Seven Hundred Year Skeletons Discovered In Leicestershire by Chazzyboy: 8:49pm On Oct 21, 2014 |
seven hundred years after their death, a couple has yet to part. Archaeologists excavating the site of a long lost chapel in the countryside of Leicestershire, England unearthed the skeletons of a couple who appear to have been buried together holding hands. Experts from the University of Leicester Archaeological Services made the discovery with local volunteers during a dig at what once was the Chapel of St. Morell, a 14th century pilgrimage site in Hallaton, according to a university press release. In addition to the loving duo, archaeologists uncovered nine other skeletons at the site. Radiocarbon dating revealed their bones date back to the 14th century. The findings have left archaeologists wondering about the conditions surrounding the burials, with speculation the people buried there could have been criminals, foreigners or sick. We have seen similar skeletons before from Leicester where a couple has been buried together in a single grave, Vicki Score, ULAS project manager, said in a statement.
