was so honest that he was embarrassed to give less.
Boss Han hurriedly declined, and the two argued for a while. In the end, Ma Shiwei bought the pair of lion cubs for 100 yuan. It is illegal to buy and sell such things. Ma Shiwei knows this, but this phenomenon is very common in China.
, this is not the first time for him to buy unearthed things, he has long been used to it.
The two little lions were not heavy, so Ma Shiwei asked the store owner to get two plastic bags and carefully put the little lions in, intending to take them back and study them carefully when nothing happened.
Ma Shiwei stood up, and Li Yang slowly walked towards the store.
There is another good thing in the store. Now everyone seems to be leaving. I don’t know when I will come back to buy it next time. I don’t know if this thing will be here next time.
Li Yang could only take the initiative and walk inside first.
This store mainly sells some Han souvenirs. In fact, Han things also have a bit of Tibetan style. Han things are not very popular here.
There were many wooden Buddha statues and wooden boxes inside. Li Yang stood next to a shelf and carefully looked at a wooden rectangular bowl-shaped object on it. This was what he accidentally discovered under the three-dimensional picture.
something.
