Last year, archaeologists from Museum Vestsjælland found five cremation graves at Kværkeby near Ringsted, where district heating is to be installed. Cremation graves are buried remains from a funeral pyre and do not show much, but can hide several things.
In two of the graves, enough bone material was preserved for experts from Moesgård's Department of Natural Sciences to determine the sex and age of the dead and burned.
It turns out that in all likelihood it is a small child aged 1-3 and a woman aged 40-60.
Now we are waiting for the C-14 dates so we can know when they lived and died.
