Nearly 1,000 objects have been excavated in Guangzhou from some 100 tombs of eight dynasties dating back about 2,200 years, capital of south China's Guangdong Province.

Experts found the tombs in a construction site in 2010 and continuous excavation has unearthed various objects including bronze mirrors, drinking vessels and house miniatures, according to officials with Guangzhou's archeological institute.

More discoveries are expected as experts are still excavating a 10,000 square-meter area there.
