BEIJING 2008
|
BEIJING, China (Reuters) -- About 1,100 cultural relics were unearthed at Beijing Olympic venue construction sites last year, state media reported on Thursday.
The relics were discovered at 10 different venues and included about 700 tombs dating from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Xinhua news agency said, citing Shu Xiaofeng, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics.
Beijing is building or renovating 31 venues for the Games, and has embarked on a $40 billion upgrade of the city's infrastructure.
Last October, work was halted at the Beijing Olympic shooting venue after workers found an imperial-era tomb several hundred meters away from the site of several Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) tombs unearthed during construction of the Beijing shooting range hall in May.
Archaeologists in Greece were also kept busy in the lead-up to the 2004 Athens Games, with antiquities discovered at several Olympic venue sites.
