4、学）博物馆教授葛维汉（美籍）及助手林名均于1933年底带领考古队进驻月亮湾，取得了大量的考古资料和文物标本。这些文物标本在很长的一段时间里,被称为“广汉文化遗物”。发掘:1933年的发掘是三星堆遗址历史上第一次正式发掘，自此引发了半个世纪的三星堆遗址考古。以后的几十年里，几代考古学人相继在这块土地上不懈地耕耘探索，取得了丰硕的成果。东、西、南三面城墙的确认，大型宫殿遗址的发掘清理以及数以万计文物的出土，尤其是1986年7月至9月间，两个大型祭祀坑的相继发现，上千件文物精品洋洋洒洒地横空出世，震惊了全国轰动了全世界。根据半个多世纪以来考古调查发掘资料的汇集，可将三星堆遗址的文化层次分为新石器时代
5、和夏、商、周四个大的时代。在这四个时代中，小平底陶罐、圈足陶豆、高柄豆等典型器物在不同时期的形制，基本上反映出这一文化连续发展的关系及连贯性。大型青铜立人像、纵目人面像、八鸟四牛尊、金杖、戴金面罩青铜人头像、青铜神树等。三星堆文物作为罕见的、集群展现的人类上古史奇珍，有许多器物是世界上独一无二的。三星堆青铜器每一件都有其独特之处，其光怪陆离、奇异诡谲的造型不愧是稀世之珍。bronze sacred treebronze animal-face imagebird-shaped ornamentpottery pot wall paintingSpeaking Task on P84 These
