Engineers laying down pipes more than 50 miles outside London found dozens of ancient skeletons. Workers with the U.K. utility company Thames Water uncovered bones believed to be part of a nearly 3,000-year-old settlement in England — and archaeologists believe some of them may have belonged to victims of “human sacrifice.”
Twenty-six human skeletons believed to be from the Iron Age and Roman periods were found in Oxfordshire as the company was working on a project to preserve a rare chalk stream, Thames Water said in a statement. The company said some likely were involved in ritual burials. A spokesperson told CBS News that the discovery was made “several months ago.”
