Original: armée de terre cuite

Fresh attention is on China's Terracotta Army after reports that fingerprints left on the clay figures some 2,200 years ago are helping researchers identify the individual craftsmen who built the warriors in the tomb of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, near Xi'an. The findings highlight the workshop organisation behind one of archaeology's most famous discoveries.
