The recent discovery of a medieval cemetery in a Paris suburb reveals the evolution of burial practices and provides invaluable insights into the region's historical population.
Archaeologists found that burials in the cemetery, which spanned from the 3rd to the 10th centuries AD, were arranged in parallel rows, indicating a consistent practice over 700 years.
This excavation suggests that the cemetery may date back to late Antiquity, over 1,500 years ago, challenging previous understandings of the site's age.
The sarcophagi discovered were unadorned and typically contained only one body, differing from common findings of multiple remains, highlighting unique burial customs in this cemetery.
