AN ancient and rare skeleton was among the key archaeological findings discovered in the Northern Governorate as part of an excavation expedition into a burial site dating back thousands of years.
The large archaeological hill, located on a farm in Maqaba, is around four metres high covering an area of 58m by 48m and contains 20 burial sites, 16 graves, and a first-of-its-kind ‘sophisticated garden’, in addition to other artefacts used in burial ceremonies .
