Archaeologists find first-of-a-kind remains of 3000-year-old Roman woman

Archaeologists said Tuesday they have dug up a skeleton dating to the 10th century BC in a necropolis in the heart of Rome.

The well-preserved skeleton appears to be that of a woman aged about 30, said Anna De Santis, one of the archaeologists who took part in the excavations under the Caesar’s

Forum, part of the sprawling complex of the Imperial Forums in central Rome.

An amber necklace and four pins were also found near the 5.25 foot-long skeleton.
