Archaeologists in Israel have unearthed a burial site holding dozens of skeletons from 2,500 years ago — possibly the remains of trafficked women — in the heart of the Negev desert in southern Israel.
The two elaborate tombs, which together contain at least 50 skeletons, lie at an ancient crossroads that caravans of traders from different cultures once traversed to swap goods and other resources, according to a study published June 9 in Tel Aviv: Journal of the Institute of Archaeology of Tel Aviv University.
