[Explanation] Every job has value, and every worker deserves attention.
A group of "post-90s" workers at Sichuan University will let you see history.
On April 10th, the reporter walked into a group of "post-90s" archaeologists, starting from their work, to explore the charm of archaeology.
At the archaeological site of the Sanxingdui site, Wang Zuodan, a second-year graduate student of the School of Archaeology, Culture and Science of Sichuan University, skillfully put on protective clothing, entered the archaeological work cabin where the "sacrifice pits" No. 5, 6, and 7 were located, and started work.
In addition to cooperating with the excavation and cleaning, she also needs to record the daily excavation in detail, so that a complete excavation record report can be formed later.
The reporter saw that Wang Zuodan’s 5-centimeter-thick field archaeological work log has been written in half. The neat handwriting records in detail the specific conditions, three-dimensional coordinates, cultural preservation measures, advancement of excavation work, and excavation ideas. .

We hope that it is more scientific, more reasonable, more detailed, and more complete, so that there will be less omissions and more information. This is from a small point of view and from many points. I hope that I can master my future research direction. Some new ideas, new opinions, and some new ideas and ideas that are more valuable for others to refer to in the future.
[Explanation] In fact, there are more than 200 archaeologists involved in the excavation of the six newly discovered "sacrifice pits" in Sanxingdui, of which more than three quarters are "post-90s" and PhDs.
They will carefully clean up every fill in the "sacrifice pit" in centimeters, and they will be proficient in using various "black technologies" to protect and restore the unearthed cultural relics. They will also paint creative graffiti on the outside of the protective clothing, at the ancient Sanxingdui site. The above shows the strength and vigor of the new generation of Chinese archaeologists.

The impression that archaeology gave to everyone before seemed to be a lifeless and rigid impression.
But with the participation of some young people, we will find that our archaeological site is also full of youthful vitality.
During the live broadcast of Sichuan University, two classmates wrote "The Great Wall will never fall" behind their backs and "Please call me a red scarf" aroused heated discussions on the Internet. This shows the lively side of our young archaeologists. .
[Explanation] In fact, most of the "post-90s" who participated in the excavation of the "sacrifice pit" have had field archaeological experience.
Lu Zemin, a student of Sichuan University born in 1999, was responsible for the record of No. 7 "Sacrificial Pit" and the excavation of No. 6 "Sacrificial Pit". She had previously participated in the excavation of the Zhaoguodong site in Gui'an New District, Guizhou, and the Haimenkou site in Jianchuan, Yunnan.

When I went to visit Pit No. 3, I stood by the side of the pit and watched the whole pit of bronze and ivory.
At that time, I felt very dazed. I felt as if I had gone back to the past. Then I seemed to see the ancestors of Sanxingdui when they were offering sacrifices, and they might be telling a hope for a better life in the future.
At that time, I felt that through these things, I was walking with them, and I felt that they would have a dialogue with them, and then I felt that this in itself is one of the charms of archaeology.
[Explanation] The No. 7 "sacrifice pit" where Yang Hairong, a senior at Sichuan University is located, has not yet been excavated at the artifact level.
The 8 hours of filling and cleaning work a day for more than a month may seem a little boring to others, but in the eyes of this "post-90s" girl, "there is something new every day."

I think our greatest significance now is that we are not going to dig treasures, but to understand the behavior of the ancients, to understand his process of landfilling, because in the first and second pits, it was a relatively missing part, and we are now renewing To unearth these sacrificial pits, we hope that we can make up for these missing things. I think this is the biggest significance of our excavation of fill soil.
[Explanation] Ma Yongchao, the teacher of the School of Archaeology, Culture and Science of Sichuan University who led the team to carry out the archaeological work of Sanxingdui is also a "post-90s".
In his view, the new generation of archaeologists is enjoying the dividends of the technological age and keeping up with the current pace of social informatization, while also sticking to the excellent traditions left by the older generation of archaeologists.
