"Many bones were lost in the sea. Among the remains, one younger was buried separately. The rest were buried side by side, even in a grave," said Professor Jacqui Mulville, University Cardiff.
According to the latest judgment, the team thinks that they may be either Tudor or Stuart killed by shipwreck. "We will conduct analysis after excavation to understand more about the past and find out their identity , " Mulville added.
Using carbon isotopic dating methods, the scientists concluded that these remains existed from the end of the 16th or early 17th century. The research team plans to analyze the bones in more detail by 2020. .
