trove

Chinese archaeologists have made a historic discovery. Along with thousands of other artifacts, they have unearthed a very rare gold imperial seal that was possibly used by the heir apparent of an emperor of China. The seal was found with a treasure trove of objects in what is believed to be a Ming battlefield. This precious artifact comes from a turbulent period in the history of China, which saw the fall of the Ming and the rise of Qing Dynasty. The remarkable item was uncovered during the latest archaeological mission at the Jiangkou Chenyin historic site, which is in Sichuan, in the southwest of the vast nation. It was acclaimed as one of “China's top 10 archaeological discoveries in 2017,”
