In the summer of 2019,a workshop site related to the production of stone armor was discovered in the northeastern part of the ancient city of Xianyang,the capital of the Qin Dynasty.Excavations at the site unearthed a large number of stone materials,blanks,semi-finished products,waste materials,slag,copper and lead bars,as well as iron tools,stone pressing bars,and smelting residues,all of which are closely related to the burial items found in the accompanying pit K9801 of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.This suggests that the workshop site is another location for the production of stone armor,in addition to the one discovered in Xinfeng near Lintong.This discovery contributes to the research on the layout and functions of the northern area of the Xianyang city,and also broadens our understanding of the sources of burial items in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
