该句暂无译文!

第2段

1 .<-FEMALE PROFESSOR:-> OK, so, as we know, archaeologists discover objects from past civilizations—

该句暂无译文!

2 .stuff like old pottery, old tools, even sometimes old bits of fabric...

该句暂无译文!

3 .and they examine these artifacts to learn about past civilizations.

该句暂无译文!

4 .But why are some artifacts preserved well enough to last for thousands of years

该句暂无译文!

5 .while others just wear away and disappear?

该句暂无译文!

6 .Well, a lot of it has to do with the environmental conditions in the area where the artifacts are found.

该句暂无译文!

7 .Artifacts are preserved better in environments where the bacteria that cause decay are less likely to grow.

该句暂无译文!

8 .So let's look at two environmental conditions that discourage bacterial growth

该句暂无译文!

9 .and thus help preserve archaeological artifacts.

该句暂无译文!

第3段

1 .One environmental condition that inhibits bacterial growth, and helps preserve artifacts,

该句暂无译文!

2 .is [slowly] aridity,

该句暂无译文!

3 .uh, lack of moisture.

该句暂无译文!

4 .Bacteria that cause decay can't survive well in dry environments,

该句暂无译文!

5 .and artifacts don't decay as fast in arid climates

该句暂无译文!

6 .without much moisture.

该句暂无译文!

7 .So, many of the best-preserved archaeological artifacts have been found in such climates.

该句暂无译文!

8 .For example, in the deserts of Egypt, archaeologists have found tombs more than two thousand years old

该句暂无译文!

9 .with brightly colored wall paintings in them.

该句暂无译文!

10 .And those wall paintings?

该句暂无译文!

11 .Well, their colors were still as clear and bright as a painting made today.

该句暂无译文!

第4段

1 .Another environmental condition is lack of oxygen.

该句暂无译文!

2 .Bacteria, like all living things, depend on oxygen to grow,

该句暂无译文!

3 .so when there's no oxygen present,

该句暂无译文!

4 .they can't grow and cause decay.

该句暂无译文!

5 .So artifacts are usually well preserved when they end up in environments that contain little or no oxygen

该句暂无译文!

6 .like, for example, the bottom of the ocean,

该句暂无译文!

7 .which is where archaeologists found an ancient ship that had sunk

该句暂无译文!

8 .and settled into the mud at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

该句暂无译文!

9 .The ship was carrying vases,

该句暂无译文!

10 .and the vases were still intact and remarkably well preserved.

该句暂无译文!
