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. “The main question we find
ourselves asking is why were they
buried up there? There is a perfectly
good church
in Hallaton. This leads us to wonder if
the chapel could have served as some sort
of
special place of burial at the time.”
Other relics discovered at the chapel
have
provided clues into the site’s Roman past;
researchers estimate the area has been
a
place of significance for more than
2,000
years. Findings include silver pennies dating between the 12th and 16th
centuries and bits of stone masonry,
according to
the university. The Leicestershire
couple is not the first
pair of skeletons to be discovered holding
hands. In 2011, Italian archaeologists
discovered the skeletal remains of a
couple holding hands that date back to
the 5th and 6th century. The woman’s
body was found positioned facing towards
her male partner, according to
Discovery
News. Last year, the remains of a
couple
believed to have lived between 1450 and 1550 were discovered in Romania,
“seemingly bound in a endless embrace
of
love.”

Love forever I guess

From spending far too much time watching CSI-Miami, i can infer from the picture that they were probably lovers buried alive, and they were holding hands out of fear; the one with the mouth open must have either been screaming in fear or gasping in futility for much needed oxygen!

The one with the mouth open is the male. Simple Biology. Male and female skeletons are different. See the hollow at the hip of the right skeleton? That's the cavity for child birth. Coupled with the wide hips...

Life is.... Vanity.....!!...
