洛阳铲,黑驴蹄子,无人机……这些东西在这里用得上吗?
无论是《盗墓笔记》
还是《鬼吹灯》,
最近几年,
“盗墓”类IP的衍生作品
层出不穷。
前不久完结的《终极笔记》
在豆瓣拿下8.1分的高分,
部分剧情的还原度,
也让“稻米”高呼满意:
稍早一点播出的《龙岭迷窟》里,
潘粤明、张雨绮和姜超塑造的“铁三角”,
更是好评如潮
然而在这样一波波
“探险寻宝”、“盗墓摸金”的热潮后,
也意外的激发了广大年轻观众对于
文物追溯、古迹挖掘等考古工作的关注。
不过,现代的考古工作,
可绝非是胡八一和吴邪那样,
拿着黑驴蹄子“下地升棺发财”。

带你揭秘考古学
考古考什么?
根据《大英百科全书》的描述,
考古学是研究
人类制作、使用和遗存的事物的学科;
目的是为了了解之前的人们什么样、
如何生活等等。
所以考古会包括研究古墓、
古代遗迹
以及文物等等。
寻找、挖掘、绘图、分析、重建等,
也都是考古工作中的重要组成。
Taking a look below the earth
When talking about archaeology, we usually picture a group of people digging in the dirt. They put together the things they collect and find out the stories behind them.
These are all things archaeologists do. According to Encyclopedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), archaeology is the study of things that people made, used, and left behind. Its goal is to understand what people of the past were like and how they lived. For example, archaeologists study tombs (坟墓), city ruins (遗迹) and cultural relics (文物). They try to find out how ancient people made tools, why they moved around, and what customs were like in their times.
考古靠什么?
小说和剧作中的黑驴蹄子是没有的,
不过“挖土神器”洛阳铲,
却是必备!
当然也包括指南针、喷壶、刷子这些
“传统工具”;
以及无人机、全站仪、VR技术等
科技设备
这些都给了考古工作者更多选择。
考古有什么成果?
“南海Ⅰ号”可以说是
现在大家眼中的
“网红”考古成果了。
“南海Ⅰ号”宋代沉船发现于1987年,
2007年运用沉箱进行整体打捞,
2019年船货清理取得阶段性成果。
沉船中共出土18万余件文物精品,
对研究我国乃至整个东亚、
东南亚的古代造船史、陶瓷史、
航运史、贸易史等
有着重要意义。
“南海Ⅰ号”整体打捞和保护发掘工作
伴随我国水下考古30余年发展历程,
是我国水下考古事业快速发展的缩影,
堪称世界水下文化遗产保护的典范之作。
除此之外,还有哪些考古工作吸引了大家眼球呢?
Nanhai No 1 shipwreck in Guangdong
During the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), China’s overseas trade (海外贸易) was growing fast. Nanhai No 1 was a ship that people used to send goods abroad at the time. However, it sank (沉) in the sea near Guangdong Province.
Chinese archaeologists found Nanhai No 1 in 1987. It was China’s first underwater archaeological exploration (探索) project. In 2007, the shipwreck (遇难船只) was taken out
of the water. It is now at the Maritime Silk Road Museum in Yangjiang, Guangdong.
More than 180,000 relics (文物) have been found on the shipwreck, such as porcelain (瓷器), gold and silverware (银器). These findings are quite important for research into the history of shipbuilding, ceramics (陶瓷工艺), and trade in ancient China and the whole of East and Southeast Asia, according to experts.
