From a new (to me) weblog I like, "<a href="http://www.shanghaieye.net/english/?p=297" title="Shanghai Eye">Ancient tomb found opposite Shanghai Eye’s house</a>":

<quote>Workmen digging the new subway line bumped into an old 700 yer old tomb, just next to Shanghai Eye’s humble 33 floor abode. The flattened city block, which previously housed thousands of people in close proximity, is set to be the gateway to the 2010 World Expo.</quote>

The coverage I read in the morning paper back when this happened could be summarized like "a professor was called, he looked at the corpse and decided it was in unrecoverable condition so he cut off some cloth and jewelry and they tossed the remains back in the hole."  Yes, that bad.
