2,200-year-old bronze swords, artifacts unearthed: photos
A team of archaeologists discovered ruins and artifacts dating back 2,200 years in Shaoxing, China. The findings included plates, tripods, decorative ornaments, swords, pottery, porcelain, metalware, bamboo, wood artifacts, animal and plant remains. The sites, known as Tingshan, Nanshantou, and Nanshan, date back to China’s Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States era, which lasted from 770 B.C. until about 221 B.C. Among the ruins, a large ceremonial public building was found at the Tingshan site, and an ancient wharf known as the Linshui Wharf was identified. These discoveries provide critical insights into China’s ancient civilizations.
