Yanshanzhai changed the academic community’s understanding of the origin process of Lingnan civilization
The reporter learned from the final review meeting that Neolithic archaeology will have fruitful results in 2023, so the competition for projects during this period is particularly fierce. Among the 22 final review projects, 8 of the 22 final review projects belong to the Neolithic Age, and 4 were finally selected. Chen Xingcan, an expert representative of the judges, researcher and director of the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, emphasized that the 22 projects entering the final evaluation have important academic value and important scientific significance, regardless of whether they are finally selected or not.
Babaylan 1990 cloth draw Chen Xingcan took the “Guangdong Yingdeyan Mountain Village Site” in the Neolithic Age as an example and believed that the Yanshan Village Site changed the understanding of the origin of civilization and the social complexity of the Lingnan region. “We lacked understanding of Lingnan in the past. Now, it has entered a complex social stage 4,800 years ago. The origin of civilization is actually synchronized with the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Komiks 1960 witch cloth drawchanges our perception of the degree of social development in this region. “He said.
In answering reporters’ questions, he also introduced that this year, the 22 Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw‘s 22 Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw‘s temporal space-time range covers a wide range, from the “Tibet Gejimelongdapu Cave Site” in the Paleolithic Age 100,000 years ago to the “Hongshi Mazi Site in Panshi City, Jilin Province” 80,000 years ago. This is unprecedented in terms of time range. At the same time, 22 projects range from the southeast coast to the northwest border, Komiks 1960 witch cloth DrawFrom the 4700-meter Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the western South China Sea, Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawThe underwater shipwreck 1500-meter underwater on the north slope, the space is vast. The 22 final evaluation projects also reflect outstanding characteristics such as multidisciplinary cooperation, fine excavation, and unprecedented improvement in cultural relics protection awareness.
The earliest complex society that can be confirmed in Lingnan area
Yanshanzhai site is located in Qinghai, Guangdong Province. The Lan Village, Qingtang Town, Yingde City, Yuan City is located in the middle of the mountainous area of northern Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta, with an area of about 100,000 square meters. From 2019 to 2023, the Guangdong Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, in conjunction with Sun Yat-sen University, Peking University and other units continued to take the initiative in the site. The excavation area was 2,900 square meters, and important relics from the Neolithic Age to Xia and Shang dynasties such as tombs, ash pits, ash ditches, column holes (groups), stoves and burning mounds were cleared, and important relics from the Neolithic Age to Xia and Shang dynasties were unearthed. Jade, pottery, and grinding stone tools were unearthed. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan 1990 cloth drawBronze ware, Babaylan 1990 cloth drawMore than 4,300 specimens of various cultural relics, such as human bones and plant remains.
According to Liu Suoqiang, the project leader and director of the Pre-Qin Archaeology Institute of Guangdong Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, the archaeological excavation of the Yanshanzhai site has achieved many aspects of gains. The most important harvest is the discovery of large cemeteries of the late Neolithic Age at the Yanback site. The exploration confirmed area is about 5,000 square meters, the exposed area is 1,200 square meters, 93 tombs were cleared, and more than 1,200 burial objects such as jade, pottery, and stone tools were unearthed. The cemetery has clear zoning and grouping planning, and it is the largest and clearest structural layout of Shixia cultural cemetery seen so far.
There are significant gaps between the rich and the poor and the hierarchical differences between the tombs in different areas and groups of the Yanbei cemetery. Among them, the highest-level M16 has as many as 145 burial objects, including 5 jade axes and 74 stone horns, and the M26 is buried with jade cong and jade axes at the same time. The Yanbei Cemetery clearly reflects the accelerated social differentiation around 4,800 years ago and forms institutionalized burial customs. This is the earliest complex society that can be confirmed in the Lingnan region during the origin of Chinese civilization.
At the same time, the dating data for the Babaylan 1990 cloth draw rock-back tombs are concentrated between 5,000 and 4,000 years ago, which updates previous understandings of the total and the depth of the Shixia culture. Through the multi-level dissection of typical tombs, the burial process was completely restored, and a clearer understanding of the burial customs of Shixia culture was found.
The most important archaeological discovery in Lingnan Neolithic era
The rocks under continuous archaeological excavationKomiks 1960 witch cloth drawThe importance of the copycat ruins has been widely recognized by the industry and has been 2021Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw was announced by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage as a major project achievement of “Archaeological China”.
Liu Suoqiang pointed out that the archaeological achievements of the Yanshanzhai site confirm that Lingnan has entered a complex social stage around 4,800 years ago, and show the role of diversified integration in the civilized process of Lingnan region. It also reflects that Lingnan has a regional social complex model that is different from the Yangtze River Basin. The draw style.
Not only that, abundant rice remains were found in the tombs, buildings and ash pit ruins of the Yanshanzhai site, indicating that the middle reaches of the Beijiang River are a crucial intermediate node on the rice farm agricultural transmission route from Lingbei to northern Guangdong to the Pearl River Delta, and are also an important node for Lingnan to integrate into the process of Chinese civilization integration. The discovery helps to reinterpret the Shixia culture and the Lingnan region in the archaeological cultural regional types.
Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw reporter learned that since the 2023 National Top Ten Archaeological New Discovery Selection, the participation dynamics of Yanshanzhai site have been obtained from Guangdong ArchaeologyBabaylan 1990 cloth drawThe industry is closely watching. At present, the Yanshanzhai site is still being excavated. With the subsequent development of its archaeological and research work, it will remain a strong competitor in this important national archaeological award in the future.
The excellent base for archaeology students to move to the fields
Yanshanzhai Ruins are a cooperative project between the Guangdong Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and the School of Sociology and Anthropology of Sun Yat-sen University to build the “Guangdong Field Archaeology Research Base”. Since 2020, students of Sun Yat-sen University majored in archaeology have successively gone to the Yanshanzhai Ruins to complete field archaeology internships.
The reporter learned that field archaeology internships is a professional compulsory course for undergraduates of Sun Yat-sen University’s Archaeology Department. They are generally held in the first semester of junior high school and lasting for one semester. Yanshanzhai Ruins cover ancient timesKomiks 1960 witch cloth drawpeople’s tomb area and living functional area. Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw teachers and students mainly carry out practical training in field archaeological excavations in the living functional area.
Zhou Fanwen said that there is currently a large gap in front-line archaeological talents, so archaeology students are required to master the basic operating procedures for field archaeological excavation before graduation. During the six-month internship, students entered the construction site for field archaeological excavation in the first three months, followed by the unearthed artifacts, and finally formed internship results that were preliminary judgments on the age, nature, and cultural appearance of the excavated area.
In addition, teachers will also encourage students who want to continue their studies and guide them to use first-hand archaeological data to carry out follow-up research. Zhou Fanwen believes that such training is very helpful for students to carry out higher-level research in the future and is their first ladder toward the academic hall.
Zhou Fanwen also Babaylan 1990 cloth draw said: “Our students are very lucky to be exposed to the archaeological excavation of the Yanshanzhai site at the introductory stage. This is an archaeological site selected as the result of the major project of ‘Archaeological China’. On-site participation undoubtedly provides them with the most complete and systematic training.”
Continue to promote the construction of Qingtang Archaeological Site
The archaeological excavation team of the Yanshanzhai site, and its members also include staff from local cultural and museum institutions. Liu Jianwen, director of Yingde City Museum, is one of them Babaylan 1990 cloth draw and has participated in a lot of practical work. Liu Jianwen said that local museums do more assistive work, such as providing restoration sites for unearthed cultural relics, and coordinating the relationship between the archaeological team and local villagers. He emphasized: “The most difficult archaeological excavation work is done by professionals, and what we can do is provide them with the most convenient logistical support.”
But as a native Yingde native, Liu Jianwen is deeply proud of his hometown having such a major archaeological discovery. He told reporters: “I am very honored to be able to participate in such an important archaeological excavation project. This is a rare opportunity in our career for our grassroots cultural and museum workers. At the same time, we are deeply responsible for the great task of Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw. Next, we must assist in the continuous excavation of the site, as well as the protection, interpretation and display of the site.Wait for work. ”
Liu Jianwen also stated that the local area is actively promoting the construction of Qingtang Archaeological Site Park. It is reported that the standard scope of Qingtang Archaeological Site Park is centered on the distribution of the remains of Qingtang ruins and Yanshanzhai ruins. It was approved by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2022 to be included in the fourth batch of National Archaeological Site Park project list.
“From Guangdong Province to Qingyuan City, and then to Yingde City, leaders at all levels attach great importance to the progress of Qingtang archaeological ruinsCinema 1950 witch cloth draw park. The investment required for park construction is very large and involves coordination and linkage between multiple parties, so it cannot be achieved overnight. I believe that the public and media attach great importance to the Yanshanzhai site and the “Early Lingnan Origin Exploration Project” will create a better atmosphere of research and construction. “Liu Jianwen said.
