A man works on the excavation of terracotta warriors unearthed from a site in Weishan, 02 December 2002, in Shandong Province, Northern China. Two villagers were planting trees in the area on November 23 when they found the ruins and reported it to local officials. It has been determined that the terracotta warriors date from the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), a later period than China's most famed terracotta warriors found in the ancient capital of Xian from the Qin Dynasty (221 BC - 207 BC).
