In February, archaeologists excavated 20 skeletons of women, men, and children, who had lived in Copenhagen, 1,000 years ago. They have since found 10 more.
The skeletons were discovered underneath a bus stop in the Town Hall Square (Rådhuspladsen) in the city centre, meaning that this now bustling part of the city was once a grave yard for some of Copenhagen’s earliest known residents.
