Archaeologists Uncover Ancient Burials in France, Wales
Recent archaeological excavations in Dijon, France, have uncovered a remarkable series of 13 seated burials dating from 300 to 200 BCE, found in circular pits arranged in a straight line. The deceased were positioned with their backs against the eastern walls, arms alongside their torsos, and legs asymmetrically bent, which is considered atypical for burials of this period. These discoveries, described as 'particularly remarkable' due to their number and preservation, highlight a practice that may have been reserved for individuals of social significance, such as members of dominant families or warriors. Additionally, a black stone armband was the only associated item found, indicating the burials' connection to the Gallic period. The site reflects a rich cultural history, transitioning from funerary practices in the Iron Age to later uses as agricultural land. This excavation contributes to a broader understanding of ancient burial customs and social structures in the region.
