The restoring of the implied words in "that" clause
In Chinese accounts, the Xiongnu first appear at Ordos in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yi_Zhou_Shu and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_of_Mountains_and_Seas during the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warring_States_period before it was occupied by the states of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_(state) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhao_(state). It is generally thought to be their homeland; however, when exactly they came to occupy the region is unclear and archaeological finds suggest it might have been much earlier than traditionally thought.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordos_culture#cite_note-11

however, when exactly they came to occupy the region is unclear and archaeological finds suggest it might have been much earlier than [we / it was ] traditionally thought. We meaning people who lived in the region, earlier writers, etc. The passive with the dummy it leaves the subject out.
