While they were searching, an object emitted sparkling light when sunlight or lights shined on it, attracting the archaeologists’ attention. Turns out, it was a circular piece of glass threaded through a wire. According to experts, this tomb belongs to the Southern Song period, about 800 years ago, and it is unlikely that this piece of glass could have appeared in that era. Therefore, they decided to bring it back to the laboratory.
