探讨考古学问题


The students are very interested in the pottery splicing, they discuss and glue the pottery pieces to the right position to truly feel the process of cultural relics restoration; the experience program of drilling wood to make fire is also very popular. The students are interested in observing and trying to experience the ancient people's fire-making scene. Animal and plant remains are important materials for restoring the life of ancient people, and also important objects for archaeological excavation. The animal remains and charred plants on display attracted students from different disciplines to view and discuss.

留学生对陶器拼接十分感兴趣，他们边讨论边把陶片粘到合适的位置，真切地感受文物修复的过程；钻木取火体验项目也非常受欢迎，留学生饶有兴趣地观摩并跃跃欲试，体验古人生火的情景。动植物遗存是复原古人生活的重要材料，也是考古发掘的重要对象，展示的动物残骸和炭化植物吸引了多位来自不同学科的留学生驻足观看。

The success of this event has enabled international students of UCAS to increase their knowledge and understanding of Chinese archaeology and history through interactive exchanges. Active participation in the event can also help international students integrate into the local culture and campus life, and we expect international students to pay more attention to and actively participate in the International Archaeology Day and other public archaeology activities.

本次活动的成功举办，使国科大的国际留学生们在互动交流中增加了对中国考古学的认识和理解，这对国际文化交流具有重要意义。积极参与活动也可以帮助留学生尽快融入本地文化和校园生活，我们期待留学生更多的关注并积极参与到“国际考古日”和公共考古的活动中来。
