THE skeletons of more than 70 Roman soldiers and their families have been found under a hotel swimming pool.

Developer John Reeves said: “The skeletons were found under the old swimming pool, in what was an extension to the Roman burial ground.”
A spokesman for York Archaeological Trust said graves of 30 decapitated Romans had been found nearby in 2004.

MORE than 70 Roman skeletons were discovered on the site of a former hotel in York.
The grade two listed building, formerly the Newington Hotel in Mount Vale Drive, overlooks Knavesmire and has been stripped back by developers to create seven new family houses.
During the renovation of the Georgian building, developers were surprised to find human remains, and the York Archaeological Trust were called in to assist with the recovery.
Developer John Reeves said the development had retained most of its original Georgian features, but the scheme had also involved some "interesting" elements.
He said: "The refurb has not been without its issues. To start with, there were over 60 Roman skeletons found under the old swimming pool, in what was an extension to the Roman burial ground further up Mount Vale. All had to be painstakingly removed, catalogued and investigated by the archaeological trust."
York Archaeological Trust unearth Roman skeletons under hotel swimming pool
More than 70 Roman skeletons and numerous pots were found under the swimming pool of a York hotel.
A spokesman for the York Archaeological Trust, said the find was not surprising, given the city's association with the Roman empire, and yielded dozens of finds.
He said: "The property is adjacent to a cemetery excavated by L P Wenham in the 1950s – one of the first Romano-British burial grounds to be fully published in this country and lies about 300m from Driffield Terrace, where a previous YAT excavation in 2004 and 2005 famously uncovered the graves of over 30 decapitated Romans, a number of whom were interpreted as possible gladiators.
"The excavations Lasted three months and 75 graves have been recorded by YAT. The graves were, for the most part, strikingly shallow – something that Wenham had also noted while digging next door – meaning that many of them had been damaged by ploughing throughout the medieval period and 19th century construction."
The spokesman said the cemetery was "demographically diverse", and included "men and women, and individuals of all ages from infants to elderly adults – although they seem to have been broadly of the same social class".
As for the objects found within the graves, Mr Scott said they included "a jet pin", while another individual "had been interred wearing some kind of copper alloy head ornament whose flaky, corroded remains had left a green stain on their forehead".

位於英國約克市（York）的紐因頓飯店（Newington Hotel）因為停業，日前進行整修改裝為一般住宅，沒想到就在開挖游泳池時，發現底下埋藏至少70多具人類遺骸。經過鑑定時間可回溯到史前50年，約當羅馬時代。而這批骨骸中，至少有一半的人是被「斬首」，將砍下的頭顱與身體一同埋葬。
" data-reactid="23">
綜合英國多家媒體報導，老牌的紐因頓飯店是二級歷史建築，已經停止營業，日前相關單位正著手將其改裝為普通住宅，但沒想到在挖掘游泳池時，發現了數十具遺骸，歷史都超過千年以上。
" data-reactid="25">
挖出人骨後，工人們都停止作業，立即通報相關單位，後由「約克考古信託」（York Archaeological Trust）接手，進行專業考古挖掘。根據資料顯示，距離紐因頓飯店約300公尺外的一處地點，在2004年時也曾被挖掘出羅馬遺址，經過鑑定是羅馬「競技場鬥士」（Gladiator）的下葬處。

約克考古信託發言人對媒體表示，在紐因頓飯店挖掘出的遺骸，經過鑑定性別有男有女，年齡從嬰兒到老人都有，因此不太可能屬於鬥士，但初步判斷屬於同樣社會階級，甚至有可能是同一個大家族。目前已知超過70具遺骸，而挖掘仍在進行中。
" data-reactid="40">
研究人員也發現，其中一名骨骸頭部受到金屬腐蝕，留有綠色痕跡，經鑑定為青銅材質，表示此人生前頭部可能配戴金屬頭飾，生活在富裕家庭，有一定的社會地位。
" data-reactid="42">
另一個讓研究人員感興趣的議題是，這批遺骸中的男性身上都有明顯傷痕，其中一人還有被大型動物如熊、獅或狼等啃咬的痕跡；而這些遺骸中有超過一半的被斬首，砍下的頭顱跟身體埋在一起，是否遭到「滅族」或「屠殺」，還須待挖掘出更多史料來佐證。
