On Feb 8, 2001, builders working on an apartment construction site in Jinsha village in Chengdu found ivory and jade pieces among the piles of dirt.

Since then, archaeologists have excavated more than 10,000 precious relics dating back 3,000 years. They include gold, jade, bronze and stone wares, as well as elephant tusks and deer bones.
