Archaeologists Unearth Wooden Burial Bed in London
Archaeologists have made a groundbreaking discovery of a complete wooden burial bed in London, which experts have already dubbed as «unprecedented».
The well-preserved bed was unearthed at a former Roman cemetery site in the heart of London, as reported by The Guardian. The burial bed is made of high-quality oak and has carved legs and hinges, secured with small wooden pegs. It was assembled before placing a man aged between 20 and 30 years old.
According to Michael Marshall, an artifacts specialist at the London Archaeological Museum, there are many other artifacts at the site that are yet to be studied. Excavations are ongoing.
«The bed came as a complete surprise, as we have never seen anything like it before,» Marshall said.
