Remains of 2500 Year Old Warriors Found in Serbia
Archaeological field surveys on sites along the Corridor 10 route,
currently under construction, have discovered graves from the Iron Age.
The burial sites, found in region of Pirot, south-eastern Serbia,
contain skeletal remains of warriors together with their spears and
knives.
Over the past two
years, archaeologists discovered an ancient suburb of Pirot, called
Suburbium, the remains of the legendary 2,000-year-old road, Via
Militaris, located near Dimitrovgrad, and several ancient milestones.
"We had found a lot of graves older than this one in Pirot, but the
remains were buried in them after being cremated on a funeral pyre,
whereas here we have for the first time a community who conducted full
body burials," a unique find in this part of Serbia.
