China News Service, Guanghan, May 28 (Reporter Yue Yitong) "As of now, we have formed more than 30 patent applications for the research and development of scientific and technological archaeological equipment at the Sanxingdui site, including about 10 invention patents and more than 20 utility model patents. "As the person in charge of the main research and development party for the archaeological equipment at Sanxingdui site, Li Jun, general manager of Chongqing Sound Optoelectronics Zhilian Electronics Co., Ltd., recently stated in Guanghan, Sichuan that China is ushering in the "spring" of archaeological excavations and cultural relic protection equipment. It is promoted throughout the country and even countries along the “Belt and Road”.

A transparent multifunctional archaeological cabin filled with various advanced instruments, a personnel work platform that can be used to clear cultural relics in the air, a dedicated load platform for cultural relics, and various scientific and technological archaeological laboratories that are in front of the excavation site... New discoveries at the Sanxingdui site 6 After the preliminary announcement of the archaeological excavation results of a sacrificial pit, the various "black technologies" used in this archaeological excavation have allowed all walks of life to see different archaeological work.
So, how did scientific and technological power play a role in the archaeological excavation of Sanxingdui site?
Li Jun interpreted this.
Li Jun introduced that the cultural relics and archaeological equipment at the Sanxingdui site is actually a fusion of multidisciplinary equipment, supported by more than 20 equipment technologies, involving various disciplines of engineering, including instrumentation, truss technology, earthquake resistance and damping.
Among them, a personnel work platform that integrates a variety of equipment and technologies has realized non-contact archaeology between archaeologists and cultural relics. "This is the first in China and even in the world."

Li Jun revealed that the application of scientific and technological archaeology has been involved from the geological survey stage in the early stage of this round of excavation, and even adopted China's unique ground penetrating radar technology to determine the quantity and density of underground cultural relics.
In addition, multiple systems such as hydrological monitoring, soil detection, and geological collapse monitoring have been adopted.
"The application of these technologies is necessary and effective." Li Jun cited the role played by the hydrological monitoring system as an example. "The humidity of the cultural relics when extracted can be determined by judging the level of the groundwater level, so that the cultural relics can be underground. The state in which it is and when it was unearthed is very important to the cultural preservation work."
More equipment was used in the excavation process.
Li Jun told reporters that a series of "black technologies" such as airbag damping equipment, water damping equipment, cultural relic load platforms, and ivory nitrogen-filled protective boxes have all played their role.
"We are currently developing a huge boot that can be used for mine exploration. This kind of boot can greatly reduce the pressure, allowing archaeologists to stand in the sacrificial pit without putting pressure on the cultural relics. These equipment will be used in future archaeological work. To apply."

In Li Jun's view, in addition to the advancement of technology research and development itself, what is more important is the transformation of archaeological concepts.
The concept of scientific and technological archaeology puts the protection of cultural relics before the excavation of cultural relics, and fully applies the concept of preventive protection of cultural relics to the entire process of archaeological excavation.
The process of Chinese scientific and technological archaeological equipment from scratch is also the exploration and practice of building "Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese style" archaeology.
