Skeleton of Burnt ‘Witch Girl’ Found in Italy

Italian archaeologists have unearthed the remains of a Medieval teenage girl who was burnt and thrown carelessly in a pit, her grave covered with heavy stone slabs. Her burial shows she was seen as a danger even when dead, according to the archaeologists. The skeleton was discovered at the complex of San Calocero in Albenga on the Ligurian Riviera, by a team led by scientific director Philippe Pergola.

I am really interested in their find. I am happy someone found this great piece of history.

Hopefully the group can find more graves and maybe some buried treasures.
