I Am Doing Archeology in Erlitou
About This Novel
This book is an interview with 15 people who have experienced the excavation, research, publicity, and protection of the Erlitou site: the special technicians who picked out the artifacts by hand, the master draftsman who traced the antiquities, the discoverer of the first bronze jute, the construction site workers who uncovered layers of loess, the ordinary villagers who guarded the site, the cultural relics cadres on the front line of cultural protection, and the volunteer interpreters of the museum, who are full of ideals. Interns... The interviewees ranged in age from their 70s to their 20s, and the topics covered ranged from the 1970s and 1980s to the present. Through interviews, a three-dimensional panorama of Erlitou's "life history" was spliced together, recording the footprints and mental processes of many archaeologists who encountered Erlitou, striving to restore a true portrait of the archaeological group and pay tribute to the unknown heroes behind the archaeological work. At the same time, the value of the Erlitou site is demonstrated to the public and the vivid story of Erlitou archeology is told.
