Archaeologists in China have identified a wooden section of Great Wall in Liaoning province, Xinhua has reported. The wooden section, unearthed near Dandong in northeastern China, contains willow fences, and helps to corroborate the existence of the ‘Wooden Great Wall’, which is recorded in history books. The willow fences were built upon the remains of oak walls in the Qing dynasty (1636-1911A), after the original wooden structures collapsed, a report by the Liaoning Culture Relics Bureau and Liaoning Bureau of Surveying and Mapping has claimed. The original wooden wall is thought to date back to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644AD).
