Are the remains displayed the way they were found? As it is, it looks like they just dumped out a box of bones. Sort of a shame given that the remsins had been "carefully and deliberately buried."
- defrost 2y agoThe bones appear to be displayed "as found" after 4,000 years of in ground flesh rot, ground compression, and possible other forces such as gas ballooning and worms, etc. You can see the head -> spine -> pelvis -> leg bones indicate how the body was lain down and folded at the knees and somewhat at the waist. Grave goods (remnants of) and orientation would have prompted the description of carefully, delibrately buried.
- technothrasher 2y agoThey are pretty much, if not exactly, as they were found. The museum's website has an "as found" picture. https://salisburymuseum.org.uk/collections/stonehenge-archer/ https://salisburymuseum.org.uk/collections/stonehenge-archer...
