Professor Xu, what are the most important dangers to our archaeological treasures? X: They get damaged or lost.It’s a matter of education. People fail to take the right steps when something is found. Fortunately, the government has helped spreading the basic knowledge among the population, telling what is to be done when an archaeological find is made. J: What does that knowledge consist of? X: Well, when something is found, construction work must be stopped and the police should be told about the find. That is to make sure that no further damage will be done. J: Does it still happen that people do not report things they find? X: Yes, indeed. They doubt whether it is necessary to do so. It sometimes happens that a find is not very valuable. They are afraid that they would make scientists come for nothing. J: Are there other reasons why people don’t report their finds? X: Oh, yes. People are afraid that archaeologists may take a real interest in the site and spend many weeks or months digging around at it. That would result in farmers missing the right opportunity to plant crops or construction work to be stopped for a long time. They don’t realize that they should not weigh their own business interests against our national history. J：If it is so important to dig things up and collect them：Archaeology is a professional discipline. Years of training and experience are needed. It is not just added. The records must also state exactly what was found, where it was found and when. The outdoor work is followed by work in the lab，cleaning, restoring and identifying each artifact. Finally, when all is done，an analysis must be written and published in a magazine or a book. J: Are there any other dangers, natural disasters perhaps? X: Unfortunately there are treasure hunters
