Terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum is famous in the world, but their original place of raw material
is still a riddle up to now. A total of 44 samples of pottery warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum in pit No.3, 20 samples of clay nearby Museum of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, one sample of Yaozhou porcelain body are selected for analysis. The contents of 32 micro elements in these samples are measured by neutron activation analysis(NAA). These data are analyzed by fuzzy cluster analysis, and the trend cluster analysis diagram is obtained. The results show that in terms of chemical composition of the microelements the terracotta warriors and horses from pit No.3 are close to loam soil layer nearby Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, but become estranged from loess layers, and have no relation to Yaozhou porcelain body. Thus it is reasonable to deduce that the Lishan may be considered as the original place of raw materials of the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, and the kiln sites may be also neighborhood of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. 
