"Discovery: U.K. Archaeologists Unearth Ancient Children's Grave with Treasures"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Yahoo! Voices
Construction for an electricity project in the U.K. led to the discovery of an ancient Anglo-Saxon burial site in Lincolnshire, dating back at least 1,400 years and containing the remains of more than 20 people, including a teenage girl and a child. The site also yielded a range of tools, jewelry, and pottery, providing insights into the culture and economy of the community. Osteoarcheologists plan to conduct DNA and isotopic analyses to understand the population's genetic background, mobility, and diet, while also studying familial relationships and broader genetic links within the region. The discoveries were made during excavations for the Viking Link project, which aims to create a cable line between England and Denmark for electricity sharing.
