About 40 beheaded skeletons were among 425 bodies found in a late Roman cemetery uncovered by archeologists in southern England.
The team of around 50 archeologists made the discovery during an excavation at Fleet Marston, near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, on the route of the multi-billion pound high-speed rail link that is currently under construction,Around 10 percent of the bodies were decapitated. Many had their heads placed between their legs or next to their feet.
Over the next few years, the researchers will study the exhumed skeletons, offering an opportunity to learn more about Roman civilization's historic lifestyles, diet, and beliefs. The team also uncovered over 1,200 coins at the site, along with several lead weights indicating that this was an area of trade and commerce.Domestic objects including spoons, pins, and brooches were found, as well as gaming dice and bells which suggest gambling and religious activity took place there too.
