An ancient tomb has been unearthed at a construction site in Xi'an. More than 60 pieces of porcelain, including cooking vessels and decorative items, have been found. Experts estimate that the tomb dates back to the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD25 -220).

Buried some 10 metres deep, 25-metre long tomb may have served as a collective sepulcher for a big clan over different generations.
