Archaeologists recently unearthed 600-year-old treasures at Verkių Regional Park in Vilnius, Lithuania.

The National Museum of Lithuania announced on May 15 that excavations revealed two medieval burials dating back to the 13th to 14th centuries.

This follows a 2008 discovery of a dozen graves and artifacts from the same period, though the full extent of the medieval cemetery remained unclear until now.

One grave contained a middle-aged woman adorned with remarkable jewelry, including a coiled brass crown, a necklace of shells, beads, and metal hooks, as well as a bracelet and rings.

She was likely buried in a cloak with two keys and a ceramic pot by her side, and a bell near her feet, which was believed to offer protection, the Miami Herald has reported.

The second grave had fewer artifacts. These findings provide valuable insights into medieval burial practices and the region’s history.
