"Almost 50 skeletons dating to the 7th and 11th centuries
have already been uncovered by archaeologists at dunes in Whitesands
Bay, St Davids"
The archaelogical dig at an early medieval chapel should reveal details about life in Wales a thousand years ago.
"Many [skeletons] were in ‘cist’ graves – long graves lined with stone slabs. Child
graves were also found decorated with layers of quartz pebbles and
limpet shells."
This is another fascinating story. It's incredible what ancient skeletons can reveal to us.
