The skeleton of the woman was excavated in 1979. According to the researchers, the woman lived between 50 and 70 BC, when London belonged to the Roman Empire as Londinium . The team from the British Museum and other institutes analyzed the DNA of four of the 20,000 skeletons that the museum is storing to understand the city's humanity composition.

Through testing, the team concluded that London's Roman era was as rich in humanity as it used to be, the number of whites only accounted for 45% and more than 100 languages ​​were used in various neighborhoods.

Among the 4 studied skeletons, the woman died at the age of 26 - 35. Chemical analysis in the teeth indicated the woman was born in England, despite her ancestors from northern Europe. The girl has brown eyes and dark brown hair.

The woman is buried in a wooden casket. A necklace placed at the girl's feet, it is possible to refer to the dead as a woman. In addition, there is a vase in the coffin on the head and copper mirror placed at the foot of the dead. All of these artifacts show that women play an important role and hold high status.

"Skeletons found in Harper Road, London, are women 's shape. The pelvis and skull characteristics used to identify sex result in women," said London Museum spokesman. , said. However, women have both X and Y chromosomes and are male in terms of genes. The research team did not know which woman had sex organs.

A syndrome called Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome causes patients to have a female shape but carry a male chromosome . But according to scientists, information about the state of the ancient woman is not enough to confirm this is the cause of this strange characteristic. Although there is no evidence of a woman's behavior or figure, from burial items in the grave, it can be seen that the girl is accepted and even revered by the community.
