It has been suggested in the previous studies that a series of rituals for which these s…
New Data on the Weaponry of the Terracotta Army (Technological Aspect)
This article presents the results of studying protection methods against corrosion in bronze weapons which were found in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi.
