Medieval Burial Found in Croatian Bronze Age Burial Mound

PULA, CROATIA—Croatia Week reports that researchers from Juraj Dobrila University of Pula conducted an excavation at Vrh Kosir, a Bronze Age burial mound on the island of Veli Brijunin in Croatia’s Brijuni National Park. The tumulus has been dated to more than 3,000 years ago, but the team members uncovered a secondary burial radiocarbon dated to the first half of the fourteenth century. A human jaw, many bone fragments, and more than 50 teeth belonging to multiple individuals were recovered on the opposite side of the mound from the medieval burial.
