Bronze Age Tomb Found in Romania

Romanian archaeologists have discovered a Bronze Age tomb in Sultana in southern Romania, the national news agency Rompress reported Monday.

Romanian experts told Rompress the tomb contained the skeleton of a man whose body had been coated with a thick layer of ocher--clay tinted yellow or reddish brown by iron oxide--and buried in a sitting position.

The walls of the tomb were lined with well-preserved twigs and also contained whole tree trunks, said by archeologists to be more than 4,000 years old.
