秦始皇陵中2200多年前的兵马俑的来源仍然是一个谜，尽管一些研究人员推断兵马俑是在陵墓附近生产的。从兵马俑碎片中提取的花粉和孢子，与秦始皇陵2号坑秦代地层土壤样品中的花粉和孢子进行比较，结果表明，兵马俑的花粉谱与兵马俑的花粉谱不同，而与当地土壤样品相似。草本花粉占主导地位的战士样本，而树木花粉占主导地位的马和土壤样本。孢粉学证据表明，兵马俑是在陵墓附近的一个地方生产的，而武士来自更远的地方。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The provenance of more than 2200-year-old terracotta warriors and horses in the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum is still a mystery, even though some researchers have inferred that the terracotta figures were produced near the mausoleum. The sporomorphs (pollen and spores) extracted from terracotta fragments of a warrior and a horse and compared with those obtained from soil samples from the Qin Dynasty layer in Pit No. 2 of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum indicate that the pollen spectrum from the terracotta horse is different from that of the warrior, but similar to the local soil samples. Herbaceous pollen was dominant in the warrior sample, while arboreal pollen predominates in the horse and soil samples. Palynological evidence suggests that the terracotta horses were produced at a locality near the mausoleum, while the warrior came from a site which was further afield. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
