ship in Newport, Wales have unearthed human remains. Curioser
and curioser. The saga of the Newport medeival ship continues to
spark interest around the world. On December 12, 2002,
excavators discovered two ancient leg bones at the site on the
River Usk. "It's possible that these bones are the result of
some kind of accident," said Adam Yates of the Archaeological
Trust. The bones belong to a grown man and were found underneath
the ship. The bones have been removed for carbon dating.
