Try these website: http://www.globalmountainsummit.org/terra-cotta-warriors.html Pit 1 is the largest of the three pits. It measures 755 feet (230 meters) long from east to west, 203 feet (62 meters) wide from north to south, covering an area of 153,493 square feet (14,260 square meters). Up to now, about 2,000 clay warriors and horses, 20 wooden chariots have been unearthed with in an area of 43,056 square feet (4,000 square meters). It's assumed that more than 6,000 terracota warriors and horses, and 50 chariots were buried in Pit 1. Making the Terra Cotta Warriors All pottery warriors and horses were made using local clay, then baked in the kiln. After firing the figures were completed with painted detail. The Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses were made in life-size. The Construction of Pit 1 Pit 1 is a subterranean earth and wood structure. Eleven corridors, divided by ten earth-rammed partition walls, are paved with pottery bricks on which the teracotta figures were placed. The earth walls sustained wood roof that was composed of huge and strong rafters. The roof was covered with layers of fiber mats on which fine soil was filled.

Here's a more recent news article that also mentions the 8,000 terra cotta number: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jun/11/china-terracotta-army-soldiers-unearthed If you ever get the chance to go to see the site, seeing all of these soldiers first hand is really amazing.
