Sacrifices?

Killed captives?

KIA burial?

Budget cuts/downsizing?

Maybe DNA will shed some light on that...

Probably a Roman expeditionary force that was ambushed and annihilated.

Was never reported to Rome by the commander so it remained unknown to this day.....................

“ Cuts and slashes on the skeletons showed they had died violently but nothing is as yet known about the identity of the killers, or their victims.”
