Two archeologists are cleaning the terra-cotta warriors.

Visitors are watching a terra-cotta warrior in the Xi'an-based terra-cotta museum.

Archeologists have found over one hundred colored clay figures at the site of the Terracotta Army in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, since the third excavation of the site started in June last year.

The 114 terra-cotta warriors in the 200-square-meter No.1 pit, the largest of all three pits, are mostly infantrymen.

But some of them have been damaged, apparently because these recently discovered terracotta warriors are almost 2 meters high, much higher than others found previously, and that the smaller ones tend to be better preserved.

Although some of the original colors have faded after more than 2,000 years, archeologists can still tell the color of the figures’ hair - either black or brown.

According to the archeologists, terracotta warriors are adorned differently according to their skin color. Figures with pink or pinkish white skins are usually painted in bright colors. There are six types of “costumes”.

In addition, archeologists also say they have found evidence that there was a fire at the site. But they are carrying out more research to try and determine if it was a consequence of a raid by General Xiang Yu, less than five years after the death of the First Emperor, as many have long claimed.

The third excavation of the site will continue until the end of the year.
