A rare type of bronze vessel zun, which has a round rim and a square body, is among the items newly unearthed from Sanxingdui site. The new archaeological discoveries at the Sanxingdui Ruins site in southwestern China's Sichuan province may open up the future of archaeology in China and even the world, a Japanese expert has said in an interview with Xinhua. "These new discoveries are the result of the unremitting efforts of archaeological researchers, who have applied epoch-making scientific and technological methods across many fields," said Yoshio Kawamura, a researcher at Kyushu National Museum. "The bronze wares unearthed from Sanxingdui site was the reason why I decided to engage in the study of Chinese archaeology. Talking of the new discoveries at Sanxingdui site, he said, "Many researchers would have guessed that there would be gold items, but what really caught my attention was the large amount of gold objects."
