Date: 15 Oct - 20 Dec 2018
Venue: University Library, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Only through the “touching the ground” experience, can we understand the meaning of material culture in the past and explain to our contemporaries why we need to care about archaeological ruins. Our students learned a wide range of fieldwork skills and techniques through these meaningful archaeological internships. More important, the hands-on experience provides a great chance to them for better understanding the Bronze Age civilization in Sichuan and the Jiangkou sunken treasure legend. To team up with the underwater archaeology group, we want to present not only the fascinating archaeological experience “From the Mountains (Sichuan) to the Sea (Guangdong)” but also provide the general public some reflections inspired by these internships such as the variety and diversity of ancient civilizations in China and the role of Guangdong and Sichuan on the ancient Silk Roads. You are all cordially invited to visit this upcoming exhibition and attend the following activities.

Abstract:四川廣漢市的三星堆遺址是古代蜀國的中心都城,這裡曾有著名的三星堆“祭祀坑”的發現。隨著成都平原青銅時代考古的快速發展,三星堆遺址考古工作的全面推進,以及兩個器物坑文物復原研究的新成果,我們對三星堆遺址、三星堆文化和三星堆古代國家也有了全新的認識。講座分前後兩部分,第一部分是從三星堆遺址入手,對三星堆古城的演變、佈局、規劃思想及其影響提出了新看法;第二部分是從三星堆“祭祀坑”的器物入手,結合新的考古發現,對三星堆國家的族群構成、統治集團、宗教觀念和社會狀態進行新的闡釋。
