| Set
of figures in Pit No. 3 includes: Headquarters
group.
You reach Pit No. 3 by walking 25 meters north from Pit
No. 1. It was discovered within a month after the archeologists
had found Pit No. 2. It is a concave structure of 520
square meters. There are 68 warriors, four horses and
one chariot. No battle formation.
The terracotta warriors are posted on guard duties. There
are animal bones and deer horns strewn about, probably
sacrifices offered on the eve of a battle. You could find
the terracotta warriors with painted faces and wearing
painted armor. Archeology experts attribute to this group
the command center or headquarters group for those in
the other two pits.
