Recent research reveals that the Terracotta Army was not solely crafted by adult men, but also involved women and children. Analyzing fingerprints on the statues, scientists found that 45% belonged to men, 32.7% to women, and 22.3% to minors. This challenges long-held beliefs about the workforce during the Qin dynasty, suggesting a diverse labor force. The study provides a new quantitative method for analyzing ancient craftsmanship and highlights the importance of including various demographics in historical labor studies. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the production processes behind this iconic archaeological site.
