The academic seminar of Protection and Inheritance of Ancient Shu Civilization and the 10 th Anniversary of Discovery of the Guiyuanqiao Site was held in Shifang city of Sichuan Province from November 4 to November 5,2019,by Sichuan Province Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and Shifang Museum.Nearly 100 experts and scholars gathered to commemorate the 10 th anniversary of the discovery of Guiyuanqiao site,having a comprehensive and in-depth discussion on the protection and inheritance of ancient Shu civilization.The discussion content of the conference is as follows:Although there is still a gap between Period I and period II of Guiyuanqiao site,the cultural features of the three periods are the same and belong to the same cultural system.The remains of Period II and Period III are obviously similar to those of Period I of Sanxingdui site,belonging to Baodun culture.There is no doubt that Guiyuanqiao site acts as a bridgehead to the exploration of the origin of ancient Shu civilization.Firstly,ancient Shu civilization,rooted in Sichuan Basin,had close cultural exchanges with surrounding areas,although it is blocked by mountains.These frequent cultural exchanges may even be an important reason for the formation of ancient Shu civilization.The exchange and interaction between ancient Shu civilization and other cultures,carried and presented by concrete objects,is merely a representation,the exchange and interaction of ideas and consciousness is much more important.Secondly,although settlement archaeology has been carried out in China for more than 30 years,due to the inherent limitations of archaeological chronology,"synchronic"and"diachronic"problems are still unsolved.What’s more,it is very difficult to expose a settlement completely in present archaeological excavation.Any research on the structure and nature of the settlement inevitably falls into the dilemma of"blind men and an elephant".However,the settlement archaeology of Baodun site and Sanxingdui site seems to have found solutions to a certain extent.Both of them pay more attention to linear relics such as walls and trenches,dividing the functional areas of the settlement accordingly,focusing on the overall date,nature and changes of the functional areas.These methods and experiences will undoubtedly play a greater role in the study of settlement archaeology in the future.Thirdly,research on human skeleton in Gaoshan ancient city site and plant archaeological research such as wood identification in the cemetery of Shuangyuancun site indicate that more and more new techniques have been applied to the study of ancient Shu civilization.These new contents provide unprecedented new information,new ideas and new methods for the study of ancient Shu civilization.In summary,this meeting provided many useful ideas and pertinent suggestions for the future archaeological work,research,protection of Guiyuanqiao site and implementation of the Ancient Shu Civilization Protection and Inheritance Project.
