Latest discoveries in China include never-before-seen artefacts, including war drums and a painted shield
More than 310 pieces newly excavated in total
Excavations in China have unearthed a stunning new collection of 2,000-year-old terracotta warriors and hundreds of other artefacts.
Archaeologists unveiled 120 new terracotta warriors yesterday at the Qin Shihuang Unesco World Heritage site in Shaanxi province.
The current excavation, which started in 2009, is the third at the site following two previous digs which were carried out in 1974 and 1985.
Painstaking: Archaeologists at work in the extended excavation of the Pit One of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum in Xian, China where they are measuring and recording the dimensions of the latest terracotta warrior find
Detail: The terracotta warriors are being carefully uncovered using delicate equipment to help preserve the detailed work in their original production more than 2,000 years ago
Slow process: The current excavation, which started in 2009, is the third at the Chinese site following two previous digs which were carried out in 1974 and 1985
The artefacts in western China were buried with the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty in the 3rd century BC.
The latest discoveries include never-before-seen items, including war drums and a dramatic painted shield. In total, more than 310 small pieces have been newly excavated as well as 12 clay horses.
The third excavation covers about 200 square metres in pit number one – the largest and the most visited of the Terracotta Warriors And Horses Museum.
