(Image credit: CNAIR/Vasile Pârvan Institute of Archeology) Hunnic burial sites have been found during road construction in Romania. Quote Workers building a new highway in Romania have unearthed the treasure-laden tomb of a wealthy warrior and his horse. The tomb dates to the fifth century A.D., when the region was controlled by a people known as the Huns. Four separate archaeological sites were unearthed during the road construction, and the wealthy warrior's tomb — which the researchers described as "princely" — was just a part of the most complex site, Ene said. "This tomb is of major importance because, in addition to the rich inventory, it was discovered at a site along with 900 other archaeological features — [such as] pits, dwellings, and tombs," he told Live Science in an email. https://www.livescience.com/princely-tomb-hun-warrior-romania Edited January 14, 2023 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
