In England, scientists during excavations discovered a rather strange and ancient burial. Archaeologists are interested in the remains of men with amputated legs and pierced skulls found next to weapons.
Scientists conducted research before the construction of the highway from Cambridge to Huntington. Discovered skeletons of men with severed limbs and punctured skulls have not yet been studied. The remains belong to the late Roman era or to the early Anglo-Saxon period, which began in the 5th century. The objects were placed at right angles to each other and lay in a T-shape. Archaeologists have noticed turned heads and dismembered limbs.
To date, scientists cannot answer whether the men's skulls were damaged to death. The burial site turned out to be a gravel pit. In the future, the authors of the project intend to determine whether they carried out violence against the ancient inhabitants. According to archaeologist Kasia Gdanets, amputation of limbs could be a punishment to prevent people from getting out of the grave. Experts noticed a torso without legs and a pelvis 50 meters from the find in a Roman well.
