...a skeleton was discovered protruding from a cliff... at Curium in the southwest of the Mediterranean island... "It looks like an isolated grave close to the coast," said Maria Hadjicosti, director of the island's Antiquities department.
Not much gets by her.
"It's not a contemporary grave. It is over 200 years old or from the Middle Ages or possibly the Christian period..." Experts now trying to date it say the bones were probably those of an adult, Hadjicosti told Reuters.
So, it's been narrowed down to either a male or female, somewhere between 200 and 4500 years old, probably an adult. ;')

The grave's a fine and private place,
but none I fear, do there embrace.
