Kent: Bronze Age skeleton found on building site
Estimated to have been between 30 and 35-years-old at the time of her death, the first female was found in a crouch-burial position, which occurs when the dead are interred on their sides with their knees pulled up to their chest, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
The separate skull fragment found was thought to be from an adolescent or young adult woman dating from 500- 400BC, while the pit in which it was unearthed also contained burnt flint – meaning rocks which were likely to have been used as tools.
The unexpected finds were made by Swale and Thames Archaeological Survey Company (Swat Archaeology) after developer Orbit Homes secured permission to build what is now Cottington Gardens, on land in Ramsgate in 2022.
