1.ARCHEOLOGISTS UNVEIL MAJOR FINDINGS FROM SANXINGDUI RUINS
三星堆千年宝藏“开盲盒”时间到！
Archaeologists【考古学家】 today released their major findings at six newly found sacrificial pits at the Sanxingdui Ruins site in Sichuan Province.
四川省文物考古研究院今日（9日）发布三星堆遗址新发现6个祭祀坑的重大考古成果。

More than 500 cultural relics were discovered, mainly from pits 3, 6, 7 and 8. The excavation【发掘】 process has entered the final stage at Pit 3, where a gold mask has already been unearthed. It’s the first intact mask to be unearthed as previous ones were all fragments. Archeologists said it was likely attached to a bronze head.
三星堆又上新了500多件文物，主要来自于3号坑、6号坑、7号坑和8号坑。3号坑的发掘工作目前已进入收尾阶段，并首次出土了一件完整金面具，此前发掘的金面具均为残件。专家推断，该面具可能是附着在青铜头像脸上的。

An intact jade cong with sacred tree pattern was also unearthed from Pit 3, which will allow archeologists a chance to study the meaning and symbolism of the sacred tree in ancient society.
3号坑还出土了一件刻着通天神树的玉琮，为今人研究古蜀社会中神树的意义、象征等问题提供了重要依据。

At Pit 6, a jade blade was found. Jade blades are believed to have been used in ritual ceremonies so they were usually not sharp. But the newly found blade is an exception.
在6号坑内，则发现了一把玉刀。特别的是，玉器在古代一般是礼器，并不锋利，但这把玉刀却是开了刃的。

INTERVIEW:
Li Haichao, Professor，Sichuan University
黎海超四川大学教授
We found a very exquisite jade blade in a wooden box from Pit 6. It’s a really nice piece in terms of its material and craftsmanship【工艺】. Jadeware is usually found together, so we’re expecting to find more pieces nearby.
我们在6号坑木箱的箱底，发现了一件非常精美的玉刀，这个是非常非常漂亮的，无论从材质，从工艺，从哪个角度来讲，都是三星堆玉器的一个精品。这种非常好的东西，我们按照一种习惯上，按照这种逻辑来推测的话，它往往不是单独出现的，所以不排除下面有更多的玉器或者其他的器物出土。

They also found something made of wood in Pit 6. It’s 190 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide. Wrapped in mud, it weighs 500 kilograms. The excavation team says they had to cut it out of its wooden box to lift it out of the ground, a process that took three days.
6号坑内，还有一件神秘的残木器重见天日。这件木器长约190厘米，宽度仅有20厘米，连同附着的泥土，重达半吨。考古人员不得已对它实施了切割手术，整整耗时三天才将这件木器成功提取出土。

INTERVIEW:
Xu Yandong，Excavation Team Member
许延东三星堆遗址祭祀区考古工作队成员
Cutting it with a regular chain saw would have damaged it, so we used a wire saw. It takes longer, but damage is minimized. But I still feel sorry that we had to cut it.
硬性切割伤害比较大，所以咱们采用的一种方式就是用绳锯以柔克刚的方式，慢慢慢慢把它进行断开，最小损失状态，保证它的完整性。说老实话我都心疼。

A large number of items made of ivory were unearthed from pits 7 and 8. They were also difficult to excavate.
整个7号、8号祭祀坑则铺满了象牙遗存，同样提取难度极大。

INTERVIEW:
Zhang Baorui，Excavation Team Member
It’s like opening a blind box. You never know what’s under the ivory artifacts. I hope I can tell others that I discovered them under ivory pieces when these findings become exhibits in a museum one day.
就跟开盲盒一样，永远不知道象牙下面有啥，就希望以后进博物馆的时候能给随行的同伴们说一下，这个器物是当初我掏象牙的时候，在象牙下面亲手发现的。

Archeologists have already found nearly 10,000 artifacts at the Sanxingdui Ruins since March.
自今年3月三星堆发掘重新启动以来，已出土文物近万件。
