Viggen Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Update from The West Yorkshire Chariot Burial Radiocarbon tests on the wheels of the chariot, which has been described as a "Ferrari of the Iron Age", have proved it dates back to 400BC - 200 years earlier than the previous oldest British find. Archaeologists studying it have also discovered ancient Scots were more in touch with continental Europe than was previously thought. The remains of the chariot were discovered by workers digging on the site of the Edinburgh Interchange business park, near the Newbridge roundabout, nearly three years ago. Scientists have just finished studying the remains and it is now being prepared to go on public display, probably at the Museum of Scotland in Chambers Street. more at the Scotsman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
