[quote=ROGERINCA ,25725]Authentication of The Terra Cotta Warriors and HorsesIn the Shaanzxi province, the Terra Cotta Warriors are the archaeological find of the 20th century. It is the mausoleum of the first Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang, who was buried with a wealth of artifacts and treasures. The site now was turned into a museum and is a must on any serious tourist's itinerary. Featuring life size terra cotta figures of ancient warriors and other artifacts that have been scientifically authenticated as belonging to the Qin dynasty are on breathtaking display.Fieldwork in the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum is a good example of a multidisciplinary scientific approach to archaeology. Located in Xi'an in Shaanxi Province this massive mausoleum is the tomb of Qin Shihuang (259-210 BC) the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty. During the 1970s and 1980s remote sensing probed the mysteries of his burial. It had lain undisturbed for over 2,000 years. In the 1980s aerial photography established the location of the double walls of the mausoleum and the disposition of the famous formations of terra cotta warriors and horses.Researchers turned to an interdisciplinary approach when excavating the terra cotta warriors and horses. For example they combined geological methods with digital technology to collect and process data on the air and soil. These data have contributed to research into the changing climate and environment from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) through to the Qin (221-206 BC) and Han Dynasties (206 BC-AD 220).[/quote]
