When an excavator driver in Baoji accidentally discovered the ancient tomb during the operation, he took it back and filled it to continue construction. After archeological personnel rescued cleanup for several days, the 12 brick figures and more than 30 floral brick sculptures in the brick tomb of the Song Dynasty were protected.
On the 16th of this month, an ancient tomb with exquisite brick carvings was found on a construction site in Xiaolong Town, Jintai District, Baoji City. After Yan Mo, the excavator driver, did not report to the cultural relics department after taking pictures, he buried it and continued construction. After this matter was reported by the media, it attracted the attention of the cultural relics department and the police. The construction party was asked to stop the operation and Yan was also taken to the Public Security Jintai Sub-bureau to the Longlong police station for questioning. Experts from the Baoji City Institute of Archaeology then carried out rescue cleaning of the tomb.
At the beginning of the clean-up work, Liu Junshe, Director of the Baoji City Institute of Archeology, said with regret that the excavator Yan Mou should stop reporting operations immediately after discovering the ancient tomb. He backfilled and continued operations on the north side of the ancient tomb, causing some damage to the tomb dome.
After a few days of rescue cleaning, as of yesterday, the tomb was basically cleared, and the tomb that had been excavated by the excavator had already exposed its original appearance. To the delight of the archaeologists, the bricks in the tomb were relatively well preserved and fortunately escaped. In the tomb, archaeologists cleaned a total of 12 groups of brick characters and more than 30 floral brick sculptures. The content of the brick sculpture contains the 24 filial piety story. Liu Junshe said that the tomb should be a brick tomb in the Song Dynasty. From the tomb specifications, the owner of the tomb should be a wealthy family.
At present, archaeologists did not find other burial items in the tomb. In the next step, the department of cultural relics intends to extract the burial as a whole. If conditions permit, it is also possible to restore it. According to Liu Junshe, the brick tombs were more prevalent in the Song and Jin Dynasties. This burial was exquisitely brick-sculptured and has certain research value for understanding the changing process of productivity, building materials and decorative materials in the tombs.
