Are archaeologists really inferior to grave robbers in digging graves?

? Many tombs were first disturbed by grave robbers and then discovered by archaeologists. Some archaeologists even discovered ancient tombs through grave robbers. Why are grave robbers so powerful? Archaeological excavation is to study history and culture, in addition to research, but also to protect historical relics, and the purpose of grave robbers is only property. Grave robbers have no bottom line, and their excavation is destructive and predatory. There are many capable people among grave robbers. As far as mastering professional knowledge is concerned, some people are even as good as professional archaeologists, but they are very rare.

Tomb raiding, a shady "occupation", has been passed down from generation to generation through the relationship between mentoring and mentoring. You can't find an ancient tomb without a skill. Most grave robbers rely on Luoyang shovel to judge the soil quality, and what's more, they can also see the trend of topography and geomantic omen. The archaeological team didn't have advanced instruments before, and the technology may not be as good as those grave robbers! Archaeology is a boring job, and the income is not as high as expected. Nowadays, many young people are reluctant to engage in this industry, because there is not much difference between archaeological work and grave robbery notes!

In order to get valuable things quickly, grave robbers tried their best to use new technical means. Their purpose is to find funerary objects. But technically, archaeologists may not be as skilled as grave robbers, or not as skilled as grave robbers at all. But if excavation and research are systematic, how can grave robbers compare with professional archaeologists!

? First, archaeologists are divided into many fields, such as plant archaeology and animal archaeology. Plant archaeology is divided into plant fossil archaeology, micro-plant fossil archaeology and agricultural archaeology. Animal archaeology is divided into many parts, including vertebrates, invertebrates and lower animals, while ancient humans are divided separately.
