The findings Archeology Saxon


Discovery of archaeological value in Ramsgate, Kent, UK couples show''lie''in the land in line with one hand a squeeze, but the findings still leave mystery hidden 1000 years ago.

First, scientists think if the pair is a man with a wife who died together, but further research says if two people is the possibility that the two men hold each other, be it with the soldiers who died and buried in the ground.

Burial is not always derived from the Saxon period between 410 M and 1066 M. Currently, forensic tests are carried out to determine the sex pair, and precisely when they are buried.

Adrian Gollop, project head at the National Archeology Cantebury, who led the excavation, as dilansir by Telegraph.co.uk, said "This is one of the discovery of a quite rare,"




"The body is right, very clearly is the man. Highest their unusual, both over 6 feet (more dar 180 cm). While the right has the signs of women but it also looks like a skull man," said Adrian

"Until we check the bone-bone, we can not ensure 100 percent," said Adrian again. The findings of the skull now be surrounded by moat. Initially Adrian and joined scientists think they come from the Iron Age, but now they think they are more to the future-the Saxon period.

Saxon period is the period where the nation of the original Saxon of Germany, and immigrated menginvasi island Great Britain, with the angles, Jutes, Frisian and Frank, after the fall of Roman domination in the West about a century 449 M. Because of that, race consists of a collective German Saxon, angles, and Jutes who live on the island of Great Britain and then called the Anglo-Saxon.

"When we tend to see the beginning of the two skull as a pair, we now think they may be buried as a brother. They died together and buried together," said Adrian. "There are no artefacts buried with them that can provide guidance. This is really a mystery, "Adrian supplement

Tests of the bones was not done, but if they hope forensic examination may provide more guidance, who is the second pair. In addition to these two pairs of the skull, the archeologists also have found tombs and artefacts with a range estimated to come from the Early bronze Age (between 2700 BC and 1500 BC) in the Middle age and location of the 90 Acre. "This is really archaeological discovery of the extraordinary," said Adrian
