Man Found Dead in Ancient Wine Jug in Bulgaria
Archaeologists in Bulgaria have discovered the skeleton of a young man inside a large clay wine vessel, dating back approximately 1600 years. The man was found with two iron knives and a belt, suggesting he may have been trying to hide from an attack and subsequent fire around 400 AD. The 'dolium' vessel, used for storing wine and olive oil, became his final resting place after the destroyed settlement was rebuilt over it.5 sourcesSee all sources
