In Poland, archaeologists excavated a 5,000-year-old grave while investigating a Roman-period cemetery in Poland. They stumbled upon an unexpected discovery near Żórawina, south of Wrocław in south-western Poland. The burial contained an almost complete adult male skeleton and rich deposits, including a tooth necklace, an axe, amber beads and parts of two human skulls. The grave dates near 2900 Before Common Era (BCE), during the early Corded Ware period, according to Smithsonianmag.
