Many pits discovered During an archaeological excavation In trail park CardiffA small amount of human remains are found in three of them.
The cremation is believed to return to today bronze AgeAnd a 1500 BC was found next to the roundhouse which was found on the site two years ago.
Experts believe that the proximity of the remains suggest that the site “importance” for those who lived there at the time, and family members may have been buried there.
Volunteers for carauu and ely rediscovering (Caer) Heritage Project are now working to add the importance of the latest discoveries simultaneously, which suggest that the site may be more expander than before.
Dr. Director of KER, Head of Archeology and Conservation at Cardiff University, Dr. Oliver Davis co-director Dr. Oliver Davis, “The discovery of these the crimes is extremely exciting and is another example of rich history, a partner in the project.
“The fact that the crematorium is so closely buried by the roundhouse, suggests that they may have been kept there to remember the family members. It may also mean that the site has a formal importance to the people at that time.”
He said: “This region, which we already knew, was only 200 meters away from a Roman Villa, clearly a significant place in thousands of years. It is providing us a window on some of the cardif inhabitants as soon as possible, living here in Kairau and Eli before three millennia.
“The work now starts digging carefully through each layer, transferring through the materials that we are finding here a per hour. This is the effort of a real team.”
Trellie Park is a well -used place for sports teams and dog walkers. It is half a mile from the Kerau Hilphart, a heritage site of national importance, where the neo -post, Iron era, Roman and medieval are found first.
Alice Clarke, 36, who lives in Carauu, has been working voluntarily with a Ker project for five years and said: “It is really attractive. We have found a lot of quartz here so far. I will also work in Ker Heritage Center after Dig, which cleans all the search in big bags. I like it.”
One of the volunteers, 19 -year -old Hannah Sekar, has abolished his A level and wants to study archeology and ancient history at the degree level.
He said: “There is a very exciting atmosphere here and everyone is welcoming a lot. I had no archaeological experience before coming here, and it has been very good to talk to students about their degree. It is incredibly incredible to find the artworks that can be 3,000 years old and think of those who are walking in front of us.”
