A burial monument with human remains thought to be about 4,500 years old has been discovered in East Yorkshire.
Parts of a Roman road and a burnt mound were also discovered during a £5m project to build a 5.2km (3.2 miles) sewer near Full Sutton.
Ecus Archaelogy, working on the site for Yorkshire Water, said the three sites give a glimpse into the prehistoric and early historic past of the area.
The analysis stage of the project is yet to start and the sewer is now being laid.
The small circular burial monument was discovered in the vicinity of Full Sutton with the human remains being "surprisingly well-preserved" despite later ploughing, Yorkshire Water said...
The monument is estimated to be either from a Later Neolithic or Bronze Age date and was covered by a dome-shaped mound of earth or stone...
Remnants of the burnt mound included a small earth oven and a deep pit that appeared to have been a well.
Part of the wooden lining of the well was preserved by waterlogging as well as the lower fills which archaeologists took soil samples from...
The Roman Road was uncovered closer to Stamford Bridge and was flanked by drainage ditches.
Yorkshire Water said the alignment suggested it would have led to the remains of the Roman town of Derventio in Reckondales.

Pudding Man?
Almost like a Neanderthal burial.
Far away in time, there was an evening birthday barbecue near the Romano Britain town of Derventio in Reckondales.
So you could dig a hole that is deeper, which is something to be desired to prevent animals from digging up the body for the same amount of energy expenditure that you would spend on a shallower grave where the body was laid out.
:^)
Prehistoric Pudding found
in Yorkshire.
How could they tell?
LOL!
Don’t forget the onion gravy!
Petrified Haggis!
He was drinking a glass of Chateau de Chateaulex

Adam was the first man and is recorded in "history".....whether Google or the Left like it or not.
From the way the title read I thought we were in for another historic fake like the “Piltdown Man” find.
Interesting article!
Beat me to it ;)
“Piltdown Man” is just a common piece of stupidity that some moron adds to science topic keywords.
Prehistoric means, before writing. So, yes, Adam also was prehistoric.
That’s the best kind!
Yeah, they lived in the hole in the road next to ours.
Their hole was much nicer. They only died once. We were brutally murdered every day. Twice on Sundays.
Luxury. We lived in the Lake!
Oy, you had it bad, you did. Drowned a lot, I suppose?
