N.Korea excavates more Koryo dynasty metal type pieces: KCNA

Discovery would more than double number of Koryo-era metal type pieces that have been found

North Korea has excavated four more metal type pieces from the palace site of the ancient Koryo dynasty in Kaesong, Pyongyang’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Wednesday.

The two Koreas have conducted a number of joint excavation projects in recent yeas but the North conducted this one autonomously, as every inter-Korean exchange project, including humanitarian aid, has been suspended since Pyongyang’s nuclear test early this year.
