The skull of a teen prince was excavated at Shangjiao village, outside the mausoleum. Wang Yun, a researching staff member of the terracotta warriors and horses at the Emperor Qin Shihuang Museum, explained that the prince might have been playing when he was unexpectedly shot, since it looks as if he's in a state of agony and terror.
