Ancient Brick Kiln Discovered in E. China Province
Archeologists have excavated an ancient brick kiln discovered in east China's Anhui Province by farmers planting trees.

Finished bricks were unearthed from the B-shaped 30-sq.m kiln in Shankou Village of Feixi County, which archeologists said was probably built after the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) and before the Tang Dynasty (618-907)

Archeologists believed the bricks covered with decorative patterns and figures were specially used for building tombs.

The possibility of finding large-scale tombs in the area could not be ruled out, the archeologists said.
