ROME: Archaeologists in Italy have found the remains of a couple believed to have been enterred 6,000 years ago, locked in a final embrace. The well-preserved skeletons were discovered facing each other, their arms entwined, during excavation work Mantua. “We found these two individuals entwined in a neolithic burial chamber,” lead archeologist Elena Menotti said. “We believe them to be a man and a woman, DNA tests should be able to clear that up.” Menotti said the find was unlikely to be an example of widow sacrifice. “In such ‘widow sacrifices’ the women is buried alongside her husband and not in his arms.”
