A skeleton of a person buried alive in a newly unearthed
tomb that dates back to the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) in Zhangjiachuan
Hui Autonomous County in northwest China's Gansu Province, November 16, 2006.
Previously the tomb was partially excavated, then parts of it were destroyed. It
later came under the protection of cultural relic authorities and experts in
Gansu. Nearly one hundred ancient artifacts, including gold plates, carriages
and musical instruments, all first-class cultural relics, have been unearthed.
