As
a part of the mausoleum, the
terracotta warriors have dazzled the world. But the materials
unexcavated are also worth studying.Archaeologists
working over several decades have discovered and excavated several
dozen construction sites covering tens of thousands' of square meters,
including the most important large tomb, gardens, temples and houses.
The 50 meter long flagstone apron, 55cm square plinth stones, drainage
ditch, finely crafted stone water drainage system and red interior
walls show the architectural skill and magnificence of the construction
itself.
Many
other tombs, unrelated to the Qin Mausoleum, have been found, including
ruins at the Five-Ranges Dam, the Zhengjia Village Stone Processing
Site and the Fish-pond Site. Ministers, princesses and princes, the
famous and the not so famous were inhumed there.The
burial pits for horses, rare birds and pottery figures were ever regarded
as the sacrificial objects to the Emperor. Hence the remains from
these tombs and pits are beneficial for archaeologists to make further
research.
