Archaeologists unearthed fragments of blue-and-white Chinese porcelain that belonged to the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) and the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). There were also more than 30,000 others, such as compass, wine cup and coins from China and Sri Lanka, 15th century Thai and Vietnamese porcelain, fragments of glazed pottery of late 14th century,stoneware jar, ancient gold ornaments etc.
