On the technology of earthpit tomb severing and moving

在三峡巫山新石器时代遗址中 ,除大量精美的器物外 ,还有形制多样的葬式、葬俗。是大自然留给华夏子孙不可多得的宝贵资料 ,为了科学研究的需要和陈列的需要 ,必须对其整体切割搬迁。在切割装箱的工艺中采用了新型合成材料聚氨脂发泡剂 ,它重量轻 ,不受水源限制 ,顺利地完成了土坑墓整体切割与搬迁的任务。

In coordination to the Three Gorges dam construction, the State Bureau of Cultural Relics decided to excavate and salvage human historical sites and ancient tombs in the submerged area. Chongqing Archaeological Institute officially took the task to excavate Daxi site in 2000. Severance and movement of the earth-pit tombs in integrity were conducted in order to show the tomb traditions of the Neolithic age visually in the future exhibitions and facilitate study. In the process hard polyester plastic foam, a new material, was applied instead of the traditional material gypsum, which lightened the weight and overcome inconvenience in transportation on water. It also spared time and cost and conserved skeletons well, which made the movement of the earth-pit tombs successful.
