They have excavated many ancient tombs and more than 500 artifacts, including a fine array of weapons. This remarkable find sheds new light on ancient Chinese life, and notably the enigmatic Chu culture.</p>
<p>The discovery has been made near Dengcheng village in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, where teams from the Hubei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, together with the Xiangyang Municipal Institute, have unearthed the
Warring States period cemetery dating back to 475–221 BC, a time of intense historical significance and cultural development in
ancient China.</p>
