Skeletons found near Plains of Abraham

This article is about two nearly intact human skeletons discovered near the Plains of Abraham last winter date back to the 19th century or earlier.
Construction workers found the bones last February while breaking ground for new washroom facilities on the plains, a natural plateau outside Quebec city's fortified walls.
Archeologists confirm the remains belong to a teenaged boy and an older woman.
the bones of the teen ege boy are in perfect conditions, the team of archeologists hired by the National Battlefields Commission to investigate the bones.
It's the first time a burial site has been discovered on the plains. There are no official records of any burial grounds in the park, where British troops confronted the French in the 1759 Battle of Quebec.
mi opinion
in my opinion i think that is really cool thet is the first time they had find this kind of stuff in Quebec, and that they should keep searching about this because with this kinds of stuff we can learn more about the past and think more like our ancestors.
