Locals like Zhao Bisong believe it was the ancestors'' will that their secret was at last revealed to the world. "The area was previously farmland. If the bulldozer had not tumbled on the biggest sacrificial pit, the site might have slept under high-rises for decades or even centuries," Zhao said.

Archaeologists are optimistic about more exciting finds.

"The gold masks and jade artifacts carry historical information quite different from cultures in other parts of China," said Professor Sun, "Only half of the 16 layers of deposits have been excavated and further exploration will surely provide new surprises."

"Only about one tenth of the sacrificial area has been excavated, and the king''s mausoleum, which can be expected to contain a rich store of relics, has not been located," said Zhu. "We really have no idea how many relics are lying underground waiting to be discovered."
