"Discovery of Copper Age Necropolis in Italy Reveals Ancient Warriors' Skeletal Remains and Sharp Weapons"

Archaeologists in Italy have discovered a Copper Age necropolis in San Giorgio Bigarello containing 22 tombs with well-preserved human remains and a variety of weapons, including flint daggers and arrowheads. The burial site, dating back 5,000 years, also contained burial goods such as soapstone bead necklaces. The skeletons were found buried on their left sides with legs bent, similar to another Copper Age culture in northern Italy. The presence of weapons suggests that many of the individuals buried were warriors, and researchers are now analyzing the DNA in the skeletons to learn more about the identities of those interred at the site.
