Till now the Terracotta Army has experienced three times excavation. The first time is from its discovery in 1974 to 1985, the second time is in 1986, and the most recent excavation began in June 2009.
The Terracotta Army here is referred to as the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang. It was built in the Qin Dynasty prior to the Han Dynasty. Han Dynasty also had funeral figures with its own feature, besides military style, living style flourished at that time. Overall, Han's terracotta figures were various in style, but smaller in scale compared with Qin's.
The exact place where the Terracotta Army was made is largely known. However, Chinese archaeologists have recently made a breakthrough in this suspense. After a series of in-depth researches on the pollen detected on terracotta fragments, results indicate, among these pollen, the recognized is from 32 kinds of plants, the pollen on the terracotta warriors is of herbaceous characters, and the pollen on the terracotta horses is of conifer. Base on the vegetation distribution at that time, conclusion is made that the terracotta horses were made closer to the tomb of Qin Shihuang than the terracotta warriors. In accordance with the outcome of microelement analysis, it is certain that the terracotta horses were locally produced, since the clay of same micronutrient level is found both in the horses and soil near the tomb.
Viewpoint 1Around 209 BCE, the Terracotta Army was made. That was over 2200 years ago.Viewpoint 2Construction started in 221 BCE and ended in 206 BCE with the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
According to the interviews with the founders and curator of the Museum of the Terracotta Army, the precise discovery time was confirmed to be 29 March, 1974, nearly noon, with one head and one arm of a terracotta warrior being dug up. In fact, some fragments of terracotta warriors and parts of their weapons, such as arrowheads, had often come into sight of the local residents. Unfortunately, none of them were esteemed prior to that time. Because of superstitious thoughts in people's mind, some of the findings were even believed to be ominous, and taken back to their findspots. Thus, the Terracotta Army had to sleep and wait a little longer until the recent cocoon-break.
I think it is terracotta because most pots in that time were terracotta.

The terracotta warriors were found from the highest of technologies after being discovered by the two males in search for other discoveries scientist and archaeologists used a tempermental sustainability machine to show what time present the warriors were built in and to discover what they were for, took the research for awnsers and machinery of the highest technology.
I'm pretty sure they all look different because the artisans of Ancient day china modeled all the Terra cotta warriors after the army in that time.... hope i could help :)
