Researchers say that the warrior was likely of high status because he and his family were buried more than 16 feet below the ground alongside a trove of valuable items.
Archaeologists have uncovered the 1,500-year-old crypt of a warrior who was buried with his wife and children in an ancient city, according to reports.
Researchers say that the warrior was likely of high status because he and his family were buried more than 16 feet below the ground alongside a trove of valuable items,"In these graves we can see the remains of a family: an adult man—a warrior and a horseman—his wife and three children," Aleksei Voroshilov, head of the Necropolis division at the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said.
Voroshilov and his team say that the warrior and his family may have been killed during an attack by nomadic tribes or died as a result of plague. The crypt is not the only interesting find that the researchers made this summer at the site. For example, the team discovered a marble tabletop which could have been used as an altar in a church, indicating that Christianity was present in Phanagoria in the fifth century.
