An exhibition named "Craftsmanship and Ingenuity - Showcase of Preservation and Restoration Achievements of Newly Excavated Cultural Relics from the Sanxingdui Site" opened here on Tuesday. More than 50 pieces of newly restored bronze ware, golden ware, jadeware, ivory and other artifacts are displayed at the exhibition, which will last until the end of 2024. 

Discovered in the late 1920s in the city of Guanghan, Southwest China's Sichuan province, the Sanxingdui Ruins have been dubbed as one of the world's greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. The provincial cultural relics and archaeology research institute said on Tuesday that, since 2022, over 400 sites have been identified, including high-level building foundations, ash pits, ash ditches, and stone artifacts production and processing sites at Sanxingdui. More than 4,000 artifacts, including pottery, jadeware and stoneware, have been unearthed.
