The construction of an electricity project in the United Kingdom has led to significant archaeological findings since 2020, unveiling insights into chapters of ancient history and the lives of those who inhabited the region.
A notable discovery was recently made in Lincolnshire, eastern England, where archaeologists revealed a grave dating back at least 1,400 years.
The Anglo-Saxon burial site, disclosed by the British archaeological organization Wessex Archaeology, contained the remains of over 20 individuals, along with a diverse array of tools, jewelry, and pottery.
This burial ground, associated with Anglo-Saxon communities during the early Middle Ages, originated in the 6th and 7th centuries A.D., as indicated by experts, CBS News reported.
Among the unearthed remains were those of a teenage girl and a child, positioned on their sides with the child nestled behind the teenager, Wessex Archaeology reported.
The older girl was interred with two gold pendants and a silver pendant around her head or chest, accompanied by two turquoise glass beads and a ring-shaped brooch.
Special forensic analyses are planned to determine the relationship, if any, between the teenage girl and the child.
