Chapter 894: Both Host and Guest Enjoyed Themselves

In the conference room, the four professors sat upright, and the students also craned their necks—not to say they were thirsty for knowledge, but at least they didn't oppose knowledge flowing through their brains.

Jiang Yuan was quite satisfied with this. He had drifted through ten provinces, and although the criminal police in many places followed orders and observed discipline, they were not very passionate about knowledge. This point didn't have any impact on daily case-solving, but it did affect the mood of the knowledge outputter.

Jiang Yuan nodded. "After going back, after I carefully examined these remains, the first discovery was the relatively common bone morphological changes of the maxillary sinus. Half of the remains had such a situation in the maxillary sinus, suspected to be long-term sinusitis of the maxillary sinus."

Maxillary sinusitis is the most basic rhinitis. But at today's meeting, Jiang Yuan naturally used the precise names commonly used by anthropologists, without having to translate them into rhinitis.

The jargon among peers is very natural and necessary. They are more accurate and simpler than common language. It's like saying "333" when playing games, instead of seriously typing "please retreat." Fashionable men and women form a CP at an electronic music festival, instead of saying a friendly agreement of not interfering with each other after a few days of temporary hookups.

In addition, the nasal sinus has four cavities, so it is necessary to clarify that it is the maxillary sinus.

Professor Tao Yajie, who was present, said "Eh," "Is there as much as half? I didn't notice it."

"There are a few that are relatively hidden, but the bone morphological changes are clear." Jiang Yuan signaled Wang Chuanxing to display the PPT he had stayed up all night writing.

In the PPT, after Jiang Yuan enlarged the photos of several skulls, he also thoughtfully drew red circles, making it clear to see the bone morphological changes.

Students including Wang Weiqing made "Oh" sounds of sudden realization and couldn't help but discuss in low voices.

A student couldn't help but speak, "A large number of individuals have sinusitis. Does this indicate that the climate at that time was relatively cold and dry?"

"Was there air pollution at that time?"

"Is it possible that the official family used coal or charcoal for heating? Would there be such a situation? It is said that the high mortality rate of princes in the Ming Dynasty was related to the charcoal used for tribute."

"It could also be that there were epidemic diseases at that time..."

Jiang Yuan and others let the students discuss. These are all arguments summarized in textbooks or previous papers. It is also good to use them as the basis for the first round of evidence at this time.

With the students' discussion, several professors and other teachers in the same group also began to join the discussion one after another.

Jiang Yuan himself was very willing to have someone complete the subsequent analysis part. For anthropology, the discovery that most people have sinusitis is equivalent to drawing auxiliary lines when solving geometry problems. The problem is for everyone, and the figure is for everyone, but before someone draws the correct auxiliary line, the problem cannot be solved.

And after the auxiliary line is drawn, the subsequent steps to solve the problem are relatively simple. It can even be said that the better the auxiliary line is drawn, the simpler the steps to solve the problem.

Jiang Yuan finished talking about the sinus problem in just a few sentences, but the relevant discussion proceeded very naturally.

Tao Yajie hesitated and asked Jiang Yuan in the middle, "Would it be too much of a waste of your time?"

After all, it didn't take long for this person to catch a group of tomb robbers.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand. "I just happened to learn about everyone's ideas."

What he said was also the truth. Participating in this work at the university was because he was interested. Otherwise, he would just not participate.

Tao Yajie nodded with a smile. "Although young people's discussions are relatively shallow, their ideas are quite good, and there are often innovative points."

"It's just right for me." Jiang Yuan was slightly modest, which was also the truth. Everyone's discussion was not just about anthropological topics, but more about archaeological content. Just surrounding anthropology, it could also let him understand some relevant content. If it is necessary to learn later, it will be targeted.

Of course, it would be good if he could pick up handy legacies in the future.

"The Yong Wang tomb is a very rare large tomb in the country where the main tomb is basically complete. Our paper plans to start from the lifestyle and funeral rituals..." Tao Yajie started talking and introduced the idea of the paper to Jiang Yuan, and added, "This time, being able to find the cultural relics in the robbed tomb, especially being able to have relevant photos, can be said to be a perfect condition..."

As she said this, Professor Sun on the side also agreed. "Indeed, the route we are taking this time is still relatively leading in the country... Of course, with Teacher Jiang's help, being able to find the funerary objects in the tomb completely, this is also unique in the country..."

"I feel that cutting in from the point that Yong Wang's kneeling surface traces are obvious is also a very good direction. We generally believe that by the Yong Wang period, kneeling was not common, but from the situation of this skeleton, at least Yong Wang himself and his family still retained the habit of kneeling." Tao Yajie took the opportunity to enter the discussion state.

Jiang Yuan heard this and said, "I was just about to say this point. The obvious traces of the kneeling surface are actually mainly Yong Wang and his wife. I personally checked some literature materials of the same period and saw some photos. I personally think that the identity of the personnel who choose to kneel is closely related to religious belief."

"Buddhism?" Tao Yajie couldn't help nodding. "This reason is very sufficient. We indeed found a large number of Buddhist scriptures in the funerary objects."

"Buddhism conflicts with the funeral ritual, right?" Professor Sun raised an objection.

"This point of funeral, perhaps related to Yong Wang's son." Tao Yajie responded.

Soon, the other few also joined the discussion here.

Immediately after, Wu Jun also began to participate. He had his own unique insights into the funerary objects, shapes, rituals, etc. in the tomb. Although his foundation was a bit poor, he could also chat with several archaeologists.

The atmosphere of the discussion meeting was exceptionally harmonious.

Jiang Yuan waited quietly until get-off work time. After seeing Wu Jun exchange contact information with several people, he invited everyone to have a meal together.

The restaurant had already been set, a very good mountain delicacy restaurant.

As everyone knows, large tombs must be built in large mountains surrounded by mountains. Therefore, where large tombs are unearthed, the taste of mountain delicacies is good. Especially where new large tombs are unearthed, if it is still an undeveloped mountain ridge, it shows that its environment has been good since ancient times, and the mountain delicacies produced in the region naturally have the advantages of orderly inheritance and stable genes.

Therefore, if you have money and leisure, don't have to go to work, and don't have family burdens, if you want to eat mountain delicacies, you can completely follow the address of the newly excavated large tomb and look for farmhouse entertainment or professional mountain delicacy restaurants nearby.

Jiang Yuan used some of the social funds given by his father to treat everyone to wild game such as legally hunted wild boars.

Both host and guest enjoyed themselves. ===== CHAPTER 895 =====
