		This army of more than 6,000 life size terracotta warriors, with horses and chariots lined up facing east and ready for battle, is one of the world’s most remarkable archaeological finds.
		The terracotta warriors were made for Qin Shihuang (259-210BC),also known as The First Emperor, and with his mausoleum lying only 1.5km, (0.9 miles) away it is assumed the army was made to accompany him on his journeys after death.
		It is thought to be the headquarters of the terracotta army and these warriors were in command of the soldiers in the other pits as they protected Qin Shihuang in the underworld.

	Discovery Channel :: News - Archaeology :: Pollen Reveals Terracotta Army Origins
		The pollen found in the terracotta warrior sample was mostly from herbaceous plants, such as members of the mustard and cabbage family, the genus of plants that includes sagebrush and wormwood, and the family of flowering plants that includes quinoa, spinach, beets and chard.
		The pollen detected in the terracotta horse sample, however, mostly came from trees, such as pine, kamala and ginkgo.
		Some granules survived in the terracotta, however, because the figures appear to have been fired at inconsistent temperatures with parts of the objects —especially thicker portions — not undergoing complete firing.

	Terracotta Warriors - a historical introduction to Xi'an's Terracotta Army and China's First Emperor
		The Terracotta Warriors represent only a small portion of the eight thousand strong underground army buried in front of the Emperor Qinshihuang's tomb (r.
		The Terracotta Warriors, that you will see today, form just one of the many barriers the ruthless Emperor employed to protect his tomb for eternity.
		The limestone and marble Kouroi and Kourai of the Greek Late Archaic Period (535-480 BCE) refute the claim that the Terracotta Warriors were the first free-standing statues in the history of world art.

		The art products in terracotta or burnt clay satisfied the creative impulse of the artists and also met the domestic and ritual needs of ordinary man. Clay objects were either baked in the sun or burnt into terracotta for hardening and durability and were used by man in his daily life since pre-historic times.
		The main purpose of these terracotta plaques in the early period was to decorate the walls of the temples and to break monotony of the severe plainness of the temple walls.
		The terracotta figurines of Pala-Chandra period are mostly in the form of terracotta bricks that were embellished on the walls of the temples of Paharpur and Mainamati.

	Terracotta Warriors -- New Theories on Ancient Artifacts
		Although the ruins of a kiln used to create the Qin terracotta warriors and horses, which are celebrated as the Eighth Wonder of the World, have not yet been found, academics believed that the terracotta warriors and horses were fired in a kiln made from an upright pit.
		He suggests that the terracotta warriors and horses were probably not fired in upright kiln pit after all.
		After examining fragments of the terracotta warriors and horses, Ye Hongming noticed that although the terracotta warriors and horses are characterized by hardness, they may well have been successfully fired using a traditional temporary kiln technique, not necessarily a kiln stove as previously thought.

	InfoQ: Terracotta open sources JVM clustering
		Terracotta for Spring is a customization of DSO which allows the transparent clustering of Spring Application Contexts, Singleton bean types, Application context events, as well as Spring’s JMX support.
		Terracotta can also be used as a Grid solution, implementing the Master/Worker pattern defined in the CommonJ spec from IBM and BEA.
		Terracotta has implemented the Master/Worker pattern.It is intended to help with Locality of Reference by moving the app to the data instead of the data to the app, but it requires uses POJOs to function.

	Spring Clustering with Terracotta
		Terracotta's decision to open-source its clustering technology was in part driven by a new-found love between it and major open-source enterprise application tools and frameworks, such as Tomcat and Spring.
		Terracotta adds to that mix the ability to run an application without a big, heavy application server—a giant, monolitic container that somehow does some fancy bean-managed persistence, container-manged persistence, or session-clustering.
		With Spring and Terracotta, you can write business logic in one contiguous place, then wire up to a messaging infrastructure and databases in one logical manner, and then you can get the critical state shared across copies of an application running on different VMs.

	Terracotta, World Fusion Music
		Reflecting the orange and brown hues of the earth associated with warmer climates, Terracotta's music brings together a warm mix of the mysterious beauty of Indian melodies, the grounded power of African rhythms, the harmonic clarity of European classical sophistication and the hidden emotion of American jazz.
		Terracotta's original compositions of world fusion music, drawn from the sitar, keyboards, horns and strings, are melodies of an emerging global culture representing a joyful and colorful celebration of life.
		The only thing missing from this set is a strong vocal presence, but for once in my life I have to say that vocals might do more to detract from the music than add to it.

	Java Community News - Terracotta Open-Sources Clustering Technology
		Some of the things that Terracotta will do better as a result of community contributions are dynamic load balancing across Terracotta servers—distributing the workload to multiple Terracotta servers is something the community is likely going to push.

		Terracotta had a very compelling presentation at the last JavaOne and from a developers point of view, their transparent clustering approach makes all the other options, well pretty ridiculous.

	Terracotta Pots : terracotta planters & urns
		Although their appeal is undeniable, terracotta pots need a little extra care to ensure they last a long time in your garden.
		In addition to special attention when handling your terracotta pots (sometimes spelled terra cotta or terra-cotta) to avoid chipping or cracking, you will usually need to water your plants more often, as terracotta, clay and earthenware tend to dry out more quickly than other planter materials.
		Terracotta pots are typically unglazed and low-fired, and remain porous after firing.
