In the excavated tombs, pottery products are the main products, and in the periphery of the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, archaeologists also found a large number of armor and bones, which are all made of stones.

Archaeologists believe that these weapons should not be used in actual combat because stone objects are not only heavy, but also fragile. When using such equipment to kill the enemy, the armor is easy to crack, and its real function needs further study.
