Ancient skeleton unearthed in Rome


Updated: 12:57 a.m. ET May 31, 2006
ROME - Archaeologists say they have dug up a woman skeleton dating to the 10th century B.C. in an ancient necropolis in the heart of Rome.

The well-preserved skeleton appears to be that of a woman aged about 30, said archaeologist Anna De Santis, who took part in the excavations under Caesar's Forum, part of the sprawling complex of the Imperial Forums in central Rome.

An amber necklace and four pins also were found near the 5-foot-3-inch-long (160-centimeter-long) skeleton, she said Tuesday.
