LONDON: Archaeologists at Durham University on Wednesday published the results of over 18 months of research into the mystery of a mass grave with a jumbled mix of from 17 to 28 skeletons that have lain untouched for over 350 years.
The skeletons were found in two separate mass graves next to the Dunham Cathedral in 2013 when construction began on a new café for the University’s Palace Green Library, on the City’s UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Archaeologists were present at the site all through the excavations. Senior archaeologist Richard Annis told the BBC that following the removal of the skeletons, the researchers dated them to 1650 and believe them to be the remains of Scottish soldiers captured during the Battle of Dunbar.
