Archaeologists from the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo have unearthed a unique burial field in Fredrikstad, southeastern Norway. The site, featuring over 40 circular stone formations, primarily contains the cremated remains of children, dating back more than 2,000 years.
The excavation, led by Guro Fossum, began in December 2023 as part of an investigation into ancient Stone Age settlements. Unexpectedly, the team stumbled upon stone formations that revealed themselves to be burial circles. These circles, located just 2-4 inches (5-10 centimeters) beneath the surface, held cremated human remains, mainly of young children. The stone formations varied from round to oval shapes, each spanning one to two meters in diameter.
