The skeletons with coins dating back to the reign of kings Sigismund III Vasa and John II Casimir were discovered in an area in southeast Poland known as the Church Mountains (Góry Kościelne) and confirm local legends of a children’s graveyard.
The six were found in a “house of the dead” and cast new light on ancient burial rituals.
The new project by researchers at the University of Łódź will see the remains of 200 people digitised and put online.
