Pictish skeleton found at 1,400-year-old Highland cemetery
BBC ^ | Sept 24, 2019

Archaeologists have excavated the partly-preserved remains of a Pictish skeleton at a 1,400-year-old cemetery in the Highlands.

The skeleton was found on the last day of a two-week dig at Tarradale near Muir of Ord on the Black Isle.

Due to the acidity of the soil, no remains of human bodies had been found until the "surprise discovery".

Archaeologists say the cemetery is one of Scotland's largest recorded Pictish burial grounds.

I am offended, why are they picking on the Pictish? I am am from Craig, the very northern point of Pictism.

Leave my people alone and let them rest...

Because it’s a cemetery, I would think most residents would have figured they wouldn’t be dug up.

But, what do I know?

That farmer must be sick of people digging up his field.

Someone should write a novel in the style of Stephan King; it could be called Field of Bones.

I would not have been surprised if I were digging in a cemetery.
