Weather of Arabia - A citizen in Oxford County, Ireland, found fossilized traces of a human skeleton from the Iron Age.
Irish paleontologists analyzed the structure and declared that its fragments date back to the Iron Age, the period between the fifth century BC and the fourth century AD. Police have isolated the Fulton Beach area, where a team of archaeologists continues to search for other fragments. According to the Irish newspaper "Irish Times".
The newspaper said that the fossilized parts of the skeleton will all be transferred later to the Irish National Museum for analysis.
The Iron Age is the least studied phase of Irish history. This artifact is considered rare, knowing that the ancient Irish were burning their dead. What is meant by the matter is the first Celtic tribes to come to the region from Europe, and who began to settle the British Isles.
It is noteworthy that archaeologists consider the Forlorn Point beach area as the area of large settlements of Iron Age people, along with ancient settlements in County Armagh in Northern Ireland, Dun Aileen in County Kielder and Croghon in County Roscommon.
