A total of 52 skeletons were discovered by a joint Italian-Iranian archaeological team in the 5200-year-old Burnt City.
Twelve of the skeletons belong to children and a skeleton of a newborn is among the discoveries, anthropologist of the team Farzad Foruzanfar told the Persian service of CHN on Sunday. A large number of the graves excavated during previous seasons belong to children, said Foruzanfar, adding, “Infectious diseases are the main reason for the large number of children.” Three women and four men who died sometime between the ages of 45 and 60 are among the skeletons.
These skeletons determine life expectancy in the Burnt City, Foruzanfar noted.
