\n A skeleton believed to be a murder victim of the Iron Age was unearthed by archaeologists working on a high-speed railroad project in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The adult male skeleton was buried face down in a ditch with his hands bound together near excavation work for the High Speed 2 (HS2) railway system at Wellwick Farm near Wendover.<\/p>\n

His unusual position suggests that he may have been the victim of a murder or execution, archeologists said.<\/p>\n

The project has led to a series<\/a> of remarkable discoveries spanning a 4,000-year period, but archaeologists said the grisly find \u201ccame as a bit of a surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe death of the Wellwick Farm man remains a mystery to us but there aren\u2019t many ways you end up in a bottom of a ditch, face down, with your hands bound,\u201d Project Archaeologist Dr. Rachel Wood said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope our osteologists will be able to shed more light on this potentially gruesome death.\u201d<\/p>\n

The skeleton was not the only remains uncovered at the farm site, which was inhabited by Britons during both the Bronze and Iron ages.<\/p>\n

The group also discovered a skeleton in a coffin that was lined with lead \u2014 with the outer parts likely made of wood.<\/p>\n

They believe that the buried individual must have been someone of high status since they had the means to pay for such an expensive method of burial.<\/p>\n

There have been signs occupation, including a roundhouse, animal pens, and waste pits, also uncovered at the site.<\/p>\n

Lead archaeologist Mike Court said the discoveries will be shared with the public through virtual lectures, as well as an upcoming documentary.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore we build the low-carbon high-speed railway between London and Birmingham, we are uncovering a wealth of archaeology that will enrich our cultural heritage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sheer scale of possible discoveries, the geographical span and the vast range of our history to be unearthed makes HS2\u2019s archaeology program a unique opportunity to tell the story of Buckinghamshire and Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n
