Chapter 265 The End of the Archaeological Journey: Protecting the Heritage of History

After two weeks of intense and fulfilling field investigations, the archaeological work has now quietly come to an end. However, the complexity of the finishing work is no less than the previous excavations. Every link is closely tied to the integrity and scientific nature of the archaeological results. The team members dare not relax at all.

Early in the morning, the team members got up early and quickly got down to work with a sense of solemnity different from usual.

The first group that Gu Fanxing was in was responsible for the final cleaning and inspection of the excavation site.

They carefully inspected every excavated area, not missing any tiny anomalies, trying to capture historical information that might have been overlooked in the previous busyness.

The team members all focused on the work at hand.

Xiao Li carefully cleaned the remaining dirt on the walls of the tomb passage, fearing that he would disturb the ancient tranquility.

Suddenly, his brush touched a hard object. Xiao Li's heartbeat instantly quickened. He gently used his hands to push away the soil, revealing a small copper object.

"Fanxing, come and look! There's something here!" Xiao Li shouted excitedly.

Gu Fanxing quickly rushed over, squatted down, and carefully observed this new discovery.

"It looks like an ancient accessory with exquisite craftsmanship. It should have certain research value."

Gu Fanxing said, with excitement gleaming in his eyes.

They carefully took out the bronze accessory, put it into a special cultural relic bag, and numbered it according to established rules. They also recorded the location, depth and surrounding environmental information of the discovery in detail for subsequent in-depth research.

Just as everyone was concentrating on cleaning the cultural relics, suddenly, a low roar was heard in the sky, and a drone flew from nowhere and hovered over the site.

"Oh no! How come there is a drone? It may cause damage to the ruins!" Instructor Zhang Mingrui shouted.

The team members suddenly became nervous. They stopped their work and looked at the sky vigilantly.

Zhang Mingrui quickly contacted the local cultural relics protection department and relevant management agencies, reported the emergency, and organized the team members to take emergency measures.

Some team members waved red warning flags on the ground, trying to drive away the drone, while other team members quickly covered the cultural relics areas that had not been completely cleaned and protected with waterproof cloth to prevent the drone from capturing details of the cultural relics or causing damage to the cultural relics due to accidental falls.

After some tense negotiations, the drone finally flew away. The team members breathed a sigh of relief, but they also realized that safety protection work still needed to be strengthened in the final stage.

On the other side of the burial area, Ling Jiuer was leading the team to conduct the final check and sorting of the unearthed cultural relics. They checked the number, status and storage location of the cultural relics one by one according to the list of cultural relics to ensure the safety of the cultural relics in the subsequent transportation and storage process.

"It is not easy for these cultural relics to be presented to us intact after thousands of years. We must protect them so that more people can understand the glory of ancient civilization." Ling Jiuer said softly, her eyes full of awe.

For those cultural relics that were slightly damaged during the excavation process, the team members will use professional methods to carry out preliminary repairs and reinforcements based on the material and degree of damage of the cultural relics.

In the surrounding area of the site, the second team of members are dismantling the various surveying marks and temporary facilities that had been built previously.

They carefully dismantled each wooden stake and pole, restoring the remaining traces to their original state as much as possible to protect the natural appearance of the site.

Suddenly, when Xiao Wang was pulling out the wooden stake, he used too much force and his foot slipped and he almost fell down. The wooden stake in his hand almost hit Xiao Zhang who was next to him.

"Be careful!" Xiao Zhang exclaimed and quickly supported Xiao Wang.

"Are you okay? Everyone must pay attention to safety when working, and no accidents can happen in the finishing stage." The team leader hurried over to check the situation and reminded everyone again.

At the same time, the third group of members were busy organizing archaeological tools and equipment in the camp. This work seems simple, but it actually requires a high degree of care and patience.

Xiao Chen is responsible for counting the Luoyang shovels. He carefully checks whether the shovel head is worn and whether the shovel handle is firm. After confirming that everything is correct, he gently puts it into a special storage box.

Kobayashi was sorting out brushes of various types. These brushes played an important role in cleaning cultural relics. Some of the bristles had been bent and deformed and needed to be replaced.

Xiao Wu, who was responsible for organizing the surveying and mapping instruments, encountered some minor trouble.

When he was packing the level, he found that the bubble of the level was slightly off-center, which would have a great impact on the accuracy of the instrument.

He quickly took out the calibration tool and made careful adjustments.

However, due to his nervousness, his hands were shaking slightly, and the first adjustment was not successful, and the bubble moved even further away.

Xiao Wu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and started operating carefully again.

This time, he concentrated all his attention, staring at the bubble, and his hands moved precisely and slowly. Finally, the bubble slowly returned to the center.

"That's great!" Xiao Wu showed a relieved smile on his face.

In the afternoon, the sun became hotter and the finishing work entered a critical stage.

After the first group completed the on-site cleaning and inspection, they began to assist the second group in the final packaging and reinforcement of the cultural relics.

They wrapped the cultural relics with layers of soft sponges and foams, placed them in special wooden boxes, and secured them with tape and ropes to ensure that the cultural relics would not be hit or damaged during transportation.

At the same time, the surveying and mapping personnel were also busy. They used professional surveying and mapping instruments to accurately survey important relics such as tombs and house sites, and drew detailed floor plans, cross-section drawings, etc.

At the same time, photography, video recording and other means are used to record the ruins in their entirety and in detail from multiple angles, providing comprehensive information for subsequent research.

During this process, the team members also carried out special treatment on some more fragile cultural relics.

For those pottery with damage, they used professional repair materials to carry out preliminary repairs and fixes to prevent further damage during transportation.

"These cultural relics carry the memories of ancient civilizations. We must do our best to protect them and return them safely to the laboratory for more in-depth research and restoration." Gu Fanxing said to his teammates while carefully wrapping a cultural relic.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire site golden, and the finishing work was finally coming to an end.

All the cultural relics were safely packed, the archaeological tools and equipment were sorted out, and the camp returned to its former tranquility, as if a tense and fierce archaeological excavation had never taken place here.

The team members stood in front of the ruins, silently gazing at the land where they had fought for two weeks, their hearts filled with emotion and reluctance.

Although they are about to bid farewell to this land that carries countless stories, they know that this is just a comma, not a period! Every drop of their sweat, every persistence, every cheer and every moment of tension have become the cornerstone of this historical monument. The excavated cultural relics will travel through time and space with ancient stories, telling the world about the glory and mystery of the past.

And they will continue to fearlessly embark on a new journey with this honor and mission!

The road ahead may be full of thorns, but they firmly believe that as long as they maintain a reverent attitude towards history and a spirit of exploration into the unknown, nothing can stop them from uncovering the mystery of history.

They will let the light of history penetrate the fog of time, illuminate the path forward for human civilization, and add their own dazzling light to the brilliant starry sky of archaeology!
