Archaeologists in Iași have discovered prehistoric graves that are 3,000 years old, contradicting the cremation practice of that time. The remains will be studied and displayed to the public.

A team of archaeologists from Iași made a remarkable discovery, finding prehistoric graves over 3,000 years old in a village in the county. This discovery is surprising, as it was believed that during that period, the predominant funeral practice was cremation. Sergiu Enea, a researcher, mentioned that well-preserved skeletons were found, which offers new insights into the funeral practices of the Iron Age.

The archaeologist Ciprian Lazanu explained that these graves seem to be part of an enclave with connections to other southern civilizations, and research will continue to understand the reasons for the choice of burial site. Additionally, the remains of a child from the fifth century were discovered, along with vessels and jewelry. The team will conduct carbon-14 and DNA analyses to obtain accurate data about these communities. Excavations will resume in September, and the discovered objects will be displayed to the public, providing a window into the historical past of the region.
