Ancient Necropolis of 40 Tombs With Humans Buried in Pots Discovered in Corsica

Ancient Necropolis of 40 Tombs With Humans Buried in Pots Discovered in Corsica OWEN JARUS, LIVE SCIENCE 14 MAY 2021 An ancient necropolis with 40 tombs, including cylindrical jars filled with human remains, has been discovered on the French island of Corsica.  The people buried in the cemetery range from infants to adults, the archaeologists said. Located in the town of Île-Rousse on the island s northern coast, the cemetery seems to have been used between the third and fifth centuries CE, a time in which the Roman Empire was gradually declining.   Many of the people were found buried inside amphoras, large vessels that would normally be used to carry goods such as olive oil, wine or pickles. The design of the amphoras indicates that they are from North Africa, with some possibly being manufactured in Carthage.
