Trails have to touch 60,000 ancient tombs

Tens of thousands of remains of more than 60 relics have been hit by the train line, making the construction site a workplace of more than 1,000 houses.

200 archaeologists have been invited to participate in the construction of the HS2 train line - a new high-speed rail link between London and Birmingham (England).

They were just a group of more than 1,000 archaeologists working on this railroad, because during construction, this line of roads touched countless remains, coffins and valuable archaeological sites.

The construction site has become the largest archaeological site in the UK - (photo: PA).

This time, a huge cemetery, estimated that 230 years ago, will have to relocate and make room for the train system. It is expected that 60,000 ancient tombs will be dug up, including many coffins of famous historical figures.

The excavator will take away the original soil until the coffin or the remains reveal, then the scientists will take over, excavate each and every skeleton. It is estimated that 1,200 remains were excavated.

Many people protested against or organized small memorials for those who were grave. The leaders of the HS2 project promised the people that the remains and artifacts would be treated "with dignity, concern and respect". They contacted the British History Agency, the Church of England and local parishes to receive the relocation of ancient tombs.

The cemetery is located near St James's Gardens, a large park near the Euston train station in London.

The construction of the HS2 train route more than 240 km long is considered to dig into 10,000 years of British history. During the excavation process, over and over again, the workers dug more than 60 archaeological sites, large and small, from prehistoric settlements, Roman villages to graves of people from time to time.

Mark Thurston, managing director of the HS2 project, said the construction process was "the largest archaeological survey ever found in Britain".
