Hundreds of years old
Creepy find in Graz: skeletons on a building site
A find in the Styrian capital that is as spectacular as it is creepy: during construction work in the area of the Taggerwerk in Graz's Puchstraße, numerous skeletons were discovered. They are several hundred years old and archaeologists are already working on them.
Spectacular images of a gruesome discovery are currently circulating on social media: several skeletons have been found in the area of the former Taggerwerk in Graz's Puchstraße, as Markus Lamb, spokesman for the Styrian police, confirmed to the "Krone" newspaper. According to the report, bones that are several hundred years old were discovered by construction workers on August 26. The find is therefore not connected to the former Nazi camp in Liebenau. City archaeologist Susanne Lamm assumes that the burials took place in the 17th or 18th century: "No grave goods were found, which makes dating difficult."
Until now, it was not known that people had been buried in this area, emphasizes the scientist in an interview with the "Krone": "The site is not listed in the archaeological register." An archaeology company was entrusted with securing the human remains, which lay at a depth of one and a half meters. Forensic medicine was also involved, according to Markus Lamb: "From a police point of view, the work is now finished for the time being."
